Join us for a casual discussion about many of the various comics we've been able to read during these quarantine times. Over the years, we've accumulated comics at a faster rate than we've been consuming them, but in these past eight months, we've been making a dent in our unread piles. This episode is just the tip of the iceberg regarding all of the comics we've read this year. Feel free to comment, or email us at betweenthegutterspodcast@gmail.com!

In this episode, we tackle the question, "If you could give the House of X/Powers of X treatment to any franchise, what would you do?" It was a fun question to think and talk about, and we hope you enjoy listening to our musings. How would you answer the question?

Everybody's got story ideas that will go unmade, but that doesn't necessarily mean it ain't fun to talk about 'em! In this episode, we discuss a couple of ours. Our last two episodes were about X-Men and Spider-Man events, and this episode is about what we would do if we had carte blanche. First, we talk about our idea for the third Spider-Man MCU film, and then we share the official Between the Gutters unofficial X-Men event for the ages! What are your superhero dream stories?

Talking about X-Men crossovers and events last time around led to a side conversation about Spider-Man crossovers and events. That side conversation led to this episode, where we discuss the Spidey crossovers we appreciate, and a bunch of of the ones that didn't really work for us. We also tried to examine WHY it is that we had trouble being interested in so many Spidey-centric crossovers and events, when both of us have a lot of love for Spider-Man. All this, plus Albert not only does his 1920s Chicago gangster voice, but a Gambit impression! Feel free to comment, or email us at betweenthegutterspodcast@gmail.com!

After last week's Fandome episode, we got to thinking about how unexcited we were by all of the trailers and big announcements. But you know what does make us excited? Good comics. To wash away the bad taste of unimpressive trailers, we decided to discuss evergreen stories featuring some of the characters who have been rising up in pop culture thanks to movies, videogames, etc. First up? The Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman. Join us as we talk about what we mean by "evergreen," and as we discuss the Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman stories that will satisfy your soul.

It's a conscious decision that we rarely record episodes about whatever is trending on social media or the news. (Heck, even this episode is dropping a week after the fact.)

Before we recorded the next episode in our recommendations series with Zach and Sheynis, Albert had us all watch a YouTube video by a prominent omnibus collector.
