One thing we love doing on our Arc Analysis series: finding hidden gems, outside of the big 2 publishers, like this comic right here. It's as self-explanatory as they come and that is a nice change of pace from epic, sprawling adventures for a more focused, but grizzly idea.

It can be a challenge to keep up with comic releases week over week, but with IDW's new release of Eastman and Laird's The Last Ronin, we couldn't help ourselves. 

We'll be following this series as it drops, one issue at a time, independent of our regular episodes, and other supplemental series. So enjoy it or perform seppuku, you disgrace. 

This is the Light of X, our next wave of X-Men books, and it's... Something.

Covered in this episode:

• Deadpool #6

The next drop in our Dawn of X coverage: welcome to the Cockcrow of X, when the cock crows or the crow cocks... Whatever.

Covered in this episode:

• Hellions #1

More Dawn of X coverage up your alley (finally) with our 5th (technically 6th) entry in this Marvel relaunch.

Covered in this episode:

• X-Men/Fantastic 4 #3, #4

Once upon a time, way back in the early to mid 90's, there was this super cool, super edgy cartoon where humans had turned into mutants and they all played sports. In these sports they played, it wasn't uncommon for an athlete to lose a limb or three, or come close to a brutal death. This was Mutant League.

Despite our childhood subconsciousness' best efforts to lead us to believe that this show was incredible, it was not. It is not. It really isn't very good, but it did make us laugh.

On the heels of out official episode, Bat Meat (Epi #42), we bring you the sequel to one of the books we covered there, Batman: Dark Victory.

We don't often do news-y episodes, but when something as big (and as great) as DC Fandome happens, even D'Lethal Weapons take notice.

We talk about a heap of reveals that DC dropped on top of our nerdy little heads this weekend; from The Batman to Suicide Squad to Wonder Woman and even more Batmen, check out our new name for the whole thing: The DCFU.

Back in April, DC Comics Twitter sent out a simple question - which 3 books are in your reading pile out of the following nine:

• Batman The Dark Knight Returns

In today's meaty episode, we break down the exact definitive top 3 list (it really wasn't that hard) from this selection.

Back at it again with our next Dawn of X episode: this is our 4th entry, Morning of X!

Fantastic 4 meet the X-Men, Domino and Colossus share battle scars, Kate has to sink or swim, Sunspot and Deathbird romancing violence, we learn about the Crucible, Exodus is in some books, holy Nightcrawler, and remember Warwolves? 

• X-Men/Fantastic 4 #1 & #2
