Let's get out of the mouth! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:54:12 It took us a while to get to this one AND THEN we couldn't really stop talking about Star Wars. Sorry about that. Or, you're welcome? Hard to say. Then we finally get into it! And we tell a few stories! From a few issues. Actually, there are a lot of ISSUES, though only three comic book issues. It's a pun. Don't worry about it. Plenty of ot...

Close your eyes and let your music set you free... only then can you belong to me! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:32:31 We learn a lot about this story in the telling... and we love it! We hope you do, too! We've already recorded next week's episode (which is the Dark Watch Mr. Jitters story), but we'll cover any follow-up questions from that one in a few weeks, as per usual. So, listen, enjoy, and let u...

A classic Prime Wardens tale featuring a classic Prime Wardens villain in a classic Prime Wardens location! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:54:48 We recorded this one a bit early (and, spoilers, we also recorded the next episode a bit early!) but don't let that fool you — we definitely know everything going on in this story! Or, at least, now we do. You'll get to hear us figure it all out on the air! Ques...

It's time for us to be oh so wrong about science! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:55:41 Who am I kidding? We're almost always wrong about science! But this episode proves it! But first, an upcoming schedule: Tuesday, October 6th: Episode #331 - Writers' Room: The Argent Adept vs The Phantom of the Opera Tuesday, October 13th: Episode #332 - Writers' Room: A Mr. Jitters DarkWatch story Tuesday, October 20t...

Never trust a crocodile smile! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:09 Come hear a tale! A tale of Chester Beech! We craft much of it on the air, even! But not all of it! You'll just have to listen and find out! Next week is the time of a LIVE Editor's Note, but this one will be happening in an ancient and historic time of Friday midday, rather than Thursday evening. Just this once! Tune in, if you can! If...

Gotta go back in time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:50:47 We came in with barely a plan at all on this one, and then everything still changed... and yet! Somehow! We prevailed! What a tale. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Lots of interesting tidbits in this one, both on purpose and entirely accidental. And then answers? To your questions?! You'd better believe it. Join us next week for Episode #...

It's our first Creative Process in quite some time!  Show Notes:   Run Time: 2:05:14 I was all set to read two long-form bios today... but it turns out, that's insufficient. So, buckle up! We've got a lot to get through today.  How did you feel about the bio reading format? It's not a thing we're liking to do a LOT of, but it could certainly come up again, now that I've had so much writing time. ...

Let's get sneaky! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:56:47 We thought knew a lot about this story going into it, but clearly not as much as we thought! Listen as we discover what we don't know, fill in the gaps, and come up with a story that we're quite proud of by the end.  We've got a lot of cool episodes coming up, so be sure to get your questions in early and often! Send them here !  And, as always, keep...

The overly-ambitious attempt at a Tango-sode! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:09:03 So, Tango began a relisten a couple years ago, and wrote in some great letters along the way, and we attempt to get through all of them this Editor's Note. But first, an upcoming schedule! Tuesday, September 1st: Episode #327 - Creative Process: Recently Made Heroes from the Interim Tuesday, September 8th: Episode #328 - W...

We had a fantastic time at Gen Con this year! And so many of you were a big part of it! This year's Letters Page Live was a delightful and frankly much-needed return to normal, but with QUITE the turn out! We more than filled the notable space that Gen Con provided for us for our podcasting needs, and you all more than filled the time with fantastic questions!  Right off the bat, we were challenge...

It was really great getting to see so many of you at Gen Con this year. You're the best, and we're incredibly honored to have you all as listeners, as fans, and as an important part of the extended Sentinels family. We had a very truthy Gen Con 2026 Live show, and we look forward to you being able to hear it in episode form next week! Until then, Adam and I are going to pass the heck out for a few...

Wipeout AND Deadline?! How did this happen? When did this happen?! WHAT HAPPENED?!?! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:47:16 We had a great time in the Writers' Room with this one, building a brand-new issue of Justice Comics #675 completely on the air! What starts as a straight-up showdown between Wipeout and Deadline rapidly spirals into territory neither of us anticipated... except for the mall. To be en...

The last live show before the next live show, which is next week! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:05:58 This Editor's Note was recorded live last Thursday, July 16th, 2026, and the audience was great! Always a delight to hear from everyone and get to answer your questions in real time. Gen Con is next week, and you can hear it in our voices! We're looking forward to it, though it will undoubtedly be a hec...

From Prince to Scion? What a terrible road! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:08:37 We tell you a story, create a character, tell more story, and make up and/or reveal more details! And then, following the standard pattern, we read and answer your letters! This Thursday we'll be recording the upcoming Editor's Note episode live on Thursday evening at 6 PM, Central time! If you're on The Letters Page Patreon...

A story from the Void Guard book?! About time. Show Notes: Run Time: 2:08:28 It's odd to see a book change genre in the very third issue. How did this happen? What happened in issues #1 and #2? What happens after this story?  While I cannot promise complete satisfaction on all of those fronts, rest assured that this episode at least touches on all of that! And more! And introduces a villainous for...

What's with all the princesses?! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:14:06 We have not figured out how to keep these episodes under two hours. That (and the fact that June had 5 Tuesdays) has jumped us up a tier in monthly hosting costs. We pay for our long-winded crimes! But, that just means we have to keep putting out Top Content for you! And we pledge to do our best! Join us for a silly romp through a coup...

We're live again! Against all odds! Can you believe it?! Show Notes:   Run Time: 2:27:35 That's right, this is a long one. And that's after Trevor edited out all our extraneous nonsense! (Don't worry; he left plenty of nonsense in.) But, yeah, we were recording for over 3 hours.  We're recording on Thursday evenings now, so hopefully you can join us for live shows more often! Speaking of schedules...

The title of this episode is misleading... Show Notes: Run Time: 2: That's right, another 2+ hour episode, but we actually cover a LOT of material in that time! I promise.  We start off with some goofs, then some discussion of the method of upcoming episodes, and then we finally get into it! Re: the teaser line at the very top of this episode description, it's true that the title is leaving someth...

Who is going to space?! Run Time: 2:18:24 We crafted twice, told once for this one! We planned out the majority of this story before recording... and yet, we still crafted quite a bit of lore on the air, in a variety of ways that surprised even us! We tell the full arc of this story, and more! We just keep making things up? Clearly, we missed doing this. Next week's episode is all about the Rise o...

Time for a speedy story! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:15:49 I'll tell you, I'm not sure how it is that last week's episode ended up under 90 minutes and this one took over two hours, but here we are! We go into the publication history of Friction a bit, dig into a few of her other stories, and then start crafting this one, a brand new tale that we create entirely on the air! Oh, and because I know Walk...

Are you ready for the New Standard? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:36 We're back at it, and oh so happy to be here! After last week's long-awaited return to voting, we're excited to announce an upcoming schedule! For the first time in over a year!  Tuesday, June 2nd: Episode #319 - Writers' Room: A non-Vengeance Friction story Tuesday, June 9th: Episode #320 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales: An intense s...

A triumphant return! But is it ever that easy? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:56:53 So much to cover! We're back, we're excited, and we have so many things to share with you! We're working on more game content, more Sentinels stories, and a whole Multiverse to get spun back up on! Adam and I have not been idle, and we can't wait to give you more Multiverse to save and to savor as soon as we can. Greater...

A simple episode... about machines? Sort of? Show Notes: Run Time: 2:03:55 We dig into the past of the Order of the Simple Machine, both in comics and in our creative process. We reveal things we've never before said publicly! And then we make up new stuff, too! Join us next week for a live show! We love it when people ask questions live! Genuinely!

Let's Bust some Bunks! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:08:17 Oh no, another long one! Well, at least you get a number of villains out of it! And a couple issues! And a bunch of letters answered! So, pretty usual fare.  This story certainly didn't land at the time as the writer hoped it would, and would be remembered largely for the big robot suit fights. But hopefully you enjoyed the story! That's certain...

But just who are the April Fools, anyway? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:28 We (and just who is we are in unclear) do some goofs, tell some stories, and read your letters! It's just a totally normal episode!  Join us next week for more normal episode times, in which we record an episode about the Bunker Busters!
