I can't believe I forgot to also mention Kirby Air Riders, the biggest reason I'm excited to have a Switch 2 right now. One can never have too much Kirby. 🩷

I'm joining the chorus here to say that shirt looks awesome. I hope you're excited for the Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 Edition in August because I certainly am. Enjoy the new Nintendo generation!

The podcast episode showed up in my Pocket Casts feed! And weirdly, it says it showed up on June 1, when it was definitely not present until recently. I think you're all good now.

I hope they can help! I wouldn't want you to lose listeners on one of your biggest platforms because of some weird hiccup on their side. Hopefully next week's episode comes through on Sunday like it always has. I look forward to it!

Just to give an update, another one of my weekly podcasts showed up in Pocket Casts today as expected, but Easy Allies still hasn't. I'll report back if it ever does show up for your awareness.

Thanks for looking into it! I'll see if any of my other weekly podcasts have issues this week. For now, I'll check out the YouTube upload instead.

Any chance something changed on your end with this episode such that it wouldn't show up in an app like Pocket Casts? It has always reliably shown up for me, but it didn't appear today.

I went from indifferent about Donkey Kong's 3D design to quite positive about his new one. I'm sure not everyone is happy about it, but the new look has endeared me to him a lot.

I know they're a dentist, but they were cheap and available. Hopefully the issue is teeth related.

"Please do not touch, climb or sit on Link!" 🤨
Also, so many Kirbys! I see many good reasons to visit.

Yeah, I have no idea how spam filters work, but that sounds like a good guess to me.

Weirdly, I think this is the first time your newsletter went to my spam folder. I'm pretty sure all the others went straight to my inbox. Thanks for making me check!
P.S.: Nice to hear about FCBD and its importance to you! It's something I read about but never have bothered to participate in.

I never could have guessed the heartache embedded in this "...right???".

New lore: DK doesn't race to win. He's on the road seeking vengeance.

I'd heard for a long time that the jump in quality from the first game to the second was big, so I was eagerly awaiting a localization. It didn't disappoint! The biggest surprise for me was how much I liked Eustace.
I'm glad you really liked it, too!

I can confirm! After previously not being able to order it in March, my local store could place an order for me this past weekend.

That is sooooo much better than the "ChaChad game" I was playing around with.

Is Chadley among the available Chads?

I haven't been checking daily, but I did check the app again this morning. After clearing my cache, the latest Avengers Academy loaded successfully! Hopefully that means everyone can now read it on every platform.
Thanks for your help!

And here I was, worrying I was being too mean calling it a little scary.
comment in response to

On the one hand, up close...the Slime does become a little scary. I'll admit it. On the other hand, though, it's round with big eyes, which is 95% of what makes the best characters the best! So I'm still going to say the world can never have too many Slimes, and I welcome yours to this life.
comment in response to

Honestly...your style is super charming. It reminds me of an old newspaper comic. Plus, the world can never have too many Slimes or Chocobos!

No need to apologize, but I appreciate you flagging this to them. You deserve all the readers you can get with no tech issues getting in the way!

I found the Marvel site a little hard to navigate. If you're prone to struggle like me, benefit from my adventure and take the hopefully correct direct link: www.marvel.com/comics/issue...

It could be just me, so I don't mean to trouble you! The Reddit reports I'm seeing talk about specific print issues, which are broken for me, too. Good news, though! I found your comic works in my laptop browser! Reading now. 😀

Android Pixel 9 Pro and also tried once on my Chromebook via the Android app. Un/reinstalled, cleared cache, etc. It's not just your comic not loading; so far, it's every Infinity Comic I've tried. The print comics are fine. 🤷♂️

I'm sorry to report that I can't get this issue to load on Marvel Unlimited. I've contacted support. As the author, I just wanted you to be aware that some may be having this problem; per Reddit, it's an issue affecting multiple comics. I'm looking forward to reading this soon!

I wish I lived near Toronto. These sound like incredibly joyful and playful events. If I ever plan a visit to Toronto, I may try to plan it around your programming.
The showings seem like a lot of work to organize, but even from afar, I get some happiness from knowing they exist. Thank you!

I've said it once and I'll say it again because a good boy deserves it:
Gus, you look so handsome and debonair! Happy birthday!

I appreciated your inclusion of that silhouetted scene! (No specifics to avoid spoilers.) I'm not a Marvel lore expert, but it makes me smile to see you build on the few bits of history I know. For those who are lore experts, they must love your dedication.
Very excited to see where next week goes!

I just stopped by my local comic shop and preordered* my first book!
*Actually, they told me it wasn't available for preorder yet, but they made a note and said they'd order it for me once it is.

Every year, you gift me the opportunity to learn about a lot of movies I've never seen that perhaps I should be watching. Plus, I get to look at dogs. I'm sure this thread takes a lot of time to assemble, so thank you for making it again and again!

I imagine this might be a bittersweet thing to read, but I remembered earlier today that it was a skip week and felt sad. (I hope the "sweet" part hits you harder.) Your issues of Avengers Academy are often a good mood booster. I'm looking forward to next week!

1. Alarmo!
2. That's how you know you're loved. ❤️
3. I hope you get a very happy reaction when you return home!

I'm pretty sure I prioritized playing it years ago because of your recommendation! I hope you like Metaphor just as much.

Enjoy! I've mostly heard great things! It's the Atlus Persona-style game I've come closest to playing (outside of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, which I did play).

Anthony! Just...thank you. 😊 What a lovely, affirming world you've created in these issues. I'm about ready to start gifting Marvel Unlimited subs to friends for them to read your work.

I was brushing my teeth when I began reading this and almost did a spit take when I read the dialogue about Justin and The Enchantress's last encounter.
I *loved* this issue. Definitely got excited when that blessing/curse was uttered, and I was right to feel that way.

Companies have been doing those animated broadcasts of live sports, and I've never been that interested.
However, they've also never done a Mario version. I'd cheer on Chuck any day he needs it!

Congratulations to you and your husband! That's wonderful. It makes me happy to see you two happy.

These two are a delight! Also, I'm very intrigued by those toys at the end. I know it's probably not Orville Peck, but that's Orville Peck to me.

I actually used this to complete a platforming challenge very recently! So, it has its gameplay uses, too.
Honestly, the game does so much to sell the idea that these are brothers who love each other. Its title clicked for me after seeing this displayed in so many parts of the game.

Maybe it's silly of me to post a comment across two platforms, but hey, extra engagement only helps, right? Still glad you loved it! Also learned from the replies here that there are difficulty settings! My interest is rising.

I loved it! Thank you for writing this! The perspective chosen for this issue was lovely to read.
I recognized most but not all of the historical appearances referenced. Maybe fans can assemble a list of all the sightings. They'd be fun to revisit.
Can't wait for winter term and Valentine's Day!
