Good to see you guys are back!
When will this be up on iTunes?
I think the first time we got a glimpse of the X-Men & Avengers coming together was in the Days of Future Past storyline. The FF was in there as well and Marvel has steadily worked these three teams together at points for some pretty good stories.
When it comes to diversity whether it be race, sex, or just sexual orientation DC Comics is playing catch up in a bad way. It’s really sad because they have access to the Milestone Universe and characters that fit all of those categories and have been since 1993! Yet DC continues to just twiddle their thumbs and give us constant Batman and Superman stories. Marvel is a lot better and has been and a lot of that goes to Kirby and Lee back in the 60s. I will say that independants handle diversity in comics MUCH better than the Big Two ever will.
