271 – Abs for Days (The Phalanx Covenant, Part 1 of 3)

In which we’re finally both back in the virtual studio; Generation X is the new Inferno; the Phalanx Covenant begins; we’re not talking about Hickman in our coverage of this story; Banshee is the adult in the room; the Phalanx is pretty sexist; and gross powers are cool.

* Peter Sís
* The Phalanx Covenant
* “Generation Next” (but not Generation Next)
