Episode #280 - Writer's Room: Disparation Vol. 2 #122

The end of the Oracle! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:17:50 Look how short this episode is! It's not because anything was ommitted — no, we just knew this whole tale, and told it post-haste! Is it a good tale? That's for YOU to decide! We answer some questions from recent and NOT AT ALL RECENT history. Do the questions ripen with age? Or do they rot? Or neither? So many questions in today's show notes. Too many? Who can say?! Join us next week for a Writers' Room about that one time when Akash'Bhuta became Akash'Thriya! Woo!

Editor's Note #78

It's another LIVE SHOW! Or, rather, it was. This is the recording of that live show. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:48 We do some goofs, tell some tales, answer letters and questions from chat — everything you've come to expect from an Editor's Note episode! But first! A schedule!

Episode #279 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #533

Looks like it's time for Space Stuff! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:09:45 What's with all these long episodes (for the most part) lately?! We must be catching up for lost time in the first few months of the year. Yeah, that's it — gotta make sure our average episode length smooths itself out. This episode is just a straight-up continuation of a previous episode: Episode #225, in fact! Haven't listened to it before? We recommend going back and checking it out before diving into this one. We clarify some things from the issue we Writers' Roomed in that one, cover the issue after that, and then dive deep into today's title/cover issue! Woo! Then, in the letters section, we talk about love. What's not to love? See you next week (or this Friday, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon) for an Editor's Note!

Episode #278 - Writers' Room: A Day In The Life: The Argent Adept

Another Day in another Life! The musical episode? (No.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:39:59 It's been awhile since we've done one of these, and we're excited to return to the format. Did we make it work? You decide! Also, check out this kick-ass cover that Adam slaved over! Mighty impressive! We also field a bunch of letters on a few topics, and we attempt to answer them all! I realize that's pretty much every episode, but it's also this one! Join us next week for an episode about space anti-hero big dummy, earth-to-space-to-earth fashion model turned vigilante vs cosmic Jaws (TM, don't sue us).

Apr 9, 20241h 40m

Episode #277 - Writers' Room: Mind Over Matter #53

We're going to a darker time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:29 We're right at it, and telling a story that gets pretty Dark... Dark Visionary, that is! I'd say "spoilers", but you could have already seen the cover by this point, so there you go. And it happened at the same time as the Vengeance limited series, as promised! Want to know more? You'll just have to listen to the episode! Next week, we get to do another Day in the Life episode, this one about The Argent Adept! Join us!

Apr 2, 20241h 37m

Episode #276 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #431

Christopher and Adam are back, and they're not even a little sorry for this episode! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:07:07 We genuinely didn't know where we were headed at the start of this recording, but we sure got there! Did you enjoy it? We sure did! Join us next week for Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story!

Mar 26, 20242h 7m

Surgery-Sode!!!

It's finally here! The long-awaited surgery-sode! That's right, not much of an episode today, because Christopher just had spine surgery and is recovering. How's recovery going? I'm sure we'll find out soon! Bear with us until then! (AAAAH!! The bear is back!!!)

Editor's Note #77

An early Editor's Note! Show Notes: Run Time: 2:04:03 The Letters Boys have some complaints, but all solvable problems, one way or another! We look forward to having fewer complaints and make more content! Stories! Art! More! There's an upcoming schedule! There's also a current schedule! Here they are! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, March 12th: definitely Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 19th: for sure Surgery-Sode Tuesday, March 26th: hopefully Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character If all that works, then: Tuesday, April 2nd: Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story Tuesday, April 9th: Episode #278 - A Day in the Life: Argent Adept Tuesday, April 16th: Episode #279 - Greazer & Fashion vs Card Shark Tuesday, April 23rd: Editor's Note #78 Tuesday, April 30th: Episode #280 - Disparation Vol. 2 #122 "Farewell to the Oracle" Here's hoping! Next week, it's the likely-not-very-interesting-surgery-sode, but then! After that! A return to form (probably) with maybe Christopher having a funny voice (hopefully)! Something(s) to look forward to.

Mar 12, 20242h 4m

Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #391

Telling a story about a minor villain who never really catches on... until she is reborn! (But that's in the future. Not in this episode.) Show Notes: Run Time: 2:04:47 Over two hours! Huh, I don't remember feeling that long when we recorded it. Welp! We must have been in the zone, or something. ANYWAY! We tell a Choke story. The first one, actually! But we talk about a bunch of other stuff as well, including Night Snake and Stuntman stuff in the letters section. There's a lot! It's all pretty fun! At least, we sure think so. Thanks for being a part of it! We're recording a LIVE Editor's Note, this Friday, March 8th, at 11 AM, Central! If you're on The Letters Page Patreon, you can watch it, and even join in if you're a Contributor! Otherwise, it'll come out next week in audio format! After that: surgery. Weee!

Mar 5, 20242h 4m

Episode #274 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #107-#108

NOW we're REALLY back! For a few weeks, at least. But still! TWO COVERS! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:43:48 Right off the bat, a new upcoming schedule! Wednesday, February 28th: Record Episode #275: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, March 5th: Release Episode #275: Choke in Megalopolis Friday, March 8th: Record Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 12th: Release Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 19th: Release Surgery-sode! After that, things depend on how recovery goes, and whether or not I go to PAX East. We'll keep you updated as we know more! Sorry for things still being so up in the air, but it's for very good reasons, at least! And then, to the episode! Do we tell a tale? YES! Emphatically yes. We cover a lot, and we do the whole thing live! Remember: we're recording the next episode TOMORROW! So, if you have any questions, now is the time to submit them! SUBMIT!

Feb 27, 20241h 43m

Editor's Note #76

The most normal episode in weeks! And we did it live! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:25 Medical updates, schedule updates, plans, hopes, dreams, and whiteboard drawings. What more could you ask for? What's that you say? Questions, answered live? Yeah, we've got those, too! First off, here are a couple of hopefully illustrative whiteboard drawings, as discussed near the start of this episode. The problem: The solution: Makes sense? Certainly something Christopher is looking forward to! Next, the proposed schedule, though with the knowledge that it could change at any time, due to surgery! Upcoming schedule: ??? Tuesday, March 5th: probably Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, March 12th: maybe Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character Tuesday, March 19th: possibly Editor's Note #77 Tuesday, March 26th: hopefully Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story And then, we read some letters, give some answers, and also answer questions in the chat! Starting off with two lovely postcards: Thanks, everyone! Join us next week for Episode #274: Baron Blade vs non-Freedom Five heroes! Get your questions in now!

Feb 20, 20241h 48m

Answer-Sode!

We're back with a bigger episode than we've had in weeks! (Which isn't saying that much, but still!) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:05:11 First, we go in-depth on Christopher's health and answer as many questions of that sort as possible. (More to come on that when we do a live show this coming Friday!) Then, now that we've answered the latest questions (such as, "Is Christopher OK?") we figured we'd take a swing at some of the oldest questions in the hopper! It's almost like a normal Letters section! Huzzah! There's some question at the end (and before that, too) as to whether the schedule will allow for a live show this coming Friday. If you've been following the parentheticals, you know that it's true! There will be a live Editor's Note this coming Friday, February 16th! 11 AM, Central Time! If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us! If not, join us! (But, you know, a different kind of join us. First, the second. Second, the first.) See you then!

Feb 13, 20241h 5m

Spine-a-sode!

Another fake episode? You bet! But this one has way more information than last fake episode, hippo violations be damned! Plus, hope for an eventual return to normalcy! What more could you ask for? Thanks for sticking with us, folks. We hate not putting out real episodes and look forward to getting back to it as soon as possible. Until then, go out there and save the Multiverse!

Feb 6, 202424 min

Not-a-Sode

Not the regularly scheduled episode you were expecting, for which we apologize. Christopher's medical condition has taken several turns for the worse, so we talk a bit about that on the air about what that means for the future, and what they can do to make up for it when he's better. Bear with us!

Editor's Note #75

The first Editor's Note of 2024! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:14 This one ended up being longer than usual — it has both a real life letter (spoilers) and a cover section (more spoilers)! But first, the upcoming schedule: Tuesday, February 6th: Episode #275 - Writers' Room: Choke in Megalopolis Tuesday, February 13th: Episode #276 - Writers' Room: A Villain romantically involved with a support character Tuesday, February 20th: Editor's Note #76 Tuesday, February 27th: Episode #277 - Writers' Room: A Vengeance tie-in story Other than that, what all do we talk about? Listen to learn more!

Jan 23, 20241h 47m

Episode #273 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #613

A tale, told swiftly, but told well! (At least, so we hope.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:41 We tear right into this one, building out Waykeep notably and inventing a new villain to keep things interesting! It's another great day here at The Letters Page, where we keep our letters on our page! Trying out a new tagline. It's not great. That happens. All part of the process. We've got a live show coming up this Friday for you fantastic patreon folks! For everyone else, it'll be next week's episode! Either way: tune in! Please! We like it when you listen to us.

Jan 16, 20241h 20m

Episode #272 - Writers' Room: Mystery Comics Vol. 2 #485

Off to a great start for 2024! Join us next week for Episode #273: Lifeline encounters Waykeep! What does that mean? Time will tell!

Jan 9, 20241h 53m

Holid-AI Mini-Sode

Happy Holidays to all of you fantastic letter writers, game players, Patreon supporters, shippers, and listeners of all types! From all of us here at the Letters Page: Christopher, Adam, Trevor, and the computers that simulate our existence. Let's make 2024 the best year ending in "24" yet!

Episode #271 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #16

Happy Boxing Day, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:31 Today's topic is "Captain Cosmic and/or Naturalist Story Where Neither Are Responsible For The Relevant Problem And Both Contribute Positively To Its Satisfying Resolution And Neither Are Tricked By Anyone In The Process"... and we feel called out. However! We do our best to present at least one of those two daring do-gooders in a purely positive light! In the process of storytelling, Christopher draws some things on his whiteboard to illustrate a point to Adam. Here are photos of those drawings! First: Veneer's plan: The ultimate outcome (SPOILERS!): Those pictures are likely worth far less than the going rate of 1000 words. Next Tuesday is the first Tuesday of 2024, and is thus our traditional "break", but we'll be back the week after that with episode #272, all about Stuntman AND Night Snake! Get your questions in now!

Dec 26, 20231h 38m

Editor's Note #74

Happy Holidays, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:11 It's the end of the year as we know it, and we feel fine! What's coming up for next year? We don't know! Well, we know some things.

Dec 19, 20231h 25m

Episode #270 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #513

All new, all different, all... what?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:11 An alternate Freedom Five line-up, in the 90s? Gotta be a blatant but misguided marketing stunt, right? Correct. We get into it! And tell some strange stories! And cover a number of issues! And even answer questions! If you're a Letters Page Patreon Person, join us this Friday for a LIVE Editor's Note! Otherwise, it'll be out in audio for next week! See you then!

Dec 12, 20231h 18m

Episode #269 - Writers' Room: America's Newest Legacy #514 & #515

A dynamic duo of issues about a dynamic duo of heroes! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:46:50 We actually talk about even more issues than just the two! But those are the focus of the story, certainly. We also have a thrilling letters section, with some never before asked questions! A landmark episode, to be sure. Join us next week for an episode about an alternate Freedom Five line-up... which we've already recorded!

Dec 5, 20231h 46m

Episode #268 - Writers' Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 4 #60-#61

Two issues today? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:25 No, actually more than two issues! We have a LOT of issues, and we talk about many of them. That could be the tagline of The Letters Page, actually. Get your questions for "Young Legacy and Expatriette team-up" and "Alternate Freedom Five line-up" in ASAP! And Christopher will be at PAX Unplugged this weekend, so come find him!

Nov 28, 20231h 40m

Episode #267 - Writers' Room: Prime Wardens Vol. 2 #29

To the land of the dead! But with mummies and lots of sand! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:28 Christopher starts off with another tale of injury, but this was far lower stakes and more medically attended to than last year's cave story, so that's good, at least! Then, our heroes fall! But will they rise again? Gosh, let's hope so! If you're a Letters Page Patreon supporter, join us this Friday for a live Editor's Note! If not, you'll hear it next Tuesday! Either way: it'll be a fun time!

Nov 14, 20231h 40m

Episode #266 - Writers' Room: Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #506

Spooky season continues with a Very Spooky November! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:31 This one gets pretty extreme! We're gonna tell a few issues worth of story, and we're going to try to not make this the longest episode, as a result. We think we did a pretty OK job at both — what do you think? Join us next week for Episode #267: Prime Wardens in the Egyptian Underworld! Get your questions in about it now!

Nov 7, 20231h 25m

Episode #265 - Writers' Room: The Guise Book #22

Happy Halloween! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:50:31 This Halloween, Guise has got his hands full... full of stakes with which to stab vampires! Draculas, specifically. We tell the whole tale, revealing much, but also sneaking some non-reveals in there, as well! We also answer many questions on a few topics, including the surprisingly well-received Sk8Blayd episode! Join us next week for an episode about GloomWeaver and Æternus... which we've already recorded! But if you've got questions about the Prime Wardens in the Egyptian Underworld, send them in!

Oct 31, 20231h 50m

Episode #264 - Writers' Room: Savage Haka #100

We came here to talk about wolves and travel the world, and we're all out of travel time! Awwwooooo! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:29 Our THIRD episode recorded in 2 days, and yet, we pull it off majestically! At least, WE think we're majestic. Don't burst our bubble. This is a very 90s story, and as such, it has a very 90s cover, complete with ridiculous hologram! Look at the great work Adam did crafting a hologram to make this cover look terrible! I mean awesome! Now that schedule things are back to normal, we've got an Editor's Note coming up VERY SOON! In fact, that's next week's episode! And, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can watch it live this coming Friday! Heck, if you're a Contributor to said Patreon, you can join in the chat and be part of the episode! Exciting!

Kicking off the spooky months with a bang! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:45 This is the FIRST of the three episodes recorded in a row... and yet! It could be the third, based on the amount of goofy unhinged nonsense we're up to, right off the bat! Why? Who can say? But then, we get into a story, and we try to play it cool, but we let some things slip. You'll figure it out! And if not, don't worry, we reveal all... or, at least, a lot. Time will tell, and all that! Join us next week for an (already recorded) episode all about an old Nazi foe, back from the dead!

Episode #261 - Rook City Renegades #100

Everybody's had the right to be free. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:37:40 We talk about travel, climbing, movies, small furry creatures/people... and finally we stop stalling and tell the stories you voted on!

Episode #259 - Disparation Vol. 2 #108

Let's get EXTREME again! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:52 OK, we get pretty silly with this one, but it's worth it! At least, we think so. I'm just now on my way back from a very successful PAX West, which I'm sure you'll hear all about in next week's episode, which is Episode #260: Creative Process: OblivAeon Refugees! Get your questions in for that one now! Talk to you then!

Sep 5, 20231h 21m

Episode #258: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 4 #55

It's time to hunt! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:12 We start with some goofs about episode, dice, and more, but then we get into it! Because we gotta tell you several back stories and also, after all of this, record another episode in ONE DAY?! Is it possible? I guess you'll have to wait until next week to find out THAT outcome! For now, we're gonna talk about Alpha, and we're gonna talks about the Lords Wolfhunt! Join us next week for some XTREME Omnitron action and more! We hope you enjoy this stuff at least half as much as we do!

Aug 29, 20231h 25m

Editor's Note #70

Back to normal! More or less! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:44:03 We've got goofs! Surprised? I feel like you shouldn't be, by this point. Still, goofs abound!

Join us next week for Episode #258 - Writers' Room: Tabitha Taft defeats an Alpha foe! Who could it BE now?

Aug 22, 20231h 44m

Gen Con Live 2023

Coming at you, both LIVE and NEON! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:30 How could I pick from all these fantastic photos? Look at them! The show starts off with some yelling as I throw shutter shades and snap bracelets into the audience — no one got hurt! Which is shocking, really. Then, we take more photos! A little after the 5 minute mark, we do some great radio that isn't explained well on the air. It culminates in me removing my tie and tying it around Adam's head as a headband. It was another fantastic live show, with both Trevor and Jean-Marc helping out a ton, and even a surprise appearance from Paul Bender to reprise a segment from last year. AND! Tons of fantastic listeners, many of whom we knew by name but had never met before. That was a cool experience for us, to be sure. Join us next week for an Editor's Note next week, and if you're on the Patreon, join us this coming Friday for a live recording of said Editor's Note! Oh, and speaking of the Letters Page Patreon, if you're a Patreon supporter, you can get all the audio files from today's episode over there! Pretty cool, right?

Aug 14, 20231h 40m

The Talented-Trevor-sode!

Surprise! No episode this week, and yet we still put out a little something! By now, I'm sure that's not at all surprising, since we do something like this everytime, but each one unique! This one shows off just how good Trevor is at stuff, and also gives you a little insight into Christopher's other podcast, the Play Greater Podcast! We're newly back from Gen Con, but the dust has HARDLY settled. Next week's episode will be the audio recording of this year's Gen Con live show, and then all you Letters Page Patreon folks can join us the following Friday for a live Editor's Note! And if you're not a Letters Page Patreon person, maybe consider becoming one today! See you soon!

Episode #257 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Concurrence #12

We're off to Gen Con! Here's a space story! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:39:07 We're happy to be here, and we're also happy to be going to Gen Con! If you're in the Indianapolis area on this coming Sunday, August 6th, at noon, come to Stadium Room 12 and join us for a live show! However, before that, we go to space with our most oft-character-changing hero, Parse! Oh, and because Adam had to make that poster for the comic book cover anyway, here's a "clean" version of it: No episode next week, because of Gen Con! See you after the dust settles!

Aug 1, 20231h 39m

Episode #255 - Writers' Room: Freedom Five #475

A new Citizen?! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:35:40 It's been a while since we've talked about Citizen Dawn related stuff. Can she survive this return to her stories?! Villainy is afoot! This story has a decent amount of musing and live creation, and I think that's nice! Do you enjoy that sort of thing? We hope so! Join us next week for Editor's Note #69, and if you're part of the Letters Page Patreon, join us this Friday for the livestream... but not at the normal time of 11 AM, no no!

Ambuscade is gonna win! And also, a second cover! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:41 We try to skip the banter, and only sort of succeed. Places to be! Stories to tell! And tell, we do!

Episode #253 - Writers' Room: Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #536

This episode is a bit shorter than average these days... but we talk about several issues of Sentinel Comics, so that makes up for it, right? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:10:51 We start off with some jokes, some banter, that sort of thing, but then we gotta get down to business! Stories to be told! The original prompt was "Greazer in La Comodora's brig". Did we answer that prompt? We certainly attempt to do so! Several times! But... did we do it!? Who can say. Want more access? Want to make decisions about the future of The Letters Page Sure you do! That sounds fun, right? Join our Patreon community and make the important choices about what we do next! Join us next week for an event called "La Gloire!" Hear us attempt and fail to smoothly pronounce French words! What more could you ask for?

Editor's Note #68

Note note note note! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:25:06 Before getting into Meta questions and Meta Meta questions, we are once again awed at how long we've been doing this, then do some goofs, and finally talk about the schedule! Upcoming schedule: Tuesday, July 4th: Episode #254 - Writers' Room: Ambuscade vs the Prime Wardens Tuesday, July 11th: Episode #255 - Writers' Room: Citizens of the Sun Civil War Tuesday, July 18th: Editor's Note #69 Tuesday, July 25th: Episode #256 - Writers' Room: The Scholar encounters Darkstrife and Painstake Then we answer questions, both from letters and from the chat! Speaking of the chat, those who get to attend live by being Patreon supporters get to see us do an extra 10-20 minutes of stuff before the show recording starts, including some (bad) drawing and additional goofs. Today's episode pre-show included a surprise special guest that genuinely surprised Adam! Trevor captured Adam's reaction perfectly with this screenshot: It's Nolan Nasser! Want to know more? Patreon supporters don't just get access to the live shows — they can go back and watch the streams from every live show, not just the ones in the time they've been a supporter! So joining now gives you access to the rest of this episode's video, plus all other videos from as far back as we've been doing them! Just something to consider. See you next week for Episode #253 - Writers' Room: Greazer in La Comodora's Brig!

Episode #252 - Writer's Room: Mystery Comics Vol. 2 #93

It's gritty time! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:13 We start with some goofs and chats, and then we get right into it, telling a story designed to make you feel good about the world and humanity! All is well! A note on that brilliant cover that Adam drew and the name of the episode. During the episode, we posited just when the issue might land, and we were mostly right, but off by a little. Fortunately, our eagle-eyed listeners noticed an issue while Adam was livestreaming his drawing of that cover, which gave us the opportunity to shift the issue number slightly, clearing up any potential conflicts. So, that is accurately Issue #93 of Vol. 2 of Mystery Comics! Join us next week for an Editor's Note, and if you're on the Letters Page Patreon, you can join us this Friday morning at 11 AM Central for the live recording of said Editor's Note!

Episode #251 - Writers' Room: Justice Comics #58

Our earliest story ever! And it even has a backup story! Let's get golden! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:22:00 We do some banter, then tell some tales! We know a lot about this one, but there are still many details that can be discovered on the air, and we seek them out! Plus some unexpected twists! A shorter question section than usual, but that's OK! It happens sometimes. If you haven't seen the cover for this episode, I highly recommend checking it out! It's the earliest cover Adam has drawn, so far. The covers are always in the show notes, and some podcast apps show them, but others don't. But they're always visible at our website!

Episode #250 - Writers' Room: Justice Comics #571-573

THREE issues today? Yes! But only one cover. You'll have to listen to the cover section to find out why! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:21:01 Happy Birthday tomorrow, Adam! And we hope that everyone enjoys International Same Age Day this Thursday! This episode went by quickly, mostly because we had a lot of the pieces already, and the stuff we didn't have was just all kinds of fun. Adam helps Christopher get through his impending mental breakdown. We'll see how much longer he has in him before he's overtaken by the Void itself! We also answer a bunch of questions, as is our wont. And we talk about a cover! Really, we talk about three, but that's giving away too much.
