One last word on the Age of Revelation. We sat down with author and artist Tony Fleecs to discuss Omega Kids, Tony and Andres Genolet's tale of Quentin Quire navigating perhaps his most personal challenge--being uncool in front of teenagers! It's a fun time and one that hit your hosts very hard with its educational setting. Later we discuss the upcoming fifth arc of Feral and Deathstroke the Terminator.

Omega Kids (2025) is written by Tony Fleecs with art by Andres Genolet with colors by Fer Sifuentes-Sujo and Letters by Vc Travis Lanham covers by Dave Bardin and Rod Reis

You should put Feral on your pull list before the March 3rd cutoff in order to get on board issue 21 the start of a new arc. You have TWO weeks (until Feb 23) to add Deathstroke the Terminator to your pull list. You won't want to miss either of these books!

The Age of Doug has come and gone and now we deal with the fallout in SHADOWS OF TOMORROW!!! It's a good month with a paltry 10 books to discuss. Hey do you remember how the first episode was us discussing the first month of FTA and it was just 4 comic books? Good times. Cyclops takes a shot. Shwartschild takes a dive. Sabretooth haunts his ex's adopted daughter.

Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer, he's a demon on wheels. You might know Speed Racer from it's original animated form a chintzy but charming American translation of the original Japanese anime Mach GoGoGo. Maybe you're most familiar with the incredible, but divisive, Wachowski sisters film from 2008. We were lucky to sit down with friend of the show (and more importantly, author of the comic) David Pepose to discuss his first arc of Speed Racer, what we can expect from the second lap, and how he tackles some of the artistic challenges of creating a book based on such a beloved series.

Speed Racer (2025) is written by David Pepose with art by Davide Tinto 

If you haven't added Speed Racer to your pull list you have until February 9th to get issue 6--the start of Arc 2!

Our Generation X Marathon continues to the END of volume 1! Boy howdy is it different! The revolution 6 month gap sure does wreck this book, but not worse than Warren Ellis' edgy 00's nihilism. There is fun to be had though! A great big hug from Monet and Jubilee and we see Jono with his shirt off! Look, we know we're grasping at straws here, but this is how the book ends!

Generation X is created by Scott Lobdell and Chris Bachalo. 63-75 Written by Warren Ellis and Brian Wood with art by Steve Pugh with guest pencils by Alan Evans and
