Here are the next batch of X-Men Gold Twitter reviews I did.

I think one more collection of posts should fill out the rest of the issues, plus two annuals

Here are the next batch of my reviews of X-Men Gold, Issues 11 through 17.

Plus, X-Men Blue 13, 14, and 15.

I had thought, because of the era of the title, there were going to be more crossovers, but Mojo Worldwide was the only crossover.

No tie ins or anything, which is pretty impressive.

S&FwM The Podcast : First Anniversary

I can’t believe I’ve been podcasting for an entire year!

Spotify :

Apple Podcast :

Episode 77 went up on Tuesday, and I’m preparing to record Episode 78 – Excalibur Volume One Issue 7 tonight, as I continue my Inferno read through.

So if I was a purely weekly podcast, I would be only on episode 52, so that’s 26 bonus episodes in this first year.

Possibly too much? Maybe, but I just love doing it, and I feel like I’m getting a tad better at it, so that feels good.

But what feels really great is all of the people who have been listening, and sending encouraging comments, and rating the podcast.

I really couldn’t do it without all of the support, so thank you!

. . .

Looking at the first 77 episodes, I covered a lot of material!
