The Letters Page

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!

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...

She's a smoooooth operator! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:12:59 New intro on today's episode! Trevor's trying out something different! What do you think? Tweet at us and let us know: @SCLettersPage After some light silliness, we get right into her not-very-light backstory.  We reference two other episodes a few times in this episode: the Mister Fixer episode , and The Chairman episode . They're both imp...

All of the wibbly-wobbly places! Times? Both! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:01:25 In this episode, we cover the particularly time-travel related environments from the world of Sentinel Comics: Silver Gulch The Final Wasteland Time Cataclysm Outside Time For each of those locations (times?!), we first give an overview, and then use your questions to dig deeper into the stories of that setting. Next week,...

You didn't even know that you wanted an episode on an intergalactic bounty hunter, and yet, here we are! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:43 In the first five minutes, we devolve into roleplaying as our own characters, so that sets the tone for this entire episode. You're welcome?

An episode that towers head and shoulders above all others! Or does it stand as an ant among giants? Only you can tell! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:17 We start off by confessing our sins and solving a notable problem... or at least hinting to that problem's solution. But that allows us to move forward with Portja Kip-Pro's story! (Which we start by pointing out a problem raised by the Kaargra Warfa...

Happy New Year! Starting off this new year with a quick 2017 retrospective! First thing first, we're pushing the schedule we announced last week back by one week in order to take a chunk of time to reset and reconcile all of the tangled webs we have weaved. Woven. Woved.  Anyway! The upcoming schedule now looks like this! January 9th: Sky-Scraper January 16th: Greazer January 23rd: Time Travel Set...

To celebrate Boxing Day, let's talk about the fighters in the cosmic arena! (Yes, yes, we know that Boxing Day has nothing to do with the pugilistic sport of boxing.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:07:06 After only a couple minutes of jawing about the holidays, your intrepid hosts get right into the history of the Bloodsworn Colosseum in the pages of Sentinel Comics. Around the twelve minute mark, we fin...

Show Notes: Run Time: 1:45:33 In today's episode, we cover a few notable Cosmic Settings: Wagner Mars Base Dok'Thorath Celestial Tribunal The Enclave of the Endlings With only going over four environments in this episode, we have enough time to really get into each of them. We go through them in the above order, answering your gr...

A Contest of Cosmic proportions! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:46:41 Whole lotta story going on today! Who will win? Only time will tell! I mean, actually, we're gonna tell you. In this episode.
