We discuss some fairly personal topics and fumble a bit (although not as much as we may have feared) with the author\u2019s preferred pronouns (e, em, and eir) as we discuss Kobabe\u2019s account of eir struggles with gender dysphoria and other issues on the road to identifying as nonbinary. It\u2019s an important work, especially in our current cultural moment. But is that enough to guarantee entry into that bastion of One Direction fandom known as \u2026 The Comics Canon? In This Episode: \u00b7       The Spivak pronouns \u00b7       A brief discussion of Barbarian \u00b7       Bad news from the future \u00b7       How did we end up talking about typing class? \u00b7       Curt\u2019s review of Thunderbolts* \u00b7       Gamemasters: The Comic Book History of Roleplaying Games Join us in two weeks as We\u2019re With the Banned continues with a discussion of Daniel Clowes\u2019 Ice Haven!
