Will Messiah Complex finally bring coherency back to the X-titles? We discuss it with a brief X-men history, along with Batman 670, Lord Havok & Countdown, Daredevil Annual 1, Death of the New Gods 2, Justice Society of America 10, and a few miscellanies.
It's a secret invasion of the About Heroes podcast! Is one of us a Skrull? Ben joins the regulars to help us figure it out. On this episode:

Alright, what the hell do you people think about this episode?
Feedback people!
Melanie was raunchier then usual, lol.
I thought it was a good episode. Informative and funny as always. The sound levels are near perfect and glad to hear Melanie put her input in more often.
Ok, ok, I'm giving feed back.
I thought the conversation about Dumbledore turned out great! Dan, you have once again proven yourself to be a very articulate individual. You summed up how I feel about it alot better than I could have. I agree, but it's going to be very hard to not think of him as gay if and when I re-read the books. I really think she shouldn't have said it or just pute it in the book. We might see it in print up front, though, because she wants to write a "Harry Potter Encyclopedia".
Melanie, I really liked what you said about knowing your characters inside and out and how that shows Rowling as a good writer. That's a good point on writing in general and I'm definatly going to keep that in mind. Why couldn't you have been my English teacher back in 9'th grade?! Mine sucked, always taking away kid's cell phones and not letting me bring bottled water to class. Anyway...
Still need to pick up Messiah Complex (don't know how to make a red "X"), but good review as always.
It's always neat to see how many of these comic conversations get turned into sex jokes. I went back a few weeks ago and heard a few of the old old podcasts and Chris does have a crush on Grant Morrison it seems. Even his horrible X-men run Chris would argue for. That's like the love that Spider-ben shows for Bendis. Neither one of those two I particularly enjoy so I'm with Dan and Omar in saying that Geoff Johns is a master of comic writing, because he does love and know the characters.
Great episode and can't wait for the next interview. Jeff, who are we going to hear from next?
Just to set the record straight raymond, I do love morrison, bendis, and Johns, for that matter, morrison, and bendis have had misses imo and I agree with my compatriots Johns still hs done no wrong.
