Welcome to the ninth episode of Best Issue Ever! This episode's issue is Excalibur #71, which has an enormous list of creators working on it, so tune in to hear the whole shebang. This was chosen by D'Manda Martini!

D'Manda is a drag queen cosplayer with a penchant for z-list superheroes, which makes her a perfect guest for this show specifically. You can follow her @dmandamartini across social media platforms, and I recommend it! She appears at many conventions every year, so give her a follow to find out where she'll be next. Check out her linktree!

D'Manda references an article written by Chris Vazquez about the Scarlet Witch's queer fans in this post. It appeared on the Washington Post in 2022 and is linked to here.

This podcast is recorded in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is edited by Sara Century. The theme music is provided by Earth Control Pill, whose work is on Bandcamp.
