Happy Pride! We're back reading the incredible SFSX (pronounced Safe Sex) by Tina Horn. It's the most explicit thing we've ever read on the show, but it's also one of the most prescient and invites you to kill the cop in your brain that tells you to get in line or worry about what other people are doing with their lives or bodies. There is usually a joke here.

SFSX Vol 1 Protection is by Tina Horn, Rye Hickman, Michael Dowling, Alejandra Gutierrez, Tula Lotay, Lauren McCubbins, Steve Wands and Chris O'Halloran. Photos by Maxell Lander and Blunt. Shoe paintings by Tamara Santibanez and Merch Design by Jacq the Stripper.

Absolute Mojoverse Episode 5: Absolute Trinity Guest Artists

Absolute Mojoverse is back to shovel refuse, freeze the rich, and trick the devil himself as we read the Absolute Trinity. Each book has incredible guest art, Carmine Di Giandomenico for Absolute Superman, Marcos Martin and Muntsa Vicente for Absolute Batman and Mattia De Iulis for Absolute Wonder Woman. For a publishing line with such iconoclastic art to have really intentional guest artists is one of the little things that we love about the Absolute Universe.

This week the results from our very first fan poll as we read X-Men: The Trial of Magneto: a crossover that ties up loose threads of X-Factor, the book that introduces the Waiting Room, and Wanda trying to make up for the Decimation. Can the book hold the weight of all of that narrative pressure while still being fun and entertaining? Yes, more or less!

Note: for a brief moment Matt gets Warren Ellis and Jeff Loeb mixed up, but we figure it out pretty quick so just hang in there.
