Good morrow and happy anniversary! That's right, Sensational She-Geek Live from Yancy street has been a podcast regularly updated for one whole year! That year has found lots of change in the industry as well as personally, giving us a whopping 90 episodes, and making this the glorious 91st! So kick back and get ready to enjoy the first ever anniversary episode!
NEWS of the week actually features actual news for once, which is exciting. It includes The Batman runtime, AppleTV+'s MonsterVerse show announcement, Marvel's 2022 Women's History covers, Daredevil rebooting with #1 in June, the official green light for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and one unjust cancellation. This all starts at 0:08:28! the RUMORS portion of the news can be found at 0:31:02, covering the Daredevil She-Hulk rumors (and an explanation on his first-ever comic suit), and some Secret Wars speculation based off of recent leaked images. Weekly Comic Book Picks start at 0:34:36 with a special edition discussion of the Cursed Pirate Girl saga by Jeremy Bastian! It came out with it's fifth chapter, The Devil's Cave, this past week, which led me into a deep dive on the series, which I share in summary here with you. Other Picks of the week include Bolero #1, She0Hulk #1 (of 5 :( ), Home Sick Pilots, and more. The Weekly Comic Pull list, at 0:47:23, covers a surprising number of independent #1 comics and a few delightful comic book specials, but the best comes last (1:01:01) with a short, excited bit on the glorious return of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' Saga! Gone since 2018 and the hype is as big as ever. The most recent Book of Boba Fett rundown for episode 4, The Gathering Storm, can be found at 1:03:51. I cover a brief overview of the episode's events, including more on how cool Fennec Shand is, the story of the hatred between Wookies and Trandoshans, and theories on where the final 3 episodes will be taking us--or who they'll show us. Since they've both been released, I went ahead and covered both the Marvel (1:10:08) and DC (1:27:50) April comic book solicitations. I cover these each month because it's a good way to keep your ear to the ground as to what's going on at two of the biggest players in the geek industries, as well as to hopefully pique listeners' interests to something in those goings-on. It's also a good way to get to know common creator names in the industry! I'll be back with another episode next week, on January 31st! We'll cover comic Picks (based off this week's Pulls) and next week's Pull list, this week's Book of Boba Fett episode 5, and anything else relevant! We're already through the first month of 2022, folks, keep it sweaty!

Stick around to the end for my list of characters to watch in 2022 as their stories continue to progress!
The wrap-up starts with the Best Series of the year at 0:07:59, which picks up with DC comics before MARVEL at 0:24:52 and general "INDIES" at 0:32:16. There is even a short section on the Best of Future State starting at 0:44:43, Best Writers begin at 0:47:29, then there's the (Interior) Artist list at 0:53:50 and the (Cover) Artist list at 0:57:02. #1 One-Shots/Single Issues can be found at 1:00:07, and Excellent Starts for series that will mainly be in 2022 is at 1:04:09; Breakout Names on my personal comic book radar are at 1:04:39, and then we have the annual Disappointments, found at 1:07:48, talking things that just weren't what we hoped they'd be. Finally, Characters to watch in 2022 begins at 1:14:30 with a list of (admittedly mostly female) characters who will be popping up in important ways in the comics industry through this year! Don't miss out on them! This episode is made available to Patrons starting Tuesday, Jan. 18th, and will be made public starting Friday the 21st. The next Yancy Street Special will cover everything about She-Hulk in preparation for her Disney+ show and her new comic series!

The News and Rumors: is Gunn directing Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy's onscreen team-up? Multiverse of Madness Cameo Rumor Roundup! Clea/Theron Casting Rumors; and a bit of my own speculation on who "She-Hulk's Best Friend" is, as being played by Ginger Gonzaga in the upcoming Disney+ show!
Comic Book Pick list at 0:22:49, including a brief history of the Bloodstone clan, two excellent indie premieres and two mediocre ones, an uncanny number of things written by Chip Zdarsky, the final issue of Marauders, and more! Comic Book Pulls for this week at 0:36:21, where I'm mostly excited about the premier of She-Hulk's new series! Which, by the way, I have a MASSIVE Intro to Jen Walters/She-Hulk Yancy Street Special episode coming up this weekend! A discussion of Book of Boba Fett episode 3, "the Streets of Mos Espa," goes along with an explanation of the Nightsisters of Dathomir, in Legends as well as Canon! Finally, after Monday's blessed Moon Knight trailer premier, the episode wraps up with a some brief speculation on what direction the show will be taking, based off of comic knowledge. If you want a more in-depth explanation of Moon Knight (and Marc Spector), check out the Disney+ Day segment on this podcast, episode 41A!

This week's big catch-up episode starts with news as usual (0:07:17), but most of this news is rumors and speculation, including talk of the Batgirl movie, the Marvels, Wakanda Forever, and of course, Multiverse of Madness.
Covering two week's of comics, some of the stars of my pick list discussion include Harley Quinn #10, Death of Doctor Strange #4, Dark Knights of Steel #3, Dirtbag Rapture #4, and more! The first week of comics is at 0:27:02, the second starts at 0:40:48, and this week's pull list, including so many #1's!, is at 0:51:43. Finally, the main event is my Book of Boba Fett episode 1 and 2 discussions. The first was an amazing start, but I liked the second even more. At the end, I talk a fair amount about the metaphor of the Tusken Raiders and what their handling between Mando and Book of Boba very relevantly displays--all tied up with Morrison's Maori heritage. The next podcast episode will be the Best of Comics 2021 podcast special, coming this week! It's done, it's ready to record, let's see if I get it out on time! sad laugh. But in all seriousness, I'll have another Monday episode up on Monday the 17th, covering more comics, more rumors, and more Book of Boba!
