Episode 077 – Die Hard With a Lobster

==Episode Description==
In which we relax our definition of X-book; we really want Sunspot to grow a mustache; Miles gets an excuse to say “shillelagh”; Bill the Lobster goes on a rampage; and Fallen Angels is really, really, really wonderful.

== Listener Questions ==
* A few of my friends and I like hosting ambitious Halloween parties with stuff like roleplaying and scavenger hunting based on a given theme. This year we're psyched to try our hands at a superhero themed party. I'm going as Dr. Doom and one of my friends would be perfect as Wolverine. Naturally, we have no idea what the 20 or so guests will come as. What we really need now is a kind of framed narrative that can serve as an excuse for having every imaginable hero and/or villain (be it Marvel, DC, or other) doing activities together. Of course, it shouldn't be too complex so that non comic book readers can enjoy it as well. Do you have any ideas on what kind of narrative might work? Naturally a humorous one is encouraged. Any help is appreciated.
* I was wondering what your opinions are on the parallels between the Doom Patrol and the X-Men? I've seen fans lump both teams together, but the similarities aren't as obvious to me.
