Four attractive men have played Frank Castle aka THE PUNISHER. Which one do we want to punish us the hardest? We review X-MEN comics including CYCLOPS 1, UNCANNY X-MEN 24, and a preview of Marvel's ARMAGEDDON! DRAG RACE changed up SNATCH GAME. And EW! We read a DC book (or two)!

Marvel Studios' AVENGERS DOOMSDAY will release on December 18, 2026, but that doesn't mean Brett and EvilJeff can't make some speculations. On RuPaul's DRAG RACE 18x6, Athena Dion takes the crown in Rate-A-Queen with the help of her family. In X-Men comics, Brett and EvilJeff review some early Shadows of Tomorrow including MAGIK & COLOSSUS 1, STORM: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST MUTANT 1, and UNCANNY X-MEN 23.

Marvel Studios' WONDER MAN is a more focused project for MCU TV ... that possibly makes Simon Williams and MUTANT? Brett and EvilJeff have their Wonder Man review and reactions. Plus! Izaya and William have moved out of Netflix's THE BOYFRIEND house. Is the show better for it? All this plus some DRAG RACE and SCARLET WITCH talk.

We start with a look at trailers for MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE and MARVEL'S WOLVERINE by Insomniac Games. Then we talk about Netflix's THE BOYFRIEND S2, Korean dating reality shows, and RPDR 18x4. In comic books, X-MEN have begun the SHADOWS OF TOMORROW and EW! We read ABSOLUTE BATMAN: ARK M! Our first Absolute DC book!

Brett and EvilJeff got a glimpse of James Marsden's Cyclops in Avengers: Doomsday and boy does he look good. FALLOUT S2 has us addicted to Buffout! Brett makes Jeff guess the outcomes of DC K.O. And the Age of Revelation won't die in X-Men comics with an epilogue. All this plus a lot of weird audio and connection issues in Comic Book Queers episode 368!

Hi we have so many finales to review! HEATED RIVALRY took us beyond the cottage. PLURIBUS gave The Invader one more chance before KABOOM. X-MEN AGE OF REVELATION revealed a new-ish villain. STRANGER THINGS stayed true to the 80s. And, oh wait, RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE S18 has started her engines. Who better to talk about this than Brett and EvilJeff, two gay nerds who have this podcast.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! It's our annual CBQ Awards celebrating the best, worst, and gayest of 2025! Will HEATED RIVALRY win BEST NON-COMICS TV? Will SUPERMAN win BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE? Will MY HERO ACADEMIA or PEACEMAKER take best BEST COMIC BOOK TV? Who is this year's BEST QUEER IRL? Find out as we give awards to the rather limited set of media and storytelling we engaged with this year!

Brett and EvilJeff have reactions to the leaked AVENGERS DOOMSDAY X-Men lineup and THE BOYS S5 trailer. HEATED RIVALRY introduces its B-couple: Scott Hunter and Kip the Muscular Barista. We like the extra banana. Plus, we check in with PLURIBUS ep6 (John Cena!) and last week's comics including AMAZING X-MEN 3 and WICCAN: WITCHES ROAD.

HEATED RIVALRY has Brett and EvilJeff in violation of high sticking. And STRANGER THINGS S5 drops its first batch of episodes. Do we still care about Vecna, Will, and Robin and the straight characters? Plus, we continue following along the AGE OF REVELATION in the X-Men Marvel Comics.
