IDEAS DON'T BLEED | Uncanny X-Men Retrospective, part one

WELCOME BACK TO IDEAS DON’T BLEED!

This week, we are joined by TWO very special guests: Kelly Thompson (Black Widow / Captain Marvel / Amazing Spider-Man) returns along with Ed Brisson (Predator / Batman Incorporated / Beyond the Breach) as we look back on their collaboration with Matt on Uncanny X-Men!

IDB is an all-new weekly podcast presented by Ashcan Press and featuring Matthew Rosenberg, the Supple Boiz, and wonderful guests from the world of comic books!

Our theme song is “Where’s the Poison” by Summer People

Enjoy!

Hey again.

So this episode is a little different. This is actually something Kelly, Ed, and I talked about doing a while ago but never got around to. We all talk regularly and are pretty close friends (despite Ed’s obvious disdain for me on the podcast), so getting together to discuss our 10 issue run of Uncanny X-Men made a lot of sense to us. It seemed like a fun way to relive a crazy moment in all of our careers, give fans a behind the scenes glimpse at the book, and maybe even learn some stuff about ourselves. It was Kelly who really pushed for this to actually happen though, but she doesn’t have a podcast and I do, so I win.

Meanwhile I’m trying to not feel weird about the fact that my internet dropped out and I disappear from the show for 4 minutes and not only does no one notice, but the show actually runs much better. But the joke is on them because while I was waiting for my modem to reboot I made myself an egg cream and they just had to keep talking to each other about Infinity Stones or something.

To read the complete series you can pick up UNCANNY X-MEN: DISASSEMBLED in paperback or fancy hardcover wherever comics are sold. And if you want to see what the book is all about, you can read the first issue for free here. I’m not sure Marvel knows that that is up there, so maybe keep this between us. Maybe they do? I don’t know. I guess a few Marvel folks read this newsletter. Everyone be cool.

You should check out Ed’s excellent newsletter here to stay up to date on all the cool stuff he has going on.

I shouldn’t have to tell you where to find Kelly’s newsletter since she’s basically the cohost of this show at this point, but just in case you missed it you can click here.

A big thanks to all our collaborators on UNCANNY X-MEN for making it beautiful and fun- Mahmud Asrar, R.B. Silva, Adriano Di Benedetto, Yildiray Cinar, Pere Pérez, Rachelle Rosenberg, Mirko Colak, Ibraim Roberson, Mark Bagley, Andrew Hennessey, Guru-eFX, Joe Caramagna, Chris Eliopoulos, Leinil Francis Yu, Edgar Delgado, Elizabeth Torque, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Roberto Poggi, Matt Milla, and Jason Keith.

And lastly, a huge loving thanks to our editors for putting up with us, making sure the book came out, and making sure it was good- Chris Robinson, Darren Shan, and Jordan D. White.

As always you can listen to older episodes of IDEAS DON’T BLEED here or wherever you get your podcasts. And if you aren’t subscribed to this newsletter you can do so below. Get digital comics, discounts on cool stuff, new podcasts sent to you every week, and even get comics not available anywhere else.

Tune in next week for part two to see if Ed makes me cry.
