Homo Superior Podcast

The boys start their spooky October talking about the many ways Sony wants to make a bad sequel Spiderman film; Disney + announced its new lead for Ms. Marvel and a Nick Fury show; The Boys is going to get a college spinoff; they play a Pitch Game and then Clarke has a Shang Chi Two Truths and a Lie Game; and the issues: Shang Chi #1 and Giant Sized X-Men Tribute #1. Get frightened, fools.

The boys hang with Evil Jeff from Comic Book Queers to talk about the second chapter in the X of Swords storyline: X-Factor #4. They try to figure out who is the worst parent, Evil Jeff tries to defend recent X-Factor issues, and they all try to guess the subtext of Rictor and Apocalypse's relationship.

They boys talk about the MCU's big movie moves into 2021; WandaVision and Helstrom get their first trailers; John Cena will be getting a spinoff show on HBO Max; Dark Crystal won't be getting a season 2; DC Universe is about to get infinite by limiting itself; and there are the issues: Juggernaut #1, Venom #28, Death Metal: Speed Metal #1, and DCeased #10. They act like real businesspeople in this one.

The boys kick off the first issue of their Crossing Swords podcast series with co-host of the podcast House of X, Dylan! They review Chapter 1: X of Swords: Creation #1 and things get very gay, very quickly.

Check out our regular issue on Monday with Issue 157.5!

Five podcasts cross 10 swords! House of X, the Podcast that Goes Snikt, Comic Book Queers, X Reads Podcast, and HomoSuperior kick off X of Swords, a crossover that's going to last three months and 22 chapters. They talk about their favorite and least favorite X-Men crossovers over the years, not to mention their favorite current x-books (and their least favorite too!). They recap the two prelude chapters: Excalibur #12 and X-Men #12, speculate on the plot of the x-over, and try to decide on a mascot for X of Swords (Swordy? Stabitha?).

The boys demand Marvel produce an accurate list of Bisexual characters, take to the far reaches of a galaxy far, far away with the Mandalorian Season 2 Trailer, talk hot Marvel TV and MCU casting news, dream of dating M.O.D.O.K.; play everyone's favorite "This might be stupid...", and review the issues: Hellions #4, Giant-Sized Storm, X-men: Marvels one shot Cyclops, Thor #7, Excalibur #12, X-Men #12

The boys review the new Dune (2020? 2021? film) trailer; talked about some of Disney's deeply ethically questionable behavior in China; discuss the cancellations of the Venture Brothers and the Walking Dead; and review the issues: Marauders #12, X-Factor #12, X-Force# 3, Empyre: Aftermath Avengers #1, Empyre: Fallout Fantastic Four #1, Web of Venom: Wraith #1, and DC: Death Metal Trinity Crisis #1. Adam brings up Venture Time business he has no business bringing up.

The boys puzzle over Akon's announcement for a futuristic city in Senegal; they try to come up with new names for the Arrowverse; Start Trek gets inclusionary; Sony tries to be a big boy production studio; Robert Pattison got sick; Clarke tries to review New Mutants; they play Alright, This Might be Stupid; answer a listener question; and talk about the issues: Cable #4, New Mutants #12, Wolverine #5, Empyre #6, GotG #6, and DCeased: Dead Planet #3. Clarke explains the appeal of drive-in movie theatres and Brent experiences an inopportune internet outage.

The boys (and returning guest Aaron Polkey) mourn the loss of Chadwick Boseman, talk about what he meant to them, and what his legacy might be.

The boys discuss even further troubles for New Mutants (2020 film) created by both by the director and studio; the Powerpuff Girls are getting a live action tv show; The Batman (upcoming film), Wonder Woman 1984 (2020 film), Gotham Knights (upcoming game), and Suicide Squad (2022 game) all have brand new trailers; Adam has a Suicide Squad game; and the issues: Hellions #3, DCeased: Hope at World's End #8, X-Factor #2, and X-men Empyre #8. It's a super DC week and our resident DC expert is out of DC and doesn't get to say anything about it. Bet he didn't D-see that coming.
