Today we're taking a look at Peter David's classic run on X-Factor! We get a spotlight focus on Jamie Madrox aka Multiple Man, we meet Strong Guy, and we get a nice new team of mutants to work with.

We're reading his first arc in issues #71-75 and then jumping forward to a fun therapy issue with #87.

It gets weird.

Then we're getting to the end of our long read of Thunderbolts with #24, where Citizen V stops being a dudette in the shadows!

Next Time: We check out Peter David's next run with X-Factor in X-Factor (2005) #1-6!

We've got Freaky Friday Fever and we're reading three body swap stories that are all over the map!

Daredevil and Doctor Doom swap places in Daredevil #37 & 38!

Emma Frost spends some time in Iceman's body in Uncanny X-Men #314!

High school-aged Peter Parker trades places with Wolverine in Ultimate Spider-Man #66 & 67!

And we're still continuing Thunderbolts with #23, featuring an unexpected cameo from U.S. Agent.

Next Time: Peter David's first X-Factor run with issues X-Factor 71-75 & 87!

Did you know Superman hates racism? It's true, he's been fighting against it for decades now!

We're taking a look at Superman Smashes the Klan from 2019 by Gene Luen Yang and art by Gurihiru, which is not just set in the 1940s, but also based on an old radio play from the 1940s.

As the Klan makes their presence known in Metropolis to scare away a new Chinese family, Clark learns more about embracing his alien origins.

Then we continue Thunderbolts with issue #22, where Hercules comes in to cause some chaos.

• Ultimate Spider-Man #66-67 (Spider-Man & Wolverine)
• Uncanny X-men #314 (Iceman & Emma Frost)
• Daredevil #37 (Daredevil & Dr. Doom)

It's time for some Starman!

We're taking a look at James Robinson's 1995 reboot of the golden age character with art from Tony Harris, and we get to meet FIVE Starmen in this book!

He's not exactly a household name. I barely even knew there was one Starman. We learn all about them in issues 0-5.

Then we're continuing with Thunderbolts #21, where Hawkeye is offering to lead the team!

When you mix Chris Claremont with Frank Miller, you get Wolverine and ninjas. It's as simple as that.

We're taking a look at Wolverine's first self-titled comic, a 4-issue mini-series from 1982 where Logan goes to Japan and lots of people die.

Then the Thunderbolts start heading in a new direction with issue #20, where a surprise guest wants to join the team!

Hot on the heels of Kurt Busiek's take on a real-world(ish) Clark Kent, we're reading his Batman focused followup called Creature of the Night from 2017, with art by John Paul Leon.

We meet a young kid in a non-superhero world named Bruce Wainwright who's obsessed with Batman comics, and that doesn't really change after his parents get murdered by robbers.

So what's the deal with this Batman that starts showing up immediately?

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #19, featuring the winner of the Wizard Create-A-Villain contest!

We're double-dipping on Kurt Busiek today!

We're still continuing his run on Thunderbolts with #18 and the rudest French supervillain you'll ever meet, but first we're reading Superman: Secret Identity from 2004, with Stuart Immonen on art.

It's a story about a regular kid named Clark Kent in a regular universe where superheroes only exist in comics, who gets ridiculed constantly for his name. And then he gets powers. Whoa!

Join us as we follow this variant Clark Kent through a full lifetime, and we discuss the duality of Busiek.

It's only been about 10 years since we read the first 5 issues of Alan Moore and Gene Ha's Top Ten, but now we're finishing the full first season with issues 6 through 12.

As the precinct deals with criminals on multiple fronts, there's one question on everyone's lips: What's Sergeant Dog Cop up to?

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #17, which had a sword fight, an exploding castle, and a dude who can control gravity.

Next Time - Superman: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek & Stuart Immonen
