We pick up another new character this week as we read “Silk: The Life and Times of Cindy Moon” by Robbie Thompson. This Spider-verse event follow-up goes in-depth on Cindy Moon’s life after being rescued from her underground bunker. The premise is very cape-comics, but the result is a solid comic. We talk about the marriage of art and narration, the likability of Cindy Moon as a character, and why this doesn’t feel like a hard place to get into a new character, even with the convoluted origin. Plus, Andy shops for dollhouse furniture and David doesn’t want to hear your TLJ opinion.

It’s the second episode in our ‘Podcaster’s Choice, vol. 2’ series as we read “Thor: Who Holds the Hammer?” by Jason Aaron. We’ve eclipsed 300 episodes, so we’re going back to read the second volume of some of our favorites. This week, Andy chose the followup to episode 227’s “Thor: Goddess of Thunder.” We talk about the juicy Odin family drama and how it immediately adds depth to storytelling, mull over who else may have been worthy to hold Mjolnir, and discuss the problems with comic book numbering and renumbering.

Our “Strokin’ Ego’s Ego” comes to a close as we read “Astonishing Thor,” five-issue miniseries by Robert Rodi. In this insane comic, the living planet Ego is alerted to the existence of his long-lost Brother, but not all reunions are joyful! Thor’s in this comic, too, and so are cosmic beings and an elemental but we ain’t here for that. We talk about the lore behind Ego, the ridiculousness of this book, and the morals of beings whose minds we simply cannot comprehend.
