Diving deeply into 6 comic book issues!
Run Time:
Show Notes: 1:20:23
We start off by raving about a game we've been playing a lot lately... you'll just have to listen to find out!
Then, once we get down to brass tacks, as they say, we talk about a bunch of other comic books before we can even get to Dark Watch #1. But then, we do! And wow are there some twists and turns!
Around 47 minutes into the episode, we read your letters to you!
On Thursday of this week, we've got another Extrasode coming your way! We've already recorded it, and it's a weird one, but no Il Alimento, certainly. Whew!
Keep on saving the Multiverse!

Another Sentinel Comics LIVE show today! Come watch us on our Twitch channel at 1:00, Central time!
An episode about America's Newest Legacy!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:17:20
(Sorry about this one being 12 hours late - we ran into a technical issue this morning and had to do a bunch of extra work today to get this one up. Thanks for bearing with us, everyone!)
We begin with the history of Pauline Parsons in Sentinel Comics, starting with her first appearance in the '50s! We go on from there through the rest of her appearances, and how her story - and the story of the Legacy line - change across the decades of publication history.
Even given all that, we are treading Legacy stories you're at least somewhat familiar with, for the most part, so it's only a bit after the 23 minute mark that we get to your questions! And we start off with a "song". Yeah. Let's go with "song".
A little after an hour into the podcast, we mention the five members of the team "Daybreak". Here are those team members:
As we talk about around the one hour and thirteen minute mark, earlier today was the first ever episode of Sentinel Comics LIVE! It went great, and we had a decent pile of folks show up to watch! (Here's the videos saved by Twitch. They got broken into part 1, part 2, and the bulk of it in part 3 for some reason. We'll be uploading the whole thing to our YouTube account in high quality at some point soon.) Join us next Tuesday at 1 PM Central.
Also, if you're a Letters Page Patreon supporter, the voting for July's episodes is up now! Go and vote - let your voice be heard!
An Extrasode about how story and mechanics work together in Sentinel Comics games!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 2:01:27
Another extrasode attended live by our Patreon Contributors! Do you want to be a part of our next live recording! Join us on the Letters Page Patreon!
We officially move on to the submitted questions around the 17 minute mark, though we answer a couple questions from the live chat before that.
Finally, after we have talked about all manner of story and mechanics interactions, we talk about the near future of Sentinel Comics - and I'm not talking about the stories from the comic books. Around an hour and 50 minutes in, we explain the plans for OblivAeon, the Letters Page, the Sentinel Comics RPG, and more. There's a lot going on with Sentinel Comics, and we're taking some time to make everything go together correctly.
Thanks for listening!
EXPLOSIONS! POUCHES! LOUD NOISES! It's time to get EXTREME!!!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:52:54
EXTREME!
Today's episode is so ridiculously off the chain. There are also lots of actual chains.
We tell a bunch of EXTREME stories. It gets BRUTAL. This isn't your DAD'S episode!
Really, buckle in, kids - things are about to get WICKED SICK.
In the first ten minutes of the episode, we knock out one of the most BADASS stories you've ever heard... and we're just getting started!
We get to your TOTALLY BADICAL questions just before an hour in.
EXTREME!!!
How do the heroes and villains do what they do?! Let's dig into that!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:24:26
We start off with an overview section that's based on the character creation system from the upcoming Sentinel Comics RPG! We go through each of the "Power Sources" from that system and talk about how they relate to the rest of Sentinel Comics.
Around 30 minutes in, we get to your questions, which end up being the bulk of the episode!
This week, we're recording 3 episodes again, as Christopher is out of town next week for Origins. (If you're there, come say hi!) On Thursday, we'll be recording the X-treme Verse episode! On Friday morning at 11 AM Central, we'll be recording the Story Meets Mechanics Extrasode! It'll be a LIVE recording for the Contributors on our Patreon, and everyone else on the Patreon will get access to that video shortly after the recording is done. Then, later that same day, we'll be recording the Young Legacy episode!
Make sure you get your questions in for those three episodes before then!
Thanks for listening!

We get deep into a major story from the history of Sentinel Comics
Right off the bat - after only a few minutes of tomfoolery - we kick off this whole event with the story of Freedom Five #595.

A world where the heroes are villains and the villains are heroes! Wacky! But then, these foes don't look so much "wacky" as they do "actually really evil"...
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:40:37
We get right into it, which is good, because we have a lot to cover today!
In the 3rd minute of the podcast, Adam claims that by 1988, the movie The Land Before Time had been released some time ago. Turns out, it was actually released November 18, 1988. So, pretty close!
Then, we get into the Disparation stories set in the Inverse Universe.
Around fifteen minutes in, we introduce the team of ne'er-do-wells pictured above. Villainous!
Just before the 44 minute mark, we start talking about how the Inverted Universe starts talking about how these stories in issues of Disparation change the future of Disparation books!
Then, right after the 47 minute mark, we get into your questions!
In the future section, starting around the 1 hour and 32 minute mark, we talk about not just the future of Disparation, but the future of the Letters Page, as well! This even includes an interesting SPOILER. The Inverted Universe changes so much!
As mentioned at the end of the episode, we're recording the Sunrise episode this Thursday, so get your questions in by then. Additionally, we're recording Editor's Note #18 on Friday morning (which will be a live recording for our Patreon supporters at the Contributor level), and then recording the first episode for June later that day. The topic for that episode is "Superpower Sources".
So, the Sunrise episode will be released next Tuesday, which is May 29th; Editor's Note #18 will be released Thursday, May 31st; and the Superpower Sources episode will be released Tuesday, June 5th.
