With the new season of Game of Thrones starting this Sunday, we figured it would be a good idea give our thoughts on what we expect and hope for in this coming season. These guesses will be brought back up in the season recap to see how we did.

Since Spider-man Homecoming comes out this week, we thought it would be a good idea to focus on a Spider-man story from the comics. So Casey, the friendly, neighborhood Spider-man expert is here to tell Jacob and J. R. the wonderful tale of The Clone Saga. Find out why there are so many clones running around. Are there too many clones? Does it become to saga-y?

Will they find happiness on Muir Island, or just a crazy mutant? Find out what in world is happening with Jean Grey. All that and possibly the Wendigo is ahead.

It's time to talk about good X-men stories. That's why Jacob and Casey join us this week to discuss Chris Claremont and John Byrne's run on Uncanny X-men. The discussion ran pretty long, so we are breaking it up into two parts. This is part 1 of the discussion. Part 2 will be up in a couple days.

In this episode we take a look at John Byrne's The Man of Steel mini-series. This mini-series, was DC Comics' effort to reboot and simplify Superman after the Multiverse condensing story, Crisis on Infinite Earths, and stood as the cornerstone of Superman stories for almost 20 years. Also, this week's "Better Know an X-Man" features Xorn 2.
