The Letters Page 2024 Wrapped

General GTG Sentinel Comics Lore
1

Okay, so I don’t use Spotify or any of those other sites that have a ‘wrapped’, but for some reason I felt like making a list of my top ten episodes from this year? I don’t know why?? And it took a long time even though I was just listening to the issue/creative part???

Anyway, in episode order, though I’ll say, since I had to rank them to make sure I only had 10, Deathfiend was my #1, over Wipeout. But again, in airing order, with a little tag to remind me which was which:

272 - Mystery Comics Vol. 2 #485 (Serpentimes)
276 - Freedom Five #431 (Cryptic Glues)
279 - Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #533 (Greazer & Fashion vs. Card Shark)
280 - Disparation Vol. 2 #122 (end of the Oracle of Discord)
282 - ADITL Fanatic
288 - Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 3 #4 (The Death and Return of Skeleton Key)
285 - Wipeout #1-4
292 - Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #525 & #526 (Sky-Scraper, Fashion and Ruin)
296 - Mystery Comics Vol. 2 #278 (Darkstrife vs. Painstake with Blaze Savage)
301 - Who is Deathfiend?

What’s yours? :smiley:

Weeeell, let’s see, here’s mine:

  1. Episode #272: Writers’ Room — Mystery Comics Vol. 2 #485: Stuntman vs. Night Snake
  2. Episode #274: Writers’ Room — Cosmic Tales Vol. 2 #107-#108: Baron Blade’s space-magic plot
  3. Episode #273: Writers’ Room — Arcane Tales Vol. 2 #613: Lifeline & Waykeep

Because I’m super behind and those three are the only 2024 episodes that I’ve hitherto listened to. : / Nonetheless, I can still rank them, I guess. (Weird that they’re all Volume 2s.)

Deathfiend was fabulous, which I credit entirely to how it allowed us so much historical context across a larger scope of Sentinels history compared to some other stories. Cryptic Glues was definitely my number one of the regular writers rooms experiences. I also enjoyed Day in the Life of Argent Adept, and Greazer and Fashion vs. Card Shark, and Bunker in Space.

So, I guess it’s

  1. Deathfiend.
  2. Cryptic Glues.
  3. Greazer and Fashion vs. Card Shark
  4. ADITL: Argent Adept
  5. Bunker in Space
  6. The Death and Life of Skeleton Blade
  7. Skyscraper and Fashion team up
  8. Villains during OblivAeon
  9. Stuntman vs Nightsnake
  10. Lifeline meets Waykeep

I realized last night, when Adam posted all this year’s covers on Twitter, that I actually missed, like, a whole page of episodes D: oh well, next year I plan to keep track as they’re released! that’s a resolution you can count on!

Was ADITL Unity really this year? That story is great, but I thought that was a different year.

EDIT: Yeah, that was 2019.

The Twitter thread was the covers he drew in 2024, and that was the one “pre-Writer’s Room Writer’s Room” cover he caught up on. So IIRC the one non-2024 episode he did a 2024 cover for. (Still wish he’d stayed on doing that catching up…)

i’m kind of behind on the newer eps, but my Top Ten of this year is probably this:

  • Stuntman vs Nightsnake
  • Cryptic Glues
  • ADITL: Argent Adept
  • Bunker in Space
  • Wipeout’s Series
  • Queen Kismet
  • Rambler vs Biomancer
  • Time-Travelling Legacy
  • Young Legacy vs Baron Blade
  • The “Villains During OblivAeon” Creative Process
