EXPLOSIONS! POUCHES! LOUD NOISES! It's time to get EXTREME!!! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:52:54 EXTREME! Today's episode is so ridiculously off the chain. There are also lots of actual chains.  We tell a bunch of  EXTREME stories. It gets BRUTAL. This isn't your  DAD'S episode! Really, buckle in, kids - things are about to get  WICKED SICK . In the first ten minutes of the episode, we knock out one of...

How do the heroes and villains do what they do?! Let's dig into that! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:24:26 We start off with an overview section that's based on the character creation system from the upcoming Sentinel Comics RPG! We go through each of the "Power Sources" from that system and talk about how they relate to the rest of Sentinel Comics.  Around 30 minutes in, we get to your questions, which...

A story of the Dawn! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:18 We get deep into a major story from the history of Sentinel Comics Right off the bat - after only a few minutes of tomfoolery - we kick off this whole event with the story of Freedom Five #595. Then, we dig into each and every issue of Freedom Five and the also the weekly limited series that are all part of the Sunrise event. Around an hour and 15...

A world where the heroes are villains and the villains are heroes! Wacky! But then, these foes don't look so much "wacky" as they do "actually really evil"... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:37 We get right into it, which is good, because we have a lot to cover today! In the 3rd minute of the podcast, Adam claims that by 1988, the movie The Land Before Time had been released some time ago. Turns out, i...

We create something without any preparation! Will we make a hero? A villain? An environment? Something else entirely? We don't know yet! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:26 We recorded this episode live with the help of our Patreon Contributors! The episode is much better than the live recording, as Trevor has cleaned up the audio and also cut a bunch of dead time when we were just reading the chat and...

Delving back into Disparation stories! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:15:06 Who are these people? Where do they come from? What is their story? Listen on to find out! After a few minutes of goofs and introductions, we get into the actual content of Disparation, Vol. 1, Issue 24 ! Just before the 38 minute mark, we get to your questions! This Friday, we'll be recording our "Behind the Scenes" episode, whi...

"Il Alimento" Episode #192 Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:30 Our fourth annual Pasta episode. Chef Adam and Chef Christopher discuss pasta sauces, vegetables in pasta, and address the gnocchi controversy. They also answer questions from Il Alimento subscribers, and even read a few celebrity chef letters. Eat well, my friends. "Under The Sun of Italy" by Rossano Gentili Various Spanish Guitar Riffs by...

We're back to the very beginning! Revisiting the Legacy story from our very first episode. (This art is the pencils Adam did in 2010 for Legacy which were then scanned in and inked and colored to make Legacy's first character card art! Adam will probably hate that I used this art, but it's good to see your roots.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:45 We start off by talking about the weirdness that is th...

Another live-recorded Editor's Note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:09:14 I'd recommend listening to the podcast over watching the video, as the audio quality is MUCH better, and Trevor does a great job with editing and producing. But here's the video! Upcoming Schedule: Tuesday, May 1st: Legacy Supplemental Thursday, May 3rd: Food Extrasode Tuesday, May 8th: Disparation: Freedom Five Tuesday, May 15th:...

A whole book of creepy crawlies and the evil that lurks in the darkness! (No, not the book in that picture. A different book.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:46:28 Lots of fun stories and mythology in this one! We start off with where this book shows up in the history of Sentinel Comics. Pretty quickly, we get to your questions! Just after 6 minutes in, we're already going into the Questions segment, and...

Let's get animated! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:29:40 There is a lot of stuff in this episode! The first season of the SCAU (Sentinel Comics Animated Universe) is made up of 26 episodes and a movie, and we get into ALL of that! We talk about the episodes for over an hour, going pretty in-depth on many of them. At around an hour and 28 minutes, we start in on the movie. Then, at the one hour and 51 min...

The dread scion! It only exists to exercise the will of OblivAeon! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:24 We start off with an overview of when and how Progeny first showed up in the pages of Sentinel Comics, starting with the Freedom Five book. Just before the 18 minute mark, we briefly get back into the debate of "does Progeny's head blasting off into space look cool." Spoilers: there is no real resoluti...

The first ever Extrasode!  Show Notes: Run Time: 2:14:54 These were intended to be for Patreon supporters only, but we polled them, and they voted overwhelmingly in favor of making them available to all Letters Page listeners! That said, we did record it live with interactions from our Contributors, and then shortly after recording it, we posted this video for Patreon backers, so they got it first...

We're talking about these so familiar and yet so different heroes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:26 Welcome to April, and a whole new format! The next 3 months will feature different types of episodes than what you're used to, but they're going to be great! Interested in having input in what we talk about? Check out our Patreon ! That's the best way to get involved in what we're doing here with the L...

Our first ever live recorded Editor's Note! Here's the video ! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:07:42 OK, first thing first: the video quality is AWFUL. But! We're working with Trevor to make it better in the future! As we mention in the first few minutes, we didn't yet know the upcoming schedule when we recorded, but since then, the voting has concluded! Here is the final tabulation of all three polls com...

One of the most terrible villains of the Multiverse is here! Tremble before Grand Warlord Voss, Earthlings! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:13:34 We get right into it by talking about the first appearances of Thorathians in the history of Sentinel Comics. Then, we jump to the 60s to introduce Grand Warlord Voss himself! After that, the next divergence is talking about space stuff - the space race, space e...

A team that is sometimes extreme, but is always awesome. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:54:19 Our Patreon is running smoothly already, thanks to so many of you! As a result, this week, we'll be recording our upcoming Editor's Note LIVE for those of you at our Contributor level. Afterwards, the video will be posted for our supporters over on the Patreon.  Anyway! Prime Wardens! We start off by digging int...

The long-awaited episode for one of the first heroes from Sentinel Comics! Show Notes: Run Time: 3:29:10 Our longest episode yet! It is astounding to me that an episode about one character ended up longer than our previous longest episode, the Southwest Sentinels/Void Guard episode, about 4 characters who make up two teams with major changes in there. But, then again, hardly surprising that Tempes...

One way or another, all of these environments house some great power... let's talk about them! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:54 We dig into the last of the environments - they only sort of go together in this episode, but they're all important parts of Sentinel Comics! Insula Primalis Ruins of Atlantis Magmaria Fort Adamant Omnitron IV Lots of cool story bits for each of those places! Next week is th...

One of the most important heroes of Sentinel Comics is also one of its most terrible villains. Today, we cover the Fall of Legacy. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:50:40 In the first few minutes - after a bit of nonsensical side-tracking - we get right into the appearances of Iron Legacy in the history of Sentinel Comics. With that, we also tell some of the historical elements of the Young Legacy story, as...

Lots of Fake News in this episode. Where is it all coming from? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:42:15 Let's go back to the 50s! This episode starts with story from very early on, and then works its way up through the end, slowly but surely. After fifteenish minutes of establishing backstory and world stuff and some goofs, we get into the villainous stuff. Then, we spend a bunch of time in the aughts! I do...

Parse has keen arrows, but a far more keen eye! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:53 We don't spend any time dillying or dallying in this episode! In fact, this may be most "content per minute" episode we've ever done - just jam-packed with the story of Parse through the years of Sentinel Comics! We start off in the 80s, including a bunch of information on how various titles are being treated then, layin...

The most settings ever covered in one episode! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:11:34 This episode is all about the weird and magical environments from the world of Sentinel Comics! Madame Mittermeier's Fantastical Festival of Conundrums and Curiousities Tomb of Anubis Realm of Discord Nexus of the Void Temple of Zhu Long An important note:  There are a few spoilers in this episode for the story of the iss...
