Because Comics

Jay and Mike suggest you check out "Beasts of Burden" and the new "Punisher" series. Then, in honor of the new film "X-Men: Apocalypse," we flash back to the Big Bad's first major appearance, in the original "X-Factor" comics! Finally, we play "Would You Rather," and Jay vastly underestimates the inherent coolness of a character from "Captain America: Civil War."    Pull List:  Jay: “Beasts of Burden: What the Cat Dragged In" (Dark Horse) written by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, art by Jill Thompson.  Mike: “The Punisher" (Marvel) written by Becky Cloonan, art by Steve Dillon.    Main Segment:  "X-Factor" #24-25 - "The Fall of the Mutants" tie-in, aka "Judgement Day!" (Marvel) written by Louise Simonson, pencils by Walt Simonson, inks by Bob Wiacek.    Game: "Would You Rather... be Black Panther in Wakanda for a day, or be Spider-Man in Queens for a day?"      Listen to full episodes at PartialArc.com  Email us at becausecomics@gmail.com, and find us on Twitter at @partialarc  Read Mike's columns every Tuesday
