    The thing about Joe Casey is that he figured out how to make actual money so he can just make comics for fun. Would that all of comics be this lucky.

    Cormac McCarthy was quoted writing All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes. But he didn't use quotation marks because he wants to be difficult.

    Man that song sucks, I'm listening to it right now. Possibly this is the only time I've deliberately listened to Kokomo. This is what happens when you get into a fight with Brian Wilson.

    There's a new Spider-Man and we are an X-Men podcast, therefore we are doing an episode about all the cameo's in Spider-Man and how they relate to X-Men. Sometimes when I write this copy I put a lot of effort into it, this is not that time.

    • Amazing Spider-Man #282
    • World War Hulk: X-Men #1-3
