"See You at the Crossroads"

Episode 47: “See You at the Crossroads”Well, we’ve bicc’ed off most of the Mantlo threads and are into Hudnall proper. We cover three issues this week and they’re…interesting?! [upward vocal fry] We get into some of the neat things going on in these pages and a lot of the not-so-neat things. We also discuss Malört, losing Beta Flight for the next while, AI chatbots, and Goethe and The Sorrows of Young Werther. So kind of a typical episode for us, we suppose.Issues discussed:Alpha Flight #71 - “Power Plays” - cover date June 1989Writer is James D.
