Good grief....I am starting off the new season with a classic comic strip. And a guy named Charlie Brown. This is the beginning of a series where I talk about comic strips and characters that is still in our culture. The crew from the Peanuts and the creator, Charles Shulz, is worth a conversation. Thank you for taking the time to listen.

I want to truly thank you for taking the time to listen. This episode I talk about the season finale of X-Men '97 and have a few words about what is to come possibly in the second season. Also, I am going to take a break from posting for two weeks. I do recommend trying some of the the older episodes and if you haven't. Hope you are doing well and see you in season 4.

This episode was inspired by conversations I had with people that have never went to a comic book convention. This is my attempt to explain the experience and what to expect there. Also, the Motor City Comic Con is coming up, so I talk about some of the people that is scheduled to show up and even have a Walker of Worlds game going on. If you haven't went to one before, I recommend at least going to one for the experience. Might actually be fun :).

In this episode, I talk about the X-Men '97 animated series episode that seems to have crossed an interesting line. In episode 9, we see this series weave an iconic comic book arc into the animated series. Join me as I talk about some of the Easter Eggs and essentially talk about the episode. Of course, spoilers ahead and thank you for taking the time to listen.

I am getting closer to 40 episodes in season 3. That is mind blowing and I am grateful for those that have listened. In this episode, I talk about episode 7 of X-Men '97, Bright Eyes. I will take some down time soon and plan to come back with more titles from different places. Email me with any requests, ideas, or just because. I hope you enjoy and learn something.

Side note: OZT means Operation Zero Tolerance. A story line in the xmen in '97.
