X-Factor Files: Investigating the Marvel Universe- Alpha Flight, Marvel's Star Trek, and Quasar!

We had a blast at The Uncanny Experience and chat about what we really loved about everything!

Time for us to check in our Defenders team and see how they're doing! Daryl is joined by Jason from the Avenging Hour to talk all about what's going on and how things are heating up for the team!

Mac is still dead and now the team reacts to it. Plus- a lake monster! These two issues are so, so good.

Dr. Pulaski is back! But also, we see chemical warfare up close and personal and it's gross. Nothing like a highly contagious disease to really bring the mood down, eh? But our crew does it with great skill and aplomb!

We pick up with the team where we left off- greatly reduced in numbers and with various complications in their lives. However, we got some honeymoon action in the middle and an actual Confederate general getting murdered, so it can't be all bad, right?

What, you thought we would never actually finish the 1993 season? Well, folks, we are one step closer- as D'Manda Martini joins us to talk all about Excalibur's annual from 1993. Will Khaos reign or will he get the boot?

The unquestioned ruler of the current Marvel 2099 realm, Steve Orlando, stops by to chat about the first three issues of X-Men 2099 with us! Also, we touch on ewoks, beefy wrestlers, and all the upcoming greatness Steve has coming out!

This is it- the end of the beginning! A HUGE change happens to the team and we set up the next era of Alpha Flight with these two important issues!

Chad from Graymalkin Lane swings by to chat about Defenders 93, which sees Namor and Atlantis try, once again, to conquer the surface world. Does it work out this time? Guess you'll have to tune in to find out!

Holy wow, there's a lot of character development packed into these five issues. Billed as five days that will change the team forever...but we don't know if we quite agree.

We're onto our next Marvel Star Trek title with issues 1 and 2! Come along as we explore the edges of the Alpha Quadrant and see the whole station transported to the Gamma Quadrant!

Ready for a Sasquatchin' good time?!?! Let me hear your Aurora! Okay, now that the bad puns are out of the way, join us for two new issues of Alpha Flight! We get to see Jeanne-Marie's backstory and finally get some time with Walter Langkowski, too!

We get a little bit of focus on a lot of characters in these four issues of X-Factor, including some fun character development for a few of them! We see how messed up Layla's vision of the future is, as well as Banshee's battle with someone who will definitely be back in her future...

We end our coverage of Star Trek Unlimited (for now) with a celebration worthy of Pride (and every) month! We are joined by our friends, collectively known as the Star Trek Gays, to review the last issue of Star Trek Unlimited!

record scratch We're going off format today as Daryl introduces a semi-regular episode concept to talk all about the Defenders, one issue at a time! But why start with issue #1 when you can start with issue #92, which is the start of J.M. DeMatteis' incredibly fun run on the book! For this episode, Daryl is joined by Mr. Scott Free to talk about Defenders and DeMatteis. We also touch on the recent...

We get the great combo of a Northstar and Aurora main story with Snowbird's origins in these two issues. Ready to meet Northstar's daddy?

What happens when one of the most dynamic characters from Asgard chooses to mess with Midgard? You're about to find out as Sara Century walks us through three issues starring the wonderful Amora! Listen along as we chat about Journey into Mystery 103, Avengers 83, Dazzler 1, and as a bonus- we touch on Defenders 4!

We have a very special episode with Stephanie Williams, the phenomenal comic talent who has her first Trek story published in the Pride special put out by IDW! Stephanie talks about her love of Trek, some of her favorite characters, and teases her story in the anthology one shot out in comic stores right now!

The penultimate (sort of) episode covering the Star Trek Unlimited title, and it's a whole bunch of Klingon stories! More Klingons than you can shake a bat'leth at! So grab some gagh and come chill with us.

You ready for some X-Factor action? We get the aftermath of Madrox coming back to life as well as the consequences of being a grassroots superhero in Seattle. Ready for things to remain weird?

We get two great stories this week- one focusing on Puck, the other on Snowbird. The bonus? Our back-up stories give us the origins of Shaman! Come learn a little about all three in this episode as we review Alpha Flight issues 5 and 6.

Jason from The Avenging Hour pops on to talk to use about Machine Man and showcase three appearances that show us how the character evolved over the years. For this episode, we read Machine Man #19, Nextwave #1, and Tony Stark: Iron Man #3.

Two fresh issues of Star Trek Unlimited to cover in this episode! Yes, we skipped one. Why? Guess you'll have to listen to find out!

We swung by C2E2 this past weekend in Chicago and chat all about what we did! Who did we meet? What did we see? Tune in as we look back on a fantastic con!

Madrox dies and just keeps dying over and over. What's up with that? We take a dive into it and find a whole bunch of alternate universes and alternate dupe powers!
