I do art and teach children, but not usually at the same time. X-Men is my fandom. He/him

That's great! Kieron did say in the back matter of today's issue that they need to see sales improve if they're going to take the book past issue 16 though

Every month I read this, and every month I get to the cliffhanger and go “fuuuuuuck!” In the best possible way. Cracking stuff.

Happy The Power Fantasy #12 day.
Cover of The Power Fantasy #12, where Etienne plays with toys.

Also, it's beginning its third arc, and if sales pick up they might be able to go past 16 issues. I'm having fun listening to you both, thanks!

@mojoversepod.bsky.social I'm still catching up on episodes, but I was thinking this morning that y'all might enjoy covering an arc of The Power Fantasy in a mini. It's an Image book, but there's a lot of X-Men pastiche in it.

This is a purely selfish thing, but #ThePowerFantasy is very good and more people should be reading it. I'd very much like it to go beyond 16 issues

Hey, if you like The Power Fantasy you should check out this zine! Also, I contributed some stuff, including a couple pieces of art and a very silly comic about sweaters and hell

I’m not doing this for October specifically, but I guess I’m doing this. #XMen #Forge #tarot
Digital painting of Forge of the X-Men as the Magician of the Rider Waite Tarot deck. Forge is a Cheyenne man with brown skin and long black hair tied back in a ponytail. He is wearing a loose blue robe over blue pajama pants. He stands facing the viewer with one arm extended over his head with a glowing orb floating above his palm and the other arm lowered pointing down at the ground. In front of him is a table with a silver gun sitting on a gold plate next to a gold cup, a glowing pink sword, and a wooden staff.

At this point, I don't expect ground shaking risks in the storytelling and concepts at play in this era's X-Books, but I do think this will be a fun event. #XSpoilers

Psylocke is obviously being slotted into the AoA Cyclops role of being the principled soldier who learns the truth of what's happening and ends up joining the rebellion. Good for her! Also, why does Doug assume Bei would have killed Kwannon instead of telling what she knows? Sloppy work. #XSpoilers

This is more of a procedural quibble, because I'm fine with the story taking Magneto off the board right away to give Scott and Hank room to do more fish out of water stuff, but I don't get how Logan can possibly kill Max when it looks like he has control of his powers. #XSpoilers

I am bummed that this intro issue ends with Bei's death. She's such an underdeveloped character, and here she gets killed off mostly just to illustrate how far off the deep end Doug has gone. Doug's Large Wife deserves better! #XSpoilers

I have been very quietly reading most of the non-Logan X-Books all year, and I generally enjoy them. Age of Revelation feels very much like an iteration on AoA style stories with its setup. I'm cautiously optimistic that it will be fun. Doug as basically a DIE style Dictator is scary. #XSpoilers

I haven't played this game on a proper TV in a couple decades, and I'm so excited to jump into it

Your tea is already cold by now, why disturb kitty's slumber? A very cozy reading nook in a very cozy witch's cabin with a VERY cozy cat.

I can't remember the name of the comic, but I recall a gorilla comic pastiche that had a special font for depicting sign language. This must have been like ten years ago though

Tomorrow's the first day of comics club at work, and I'm going to pitch the children on making shit for fun.
Photo of a minizine with a trepidatious smiley face. It's titled "10 Minute Zine!" Photo of pages 2 and 3 of the zine. Page 2 has a picture of the zine and reads, "This is a sample zine." Page 3 has a stick figure doodle of me assembling the zine and reads "I made it to show how easy it is to make something." Photo of pages 4 and 5 of the zine. Page 4 has a stick figure doodle of me holding up the zine looking ragged and says "It doesn't have to be *perfect*." Page 5 has a stick figure doodle of me wiping my brow while saying "Phew" and says "It just needs to be _done_."

Bonus pages because I had to fill the back matter somehow.
Photo of pages 6 and 7 of the zine. Page 6 has a doodle of a vibrating blobby dude and says "Oh look! Extra pages!" Page 7 has a selection of silly emoji style doodles and says "I can fill them up with whatever." Photo of page 8 of the zine. It has a stick figure doodle of me giving a thumbs up and says "(This was also a comic.)"

Love that one! I put my copy up in my classroom on the fandom wall
