SHOW NOTES
Hector and CJ are back for Episode 130 of The Pull List Podcast, digging into comic news, casting chatter, strange crossover ideas, and the books that stood out—for better or worse—this week. They talk possible X-Men casting, dream comic crossovers, disappointing new #1s, Kingdom of Zod, Doom Quest, X-Men: Outback, Superman, and a Batman issue they both loved. Then the conversation shifts into spiritual content as CJ explores identity, grace, and relentless pursuit in Absolute Superman, while Hector highlights an unexpectedly powerful moment of prayer between Wolverine and Nightcrawler in Uncanny X-Men.
