<a href="https://www.instagram.com/alexpaknadel/">Alex Paknadel</a> is a British comic book writer whose work in the X-Men line has brought a sharp psychological and sociopolitical edge to mutant storytelling. Contributing during the Krakoan era, Paknadel has explored themes of identity, power, otherness, and belonging—core to the X-Men mythos—through nuanced character work and morally complex narratives. Known for his precise, thoughtful voice, Paknadel’s X-Men stories stand out for their intellectual ambition and emotional resonance within the evolving landscape of Marvel’s mutant world.
Outside of Marvel, Paknadel has built a reputation in the indie space with acclaimed projects such as Arcadia, Friendo, and All Against All, often exploring themes of class, identity, and systemic power.

With us this week is returning guest, author and comic writer <a href="https://www.alexsegura.com/">Alex Segura</a>, for a special BOOK LAUNCH EPISODE! That's right! Both Alex Segura and <a href="https://lodrorinzler.com/">Lodro Rinzler</a>'s new books came out two days ago on March 24th and you get the full scoop here.
Alex discusses <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Enemy-My-Daredevil-Marvel-Crime/dp/1368095364">Enemy of My Enemy</a>, a soon-to-be-bestselling Daredevil novel and breaks down what makes up Daredevil's DNA. Lodro relates our comic of the day to his book <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/804522/you-are-good-you-are-enough-by-lodro-rinzler/">You Are Good, You Are Enough</a>, which is about coming home to a sense of goodness and wholeness inside of ourselves.
We also unpack Alex's comic co-written with previous guest of the show Sara Century, <a href="https://theforgottenfive.com/">The Forgotten Five</a>, how we all get lost in the trap of doubt at times, and a bonkers Uncanny X-Men issue where Mutina wants to join the X-Men but they don’t let anime kids onto the team.
Also in this episode:
<ul>
 	<li>Tom Breevort</li>
 	<li>Nightcrawler has a first date</li>
 	<li>McKenzie gets BAMFed</li>
 	<li>The X-Animals</li>
 	<li>Chekhov's barn</li>
</ul>
What does any of this have to do with the future of these brand-new books entering the world? We try and figure it out and heck maybe you can help us with that. Tune in for more!
