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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
