Summary

CONTENT NOTE: Episode 113 contains fairly extensive discussions of fictional violence, including gun violence. If you don’t want to listen to that right now, that is absolutely okay. If you want to listen to it later, it’ll still be here. And if you never want to listen to it, that is absolutely okay, too.

We were on the fence about whether to post this episode today. We ultimately decided to go ahead, for two reasons:

There’s value in routine in the face of tragedy.

There are times when continuing to exist visibly and publicly is itself an act of defiance.

Love and solidarity to everyone who’s grieving right now, and especially to our Florida friends and family, and to fellow members of the queer community.

-Jay & Miles

In which Wolverine gets an ongoing series; the constitution of Madripoor is probably just a list of pulp noir genre conventions; Tyger Tiger is a kinder, gentler crimelord; Jessica Drew gets possessed a lot; the Silver Samurai and Lindsay McCabe are our dream team; Joe Fixit is a font of endless delight; and someone should probably sit Wolverine down and explain how disguises work.

0:00.0	This isn't actually part of episode 113, and I'm recording it on my laptop mic, so sorry for the sound.
0:07.0	We were really on the fence about whether to release this episode today, largely because 113 covers the incredibly violent start of the incredibly

1:09.4	The usual.
1:10.4	Wait, swords?
1:11.4	Like plural? Well, sure. One a cursed sword isn't going to pay the rent, man.
1:15.6	How many are there? Marvel, just the two that I know of.
1:18.6	What's the difference? Well, there's the Black Blade and there's Wolverine's sword.
