Episode 218: Krakoa Post-Mortem

Leave a comment

A new era of X-Men is upon us! And in order to get there, we must put the Krakoa era firmly to bed. Ian, Brent, Brandon and Raph are joined by a resident X-pert, Corwin Crowl of Earth’s Mightiest Podcast and its sister podcast EMX, to explain as much of this long-running storyline as we can, including what Krakoa is, how many different Krakoas there were, and what it eventually became. Did it conclude the way we wanted, and are we anticipating what’s to come? How many Beasts are there? Did Xavier ever take off the helmet, even to shower? Listen in and find out, bub. Spoilers ahoy, especially for X-Men #700, so be warned!

A very special episode of Comic Timing Extra Point is here! This is an interview that was conducted with the talented and well-versed artist Jim Calafiore at this year’s Comic Geek Speak Super Show. You may know Jim from such works as Exiles, Deadpool, and Black Panther over at Marvel, as well as Secret Six, Gotham Underground, Batman, and the 2008 Batgirl: Redemption Road miniseries at DC. Now, Jim is working on completing the Kickstarter funded Leaving Megalopolis with Gail Simone, as well as his currently running Kickstarter project Crooks & Nannies, which has 5 days left on its campaign. Crooks & Nannies recently met its initial funding goal, but it could still use your support. So get on that!

Further Super Show episodes are to come, including our traditional room recording and the rest of the interviews conducted throughout Super Show weekend.
