From during the heart of the final Ocean To Ocean shows, the guys talk how Tori’s discography and characters transcend the expectations of most musicians, outlasting contemporaries and countless “copycats” – so who is she and what are the characters, stories, places, and elements that run through her music?

First up – we’ve got NYCC news: Daredevil: Born Again release date, Daredevil: Cold Day In Hell by Soule & McNiven, Ultimate Wolverine, Zdarsky leaving Batman for Loeb & Lee, Rise of Emperor Doom & Doom Academy, Astonishing Infinity Comics, the return of Vertigo, the TRIPLING DOWN on Absolute DC, and that’s JUST FOR STARTERS. Then it’s time to go ALL number ones – starting off with the all new Iron Man #1 by Spencer Ackerman before leading into Alien: Romulus #1 – the “official” prequel (but like…comic prequels, amirite?). Then, over to DC for a double dose of new takes on longtime comic royalty – beginning with Absolute Wonder Woman, the title with the largest bug-to-hero ratio on the cover in a long time before the long-awaited Green Lantern Dark finally lights up the episode. It’s all this and more on an all new X Is For Podcast!

That means it’s time to think about the origin of Batman, the origin of my Batman fandom, and more by comparing the at-the-time definitive origin stories: Batman Year One (Batman #404 - 407 [02/87 - 05/87]) vs Haunted Night (Legend Of The Dark Knight Halloween Special #1 - 3 [1993 - 1995]), Batman Year Two  (Detective Comics #575 – 578 [06/87 - 06/87]) vs The Long Halloween (Chapter One - Thirteen [12/96 - 12/97]), and Batman Year Three (Batman #436 – 436 [08/89 - 09/89]) vs Dark Victory (Chapter Zero - Thirteen [11/99 - 12/00])!

But it's cool because Gladiator is so hot it really doesn't matter. Then – Daredevil spends much of the 1960s searching for an identity. Ka-Zar's jungle vibes and his weird crime-boy brother do not help this journey, but it's still a fun romp. Plus holy &$*& 1960s letters pages were savage! (Beware of  Pat, Matt!!) Next – The holidays are a time for family! This Thanksgiving weekend installment sees the return of Producer Kevo, so our Billy Club family can discuss exactly that: family, and its significance to one recently-gilded hornhead. Daredevil's surprising (and significant!) appearance in She-Hulk's finale has significantly amped up our excitement for Charlie's and Matt's futures with the MCU, and our team has gathered to praise the former's hard work and look forward to what the latter has in store. Last – It's that time of year where everyone starts posting their holiday and end of year best episodes -- and The Billy Club is swinging in with a special look at one of the team's all time favorite issues!

]]> 10190 Daredevil (Vol 1) #9-14 & A Look Back at SDCC 2022! https://www.cageclub.me/xi4p459/ As Daredevil continues to struggle to develop its voice as a title, the characters continue to evolve and transform into the heroes we know them as today. In Daredevil #9, Matt gets his first “you-may-get-your-sight-back” story as well as the first DD villain who never shows up again – in fact, never even sees mention again. Klaus Kreuger acts as a rough Doctor Doom stand-in, and finds himself slipped into Matt & Foggy’s past, and then just as easily slips right back out again. But of course, regardless of anything else, Matt’s struggles against ableism are far from over. Next – Daredevil continues to transform as a title before The Billy Club’s eyes! Join Nico and Tori as they take a look at Wally Wood’s Daredevil script, a story taking DD from his previous element to the next stage of his storytelling – a crime/superhero hybrid! The Organizer recruits The Organization (convenient!) featuring Cat-Man, Frog-Man, Bird-Man, & Ape-Man to cause a crimewave as Foggy Nelson becomes a political figure. In some ways, these are the base elements of what will become Daredevil’s building blocks going forward, but at the same time, this silly story never moves to where it needs to to sustain the Crimson Crusader and his place in the Marvel Universe! Then – Well, we knew this was coming. In an effort to create more Daredevil, Daredevil stops being Daredevil, exactly. Daredevil makes the switch to monthly and in, to accommodate additional issues, a three-part story about Ka-Zar completely replaces the title. It’s a weird choice. Ka-Zar, while a staple of the Marvel Universe, is not a great fit for Daredevil and the weird dynamic created by forcing Daredevil into a story in his own title meant to facilitate crafting a bigger picture for the burgeoning comic line, Daredevil truly begins to get lost in the lack of an identity presented by being not-quite-Spider-Man-for-adults. Last – It's been an exciting weekend for Daredevil fans!! Your Billy Club hosts Nico & Tori couldn't be more thrilled about all of the amazing news that came from San Diego ComicCon this year, so we've put together a little reaction special just to talk about it! Don't worry, they'll be back with their usual DD deep dives on our next installment. Until then, stay fearless!

]]> 9828 The Billy Club: Daredevil (Vol 1) #7-8 & Fantastic Four (Vol 1) #39-40! https://www.cageclub.me/xi4p457/ Few Marvel heroes stretch back as far as Namor: The Sub-Mariner does through canon, and a year into Daredevil’s run, the two characters come against one another! In Daredevil #7, Namor WIPES THE FLOOR with Daredevil, kicking his ass in the air, on land, and underwater. But despite this power imbalance, Namor sees the worth in Daredevil and treats him with dignity, only leaving him in defeat, instead of destroyed. Then – Marvel’s first family made contact with Daredevil back in DD #2, our second episode. Once again, the FF & DD find themselves teaming up, and this time MM, RR, SS, & Co are facing off against D(r)D for the BB. Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Matt Murdock, Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Doctor Doom, and Baxter Building, respectively. The story here focuses far more on the FF with DD in more of a support role, which suits him just fine. Stepping in, and once again hopelessly outmatched, against Doctor Doom while a powerless Fantastic Four flounder, Daredevil gives a solid 20 pages in this two part Billy Club Bonus appearance! Last – Daredevil’s rogues gallery is known for a number of incredible, threatening villains, representing menaces of all kinds. Whether it’s Kingpin, Bullseye, or yes, even The Beast of The Hand, the villains of Daredevil cover the peak-human, the not-so-human, and the all-powerful. However, none of those guys show up until later. And for every early Purple Man and The Owl, there’s Stiltman, the most under-appreciated Daredevil villain of them all. In a story full of twists and turns and a pivoting point for the awkward trio-romance, more than just the Stiltman comeths. Cometh? Comeths. Sure.

Then – Early Daredevil is punctuated by unusual, and sometimes forgettable villains – Matador falls somewhere between. In an issue filled with strange appropriation, advances for the romance subplot, and more “is Daredevil a coward” nonsense, Daredevil #5 is a pinnacle 60s issue of the hornhead’s adventures. There’s crazy costumes, wild backstories, and more as Nico and Tori continue to understand the world of Murdock and Nelson and navigate their adventures in The Billy Club. Last – Daredevil enters his biggest adventure so far as Nico and Tori follow Daredevil into his first multi-villain challenge. Mr Fear calls together the Fellowship of Fear to take on the Man Without Fear, enlisting the help of Ox and Eel.

Then – The journey into Hell's Kitchen continues for Nico & Tori as they examine the UNBELIEVABLE second issue of Daredevil! The Man Without Fear (or as he still is, The Yellow-Bellied Fear-Man) takes on Spider-Man's nemesis, Electro, and even meet The Fantastic Four!

Next – An all-time fav foe of Daredevil's flies into Hell's Kitchen as Nico & Tori examine the game-changing third issue of Daredevil, as the book finally introduces THE OWL! The saga of Karen Page and her complicated relationships with the men in her life and her own independence continues to unfold in the pages of one of the most defining early issues of Daredevil ever. Finally – He’s here! Run! Hide! It’s Killgrave, the Purple Man, in his first absurd, terrifying appearance! Killgrave goes on to menace the Marvel Universe like few foes before, and this is where he gets his start against ol’ hornhead.

Nico and TK wanted to take a look at the MC2 to understand how such a promising line lost steam quickly in the larger perspective of comics but would go on in some form to be published for over 20 years. The journey took them from Spider-Girl and the initial line of J2 & A-Next to Fantastic Five and Wild Thing before coming to a sudden stop with Darkdevil and The Buzz. Spider-Girl lasted years by herself before the Last Standing double-header revitalized the line into an Amazing place with the return of Avengers Next & Fantastic Five, plus an American Dream mini. Now, the Spectacular era comes to an end – twice – before it is truly THE END for Spider-Girl. Kick things off with Spectacular Spider-Girl volume one’s abrupt conclusions (0:00:00) before turning things over to the short-lived second era of Spectacular with the mini-series adaptation of what was clearly intended to be the final run of digital comics (0:40:30). Lastly, join the team as they almost say goodbye to Spider-Girl with Spider-Girl: The End, a tragic finale for Mayhem but a possibly promising new beginning for May Day (1:18:30) as the team begins to plan MC2.5, a look at all the relevant and connected stories from the 616 and beyond that bring it all back to 982.

Seth presents the first truly compelling, difficult to defeat villain for Spider-Girl in sometime in volume 10.

]]> 5507 XI4P AU: Spider-Girl Volume 04-05, The Buzz Volume 01, & Darkdevil Volume 01! https://cageclub.me/XI4P337 It’s the final multi-title episode of the MC2 universe…for now! After last episode’s team least-fav Fantastic Five and team fav Wild Thing matched with more Spider-Girl, this episode delivers the same format but to a much greater degree of success. First up, Spider-Girl delivers a double dose of strong volumes. Starting with volume 4, Spider-Girl sees a Wizard one-half special edition (yeah, the 90s, man), then faces off against Raptor, Green Goblin, and even teams up with her Dad!? (0:00:00) Then, join Spider-Girl for her first major title anniversary – 25, the powerless anniversary?! May Day loses her abilities in a story that will define multiple volumes but also meets Dragonfist, Nancy Lu, and we meet Reilly Tyne – a mysterious new figure in the MC2. (1:16:30) Then, join the team as they examine the final two side titles in the MC for almost 5 full years! The Buzz sees the eponymous team favorite cool guy - from his origin to a huge adventure (and a buncha gay overtones) – and propels the hero into a major new position in the MC2! (1:47:45) Then in what is perhaps the strangest, most complicated and convoluted yet compelling and emotionally engaging MC2 story ever, the origin of Darkdevil is made…sort of clear. Kinda. Nico and TK examine how the Darkdevil miniseries defines previously unclear situations, evolves the MC2 universe, and introduces EVEN MORE EFFING QUESTIONS. WHHHAAAT.

Start things off with the story that began everything – What If #105 reprinted as Spider-Girl #0, followed by May Day’s first proper arc! She swings, she slings, she…is feeling loose and slamming heat?
