Steve: Would you say that’s a particular problem for Marvel? Or do you think there’s a charm in having Wikipedia open while you read your first ever X-Men comics, to help learn backstories and origins?
Rachel: I think it’s a problem fairly common to shared-universe characters who’ve been around for the better part of a century. If someone did a similar podcast with the DCU, I’d listen in a minute, because I am so completely intimidated by that timeline that I don’t even know where to start.
Firstly: go read this interview Steve Morris did with Rachel and Miles, who X-Plain the X-Men on a weekly basis (Also, if you don’t listen to that podcast, then go and listen to that podcast).
Secondly: I made a joke awhile back on Twitter about wanting to do an X-Plain the X-Men for the Justice League, and now that I’ve seen Rachel talk about someone doing a similar podcast for the DCU, I really want to do it. This is clearly a bad idea and Rachel is accidentally enabling me without even know it.
