Episode 78: She Will Rise Again

Your Hype hosts mark the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, and start reading the classic graphic novel Sandman together, starting with volume 1: Preludes and Nocturnes. Will also reads Wastelanders and Devil's Reign, while Steve reads Astonishing X-Men vol 2 and X-Men: True Friends.

Episode 77: So...

Steve helps Will celebrate his 1 year anniversary on Twitch by giving him a brand new complex. Will also reads Eternals vol 2: Hail Thanos and Silver Surfer Rebirth. Steve watches the X-Men get Shattered in the Shattering crossover (Uncanny X-Men vol 1 #372, X-Men vol 2 #92, and Gambit vol 3 #8-9) and Gambit Annual 1999.

Episode 76: This old thing? Just found it in the Mariana Trench, nbd

Will has a new choice for best anime of all time, and also read Shang-Chi vol 3: Family of Origin and the climactic cosmic crossover Last Annihilation! Steve enjoys X-Force vol 1 #94-97 and X-Force Annual 1999, and suffers through Mutant X #13-18 for your amusement, you sicko.

Episode 74: What’s beer?

(Lord it's hard not to be happy when you're not) reading comics! Will's got Strange Academy vol 3, where the mysteries start to entwine, and Fantastic Four by Dan Slott vol 10: The Reckoning War Part 1, where things start to absolutely pop off. Steve? Steve's got a lot of Cable. Cable vol 2 #71, Cable Annual 1999, and Cable & Wolverine: Guts & Glory.

Sorry for the numbering snafu: this is episode 74, and was recorded before the last episode we published, #75. I don't know, man.

Episode 75: Introducing Low-Level Karma Man

Our spectacular 75th episode, and we got to record in person! If you got to have any superpower, what would you choose? Also, Will reads an insane new take on Hulk in Hulk by Donny Cates vol 1: Smashtronaut!, a new chapter for Elektra in Daredevil: Woman Without Fear, and an Asgardian detour in Thor by Donny Cates vol 4: God of Hammers. Steve chokes his way through the Dawn of M-Tech Saga (Uncanny X-Men vol 1 #371, X-Men vol 2 #91, and X-Men Annual 1999), Wolverine vol 2 #141-144, and Incredible Hulk vol 3 #8. Apologies for the drop in audio quality toward the end — we decided to cut Steve's segment on Generation X due to the audio, and he'll summarize what you missed next time he reads that title!

Episode 73: Medium-Sized Reign of X Podcast #4

The best thing in in current-day Marvel continues. New titles Way of X and X-Corp kick off by rocking our feeble little bodies, while Cable reaches a satisfying conclusion for a perfectly adequate book in our reading for this episode, Reign of X vols 11 and 12.

Will returns from his cruise with theological concerns, and having read a giant heap of comics: Ghost Rider: Return of Blaze, Black Panther vol 1: The Long Shadow, Avengers Forever vol 1: The Lords of Earthly Vengeance, Captain America/Iron Man: The Armor and the Shield, Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond vol 4, Black Widow by Kelly Thompson vol 3: Die by the Blade, Miles Morales vol 7: Beyond, Hawkeye: Kate Bishop, Ms. Marvel: Beyond the Limit, X-Men Legends vol 2. Steve reads, uh, X-Man #51-55.

Episode 71: Journey to the 3rd through 8th Cosmoses

Episode 70: The future of the MCU, feat. Matthew Fox & Paul Hoppe of Superhero Ethics

We changed it up a bit this episode! No comics — instead, we brought in our good friends Matthew Fox and Paul Hoppe from the excellent podcast Superhero Ethics to chat about everyone's favorite Cinematic Universe (hint: it's the Marvel one). Where is it going from here? What are the problems? What are the opportunities? You're not gonna want to miss this one!
