Episode 218- Astra's "Advanture"- Astro City #02

Published: Sept. 19, 2017, 6 a.m.

In this week's ball-"advanturing" episode, the spotlight swivels back to Astro City. What is that makes Astro City so awesome? Well, the fact that it's awesome helps.

And this week is the start of something special (and awesome!) (and an "advanture"!) because Uncle Magnus begins analyzing, picking apart and pondering Astro City #02. Which should be enough all by itself but added to that is the fact that this is the beginning of the very first multi-part Astro City story!

What an "advanture"! How awesome!

So what's the life of a kid like when she's raised inside the superhero community and frequently has to duke it out with supervillains before dinnertime?

What effect does that have on her social life?

And how exactly does one play hopscotch anyway?

All these questions plus many, many more are answered in this awesome "advanturous" episode!

Did Stan Lee use this many exclamation points back in the old days?

No!

So what are you waiting for? Start listening right now! Otherwise your children will never learn how to play hopscotch.

Also this week, His Excellency Magnus re-announces again an upcoming brand new megaseries coming soon to a podcast receiver near you in the not-too-distant future very soon in a short time! It won't be long now!

Due to the avalanche of awesomeness, there's just no time for listener feedback this week. But there's some time for some brand-spanking new feed-forward! Yes indeedy, the show about Astro City #01 resulted in feedback which His Excellency decided could only be handled in this episode (which is about Astro City #02, get the picture?).

No time for feedback though.

Anyway. But Magnus has slowly been getting caught up lately. There's been some feedback recently so don't be left out! You too can offer your feeble effort at tribute whenever you want! Yes indeed, you humble serfs are always welcome to kiss your benevolent leader's ring. Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor. The email address to use is trentusmagnus@gmail.com as the other seems to be having technical problems.

In an another sublime act of truly ball-shriveling magnanimity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, requests may be sent to trentusmagnus@gmail.com for the aforementioned corrupt DiManzocorp interns (who probably lack souls) to review, whereupon your leader might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that's a promise!
