    Thanks for all the AvX coverage on the podcast. Hopefully Mike can share his thoughts as well on the end for the grand finally for 11 & 12.

    A quick question: Are you guys going to review the new Marvel Now! titles something similar to the new52? Yes I know alot of the Marvel Now! titles are $3.99 but maybe between the 4 of you (Jamie D. Pants, Murd & Mike) that you all could share show copies & try out a series at the 1 month mark, then 6 months then at 12 months & report back. I liked this or not that didn't grab me as a public service for all the geeks out there. Also I am not saying stick w/ a $3.99 for 6 months if you don't like it then by all means drop it like a bad date (or an overcooked steak). Just stick w/ the ones you are interested in.

    Thanks again for all that you guys do.

    I love it when yall review these big event books. I don't read any of them. So I use yall's reviews to let me know if I might be interested in getting the trades when they come out.

    Not that I'm advising anyone shoplift but you can get all your comic books on line by torrent. This doesn't mean you shout not buy the comics but it lets you know if they are worth buying.

    Don't worry, I wasn't taking offense. I was just joking that neither Shane or I have to worry about spending the cash on those books.

    Truthfully, after reading almost all of the DCnU books in the original run, I don't know if I could handle doing that experiment again.

    haven't listened to any of the episodes, but i borrowed a friend's copy so i'm caught up on the series...and i find that i didn't like it the more i read it.

    they say this series is a buildup of years worth of stories? yeah, all that buildup with cyclops' character especially and now he's gonna be shunted off to the sides. and with the solicitations featuring the all new xmen, their younger selves coming to this future? kinda reminds me of when Marvel had the teen Iron Man.

    not very excited for Marvel NOW!

    Liked the episode but missed Mike's X-Men side of things (even if I am anti-mutie) Please delay production for the final episode for everyone that can chime in on this event.

    And that Illuminati issue goes back in time, lot of AvX is bouncing around. You'd think Marvel could put everything out the way it's suppose to be but that's just not the case.

    Couple of thoughts after reading 10. Chaos Fist reminded me of the Gundam that my kids like so much. Perhaps next issue Hope can hit Cyclops with a Shining Finger. I wish artists would leave out Cyclops thong detail when they draw him all on fire.

    Ideally, episodes are recorded with the person who has a speciality present (most Batman related episodes are recorded with either Shane or me present.)

    In some cases, the person with the speciality (in this case Mike) has an unforeseen event that makes him unavailable for the episode. With something that's time sensitive (such as this) you can't always postpone the recording.

    It's great to hear from everyone on these episodes, but some times that doesn't work. There's plans to do the final ep with Mike, but if he's unavailable (or if Mr Jamie "Avengers" D isn't available) we can't really postpone the recording an extra week.

    We first learn of Illyana's plan of bringing a piece of Limbo as a prison in X-Men Legacy #270.
