The catching up starts with an unfortunate loss, the obituary of THE John Romita Sr. (0:05:03). A legend across publishers, eras, characters, and influences, his career was one that will always remain vastly important to the history of comic book publishing.
In our episodic Tarot Studies (00:11:15), we discuss the history, symbolism, interpretation, and pop culture references of the 11th card of the Major Arcana, Justice! Coinciding comic characters: Magik and Valkyrie. Instead of a Manga of the week this go-round (00:23:49), I decided this June for Pride Month, I'd do a Pride Month Highlight on Great Queer Manga: highlighting the diversity of characters, topics, and settings of LGBTQ+-based manga! I've compiled a list of 7 beloved queer manga (plus a few favorites of our own!) to briefly describe and, I hope, catch your interest. Moving forward into my bit on Comic Books (00:34:57), I have a LOT of comics from May/June to cover, which I've finally caught up on! This includes the finale to Thompson's Captain Marvel series, the premier of Tom King's coming Wonder Woman, Hickman's return to Marvel with ultimate Invasion, and much, much more! As for what's new Next week (6/28) (00:52:43 ), we have some great variant covers to mention and celebrate. Comic Book News (00:55:51) includes Kelly Thompson's Birds of Prey, Rafael Grampa's Gargoyle of Gotham, Hickman's utter glory, and Alyssa Wong's October Captain Marvel! Lots to talk about, and even more to come. Which brings us right into the parts for TV and Movies (01:12:08), starting with some brief notes on what I've been watching lately: HMU about that FROM finale, PLEASE. Announcements/Rumors; Trailers; and Anime News (01:14:52) are gone through pretty quickly, so see the podnotes for the links to details and elaboration! Finally, CURRENT TV: (01:32:27) Starting with Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episodes 1 AND 2, then going into Secret Invasion's episode 1 premier! So much fun, for so many reasons. And are you, as well, looking forward to the SNW/Lower Decks crossover? I'm ready. And that's it this week. I'll be back as soon as I am able, odd are with Adam included! We'll talk more Trek, more Marvel, more Manga and Anime, and as always, more Comics. Keep is sweaty, nerds.

I'll be the first to admit we might have been cracking some beers doing this recording, so I hope you enjoy it! This is a much less regimented episode than I usually do, so let me know what you think of the format compared to "usual" weeks.
Tarot card of the week is the Chariot! I don't have anything too interesting for history unfortunately, just the usual symbolism, meanings, and pop culture. The Manga of the Week is The Fed Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess! Not available in print in English, so that's up to you to figure out. But man, do I love this one! Easy to catch up on as it's only about 8 chapters in! Which ends what I actually planned for the episode--the remainder is free reign discussion between myself and Adam about recent Geek culture/pop culture events. We start with the recent casting rumors and short lists for James Gunn's much looked-forward-to Superman: Legacy movie. We go through our wants and expectations, along with the names who might be playing various important characters. Then it's continuing the Gunn discussion with Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Granted, we haven't seen it in theaters, but I've seen enough and heard enough to know I won't be seeing it there period. We are not a household that puts up with visceral animal pain. But there's more than that to talk about, and so with what we know, we do. Lastly, it had to happen: more Amazing Spider-Man comics discussion. But don't just stop here, the whole episode is full of little bits and pieces of geek culture being talked about, including the DnD movie, DC's Knight Terrors event, and more! I hope you enjoy our tipsy chat, and there should be a slightly more regular episode back again next week--unless y'all really prefer this! Let me know.

It's been a few weeks (long story), so with all this content too cover, I had to bring in a special co-host! Follow Adam on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/adeezzy40/
Link for podcast notes to follow along if you want: As promised, we begin this week with a tribute 05:22 to Lance Reddick: actor, artist, musician, and geek. He is a vast talent that will truly be missed. The tarot studies major arcana card of the week 12:12 is card #6: The lovers (which is gunny, cause co-host). I talk a LOT about the history of this one, which i hope you find just as interesting as I did! The deck of the month is Tarot Mucha from Lo Scarabeo. Our Manga of the Week is Kaiju No.8, in a discussion primarily led by Adam! Followed by Manga News 47:54. The Comics segment begins 52:24 with what is new this coming week (the last of April), and then has a LOT of catching up on recent comic book releases, including this final arc of Captain Marvel, the first issues of Hellcat, eternally more love for Purgatori, and so much more! TV and Movies segment 1:37:05 starts with some new and noteworthy titles including the so-far Spring Anime releases, Beef with Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, and a few others. Star Wars Celebration wrap-up 1:42:45 includes the teasers and trailers, the new "trilogy" announcement, and what we hope for the future! Other News 02:05:19 including the potential of an Adam Driver-led F4, is followed by discussion of the recent trailers that premiered--mostly the Spider-Verse and the Marvels ones. Hype! Follow Kris Anka on Instagram @krisanka Some light anime news 02:26:16 leads us finally into the finale episodes of the Mandalorian season 3 02:27:39, covering Guns for Hire, The Spies, and The Return! Mall Ninja Gideon, Din Grogu, Queer Longing, Clones, Westerns Tropes and more--there's just a lot of love in this discussion. And hopefully more next season! I'll be back--guest host or not regardless--hopefully in another week talking more manga of the week, tarot studies, new shows and comics, and much more! It's a great time to be a nerd.

Nothing need to know, but life does get in the way at times and this was certainly one of those times. As always, and maybe in the spirit of the anime Shoujo Heroine, we will continue moving forward with time and continue to strive to do our best, whatever that may entail on a day-to-day basis.
One of the hard points recently was the news of the passing of celebrated geek, musician, actor and voice actor, Lance Reddick. The dust hasn't quite settled enough for the tribute I feel he is required, so I don't have it here on this episode. But he is due the respect of proper obituary on this podcast, so when we are ready, it will happen. In the meantime, if you have any stories of Lance, please feel free to share them wherever you can so I can add that to his tribute. Starting with Tarot 06:41, I remembered this week to give the note on Divinatory Tarot and the Like that I meant to go over last week, and the full article it came from can be found here: http://hearingshofar.blogspot.com/2010/03/aries-shofar-at-pesach.html Card of the Week for our tarot lessons continuation is #5: the Hierophant. I have the description, symbolism, meanings and interpretation, plus a bit of history and some fun pop culture references! Manga of the week 0:19:23 is, ironically, it turns out, Tokyo Demon Bride Story by TADAICHI NAKAMA! Ironic, because I also learned today that this is the last day of it's publication: the manga ends as of today, April 3rd. While it seems to have a fair amount of haters, I found it quite charming and entertaining. Tokyo Demon Bride story can be found on the Shonen Jump app. Manga News for the week 22:26 includes the MyAnimeList Ultimate List of Manga Recommendations (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2023-03-31/myanimelist-releases-ultimate-list-of-manga-recommendations/.196585 ) as well as a number of other starts and finales. Comic Book News 25:50 is a touch heavy this week, starting with the frankly ludicrous twitter debate of Comics vs Manga, and going into the sad truth of our female creators in comics, and how their legacies are sabotaged by the publishers who hired them. The discussion came from the following tweet: https://twitter.com/ComicBookHerald/status/1636013058890903553?s=20 . We also gave some time and thought to the legacy of Carol Danvers, and how the cancellation of her series at issue 50 is NOT a good decision for anyone involved, even so much as to relate to the previous point about female Big Two creators. Plus I have some King/Sampere Wonder Woman thoughts, which I don't think anyone will have an answer for until her landmark 800th issue. I talk a bit about the kick-off's from 3/22 0:37:49 plus some of what was new this past week, 3/29. As always, this is only a tiny fraction of all comic releases each week, so be sure to contact your local comic purveyor for the full details on what you may be interested in! Comics are, as always, for everyone. We get into the TV/MOVIES segement 0:41:31 ith what's New and Noteworthy lately, including Yellowjackets season 2, Wellmania, Unstable (wow, bit of trend here, eh?), School Spirits, and more. We're back to having a PROPER News/Announcements segment this week, starting with the RUMORS: 48:13, then MCU: 51:59 including the leaving of Victoria Alonso and Ike Perlmutter, Secret Invasion info and theories, the necessary mentioning of changes that may come to Loki season 2's cast, Liv Tyler's Betty Ross, and the casting of Wonder Man's brother, Grim Reaper. Then DCU: 1:03:16 talking Batman 2's villain, a certain unfortunate project, and of course, the Blue Beetle trailer! Big ups and downs in the pop culture news this week, for sure. Anime News 1:06:58 has me talking Spring 2023 Lineup English Dubs (no dates! why no dates, Crunchyroll?) as well as new Anime and show announcements, including the Netflix Scott Pilgrim project, Konosuba, Re:Zero, Spy x Family, Girlfriend Girlfriend, and more! Finally, I get caught up with where we're at with the Mandalorian season 3, talking chapters 20 and 21: the Foundling and the Pirate, respectively. From space pterodactyls to HOLY SHIT I forgot to finish talking about episode 21...ummmmm oops. I'll see if I remembe to talk about the Armorer + Bo Katan next week! heh. oops. And that's it! happy to have you here. Please rate/like my episodes so they get seen by more listeners, and thank you as always for your support. Next week we'll talk card #6, the Lovers, plus a new Manga of the week, more shows and movies and Mando, more anime, and tons of fun, I hope.

Fans and professionals alike from all kinds of art and storytelling communities had a lot to say about his man's important legacy. This had to be followed up by something lighter (0:18:44), so we have a fun live-size Gundam update!
This week's Tarot Studies (00:21:73) covers the next card of the Major Arcana: #1, the Magician! This card has some interesting and surprising history, much of which is quite different than how we view it today. For the history page I discuss in this segment, go here: https://tarot-heritage.com/from-trionfi-to-majorarcana/from-il-bagatto-to-the-magician/ and be sure t come back next week for the lesson on #2, the High Priestess! Our Manga segment (00:36:47) contains the new Manga of the Week, for which I proudly present Boys Over Flowers, by Yoko Kamio! A highly formative story for myself personally, I was particularly excited to share Hana Yori Dango with the podcast listeners. Best selling shojo manga of all time, gang gang (does anyone get that reference?) The segment for Comic Books (00:50:38) starts with some brief May solicitation highlights for the "Big-Two," including what comes new that month, and some light (and frankly necessary) Marvel bashing. Don't miss the Month of March Comic Book Look-Ahead next week, where I'll be talking about what is new and/or exciting from ALL publishers this coming month! New Comic Books This Week (Feb. 21st-22nd, 00:54:08) are covered quickly, with a plethora of indie kick-offs! Recent Reads/Events (01:03:25) includes a fairly in-depth catch-up for the first two issues of Justice Society of America, which I find myself far more into than I expected! Finally, for the TV/Movies segment (01:13:41), I go over what's new and noteworthy, including some notes on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the adjoining MCU Fatigue. It's mostly Deadpool 3 in News/Announcements (01:22:51), and the only trailer discussed (01:24:31) is the upcoming Flash movie from DC--which I'm sure everyone has thoughts about, so let me hear yours! Last is Anime News (01:29:58) and my own personal current list, again. What are you watching this season, and what are your personal hidden gem shows? That's all folks! Come back next week for more Tarot lessons, a new Manga of the Week, March comic book previews, and depending on the day I record, the first episode of Mandalorian season 3 reviewed! Sweat it out, in the meantime, and keep it cool.

Tarot Lessons this week 0:08:52 starts our deep dive into the 22 cards of the traditional Major Arcana, starting with this episode's #0, the Fool. I go through descriptions from official reference sources as well as meanings gathered in my own study notes, as well as other depiction and variation of the Fool, a tiny bit of history of the card, and of course, the Natasha Yglesias Anime Tarot archetypes, still an excellent and fun teaching tool! And to add some spice, I also go into some light pop culture references to the Fool card that can be found, too! Our Manga segment 0:29:42 focuses mostly on our new Manga of the Week: Witch Watch, by Kenta Shinohara! J'adore! And I hope you enjoy it, too. I have a little Manga News 0:38:57 that I'm still working on finding my footing for the weekly episodes, so bear with me as I settle on a design I like, and let me know what you want more of. The Comic Books segment 0:44:26 features what's new in shops this week, with a few golden keys to be sure to grab. Previous weeks' Recent Reads and Event catch-up 0:53:47 features summary of Dark Web: Finale, Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1; Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn, DC's Harley Quinn's Romances, DC Power: A Celebration, Purgatori Must Die! #2, and All Against All #1 & 2, which might be my favorite from the bunch. In TV/Movies 01:11:38, we talk New and Noteworthy (including the illustrious Cunk on Earth and the surprising Shrinking); in Announcements 01:15:46 there's the now-usual DCU nonsense, and the brand new announcement of Amazon's live-action Spider-Man Noir show project! For Anime 01:21:26, there's a bit of news on Demon Slayer season 3 before my own show updates, as I continue to search for a new hidden gem to take me by storm. As for Current Shows 01:25:54, I only have a few things to say on the Bad Batch season 2 so far, but that *REDACTED* was WILD and I want MORE Star Wars like THAT! That's all folks! Have a happy Valentine's/Lupercalia, however you choose to do so, and be sure to check back next week for a new episode covering Tarot's car #1, The Magician, a new Manga of the Week, more comic books, more news and theories, and a ton of fun for you and me both!

It felt appropriate, so I begin this week's episode with “The Way It Is,” by William Stafford, which was recently shared with me by a friend. I hope you enjoy it, too!
The episode proper begins with News, including the obituary for Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams from the 1960's TV show. She led a unique life, and I hope her children and grandchildren find comfort in the successful legacy her portrayal of Wednesday left behind. Next in News is some chat about Disney's Dreamlight Valley game, specifically the latest updates that were announced 0:15:37. I've been ridiculously hooked on this game, and am excited to see what content they put out this year! Also announced this week was the "Final Season" of Attack on Titan 0:21:24, which might feel like deja vu, and for good reason! all explained here. Of course, I am going over the newly announced DCU Slate 0:24:35, too. How could I not? I have a good deal of insight on a number of these projects, and would LOVE to hear what others think of the announcements and limited details that were provided! Chat away in the discord, linked below! This week continues part two of our Tarot Studies 0:52:14, moving along this week with a fairly general History of Tarot, which covers a number of historical identities and moments in the cultural relevance of the decks. The Major Arcana is introduced 1:05:54, and then so is the Deck of the Month for February 1:10:08 : Modern Witch Tarot Deck by Lisa Sterle (with an introduction by Vita Ayala). If you recognize those names, it's because they're both pretty heavily involved in the comic boo world, too! I love it when hobbies/interests collide. In our Manga segment 1:14:22, this week's Manga of the Week is My Dress Up Darling by Shinichi Fukuda! I have a deep love of both the manga and anime; this was chosen because volume 7 of the English edition is arriving in stores the day I am posting this episode, and as of me writing this summary, I already finished reading it! Sad face, but also -- it was so goooood! We've officially passed where the anime has run to so far. There is even a little Manga News 01:20:59 at the end of the segment, with one or two updates and a little gushing over Witch Watch, my current ShonenJump app obsession! For the Comic Books segment 01:22:41, I go over what is new and interesting (IMO) this week, as well as what to look forward to in comic releases over the rest of the month! In the previous week's Picks/Reads as well as catch-up reading coverage 01:27:30, I go over a brief explanation of Marvel's Sins of Sinister mini-event, update the latest for Lazarus Planet at DC, and have a few other fun ones to share! Finally, the Shows & Movies segment 01:35:34 kicks off for 2023 with what has been New and Noteworthy since the last 2022 episode, and the list is quite varied! I have limited coverage of Trailers that have premiered since 2022 as well 01:42:25, because frankly it is a LOT, and we can talk more about those projects as they get closer to premiering. My new ANIME section 01:44:53 h as a lot to cover, including what I've been watching in my spare time, what I've currently got on my simulcast (sort of) watch list, even including things I'm still on the fence for. And last, I speak just a minute or two on Teen Titans season 4 01:49:21, and how part 1 ended. And that's the week! Next week will feature a lot of the same, but updated, including our first Tarot Card Lesson proper, covering the first card in the Major Arcana, the Fool. More comics, more sweatiness, and more celebration of life, coming next week! in the meantime, check out my (very much in-progress) reading summary for Big Barda, co-star of the coming Valentine's Day romance podcast special!
