We're re-reading Excalibur, one issue per week, for 126+ weeks.

Our first episode, "Episode 0: Origins & Sword is Drawn," dropped on Feb. 20th. New episodes are available every Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts!
We also write and talk about other things related to comics and pop culture in our "day jobs" as academics. Here, though, we're talking about the 1988-1998 Marvel comic book series Excalibur, the whole Excalibur, and nothing but Excalibur. We approach our discussions as "aca-fans" — that is, academics who are also fans. Except in this case, our fandom comes first — we wouldn't be talking about Excalibur for 126 hours if we weren't unhealthily obsessed!
Anna is a writer, talker, PhD-haver, part-time university instructor, and Kurt Wagner’s (unofficial) PR Manager. She’s the editor of the essay anthology Supersex: Sexuality, Fantasy, and the Superhero, co-host of the podcast Three Panel Contrast, and an occasional contributor to "The Claremont Run." She wants to be the Kurt of the group, but is probably Rachel (minus the soul-crushing trauma).
Mav is a PhD candidate at Duquesne University, and an adjunct instructor of English, Communications, and Cultural Studies. He's a lifelong comic book fan, writer, and artist. He's also an avid blogger, photographer, and cultural and political critic, and co-host of the VoxPopcast podcast. Oh, and he used to be a professional wrestler... no really!
Andrew is a lecturer at St. Jerome’s University. He's also the project lead of “The Claremont Run,” the largest academic study of Chris Claremont’s X-Men comics, and regularly publishes work on Claremont and comics. Andrew understands and respects that some people would like him to forgive Brian for his treatment of Meggan, but Andrew will never forgive Brian for his treatment of Meggan.
