Hype is my Superpower

In 1989, Grant Morrison took over Doom Patrol with a mission: to break the genre of superhero team books out of the ironclad grasp established by Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men. 12 years later, he took over those same X-Men. We invited our bud Dimitrios Fragiskatos — owner of Anyone Comics and Everyone Comics in NYC — back to the show to talk about his favorite comic book of all time.

Will also threw in Silver Surfer: Ghost Light, for good measure.

The Krakoa era is churning along to its inevitable conclusion — here's the last episode of the mini-era, Destiny of X! Also, Steve got a new cat!

Books covered: Wolverine vol 7 #30-32, X-Force vol 6 #39, Immortal X-Men #9-10, X-Men Red vol 2 #10, Legion of X #8-10, Deadpool vol 9 #6-9, and Rogue and Gambit vol 2 #4-5.

One is actually a fox.

Will read Hulk: Joe Fixit, Captain America: Cold War, Tiger Division, Monica Rambeau: Photon, and Moon Knight Vol 4: Road to Ruin. Steve read... nothing!

It's the end of the long '90s for Steve, as his reading finally closes out the 3rd era of X-Men comics, while Will tackles a gigantic backlog from winter break. Also, one of those rare graphic novels that makes you remember why you love comics!
