Welcome to Journey Into Misery, where I explain complicated comics characters, continuity and concepts to the patient and perpetually perplexed Helena Hart.

Things get dark as we head into the black and grey world of the Uncanny X-Force.

You can listen to JOURNEY INTO MISERY a number of ways, including Libsyn, iTunes or Stitcher. Alternatively, you could just click play on that little button below.

On Twitter, Kieran is @KingImpulse, Helena is @Hachiee and the official account of the show is @JiMPodcast.

We have a Patreon which helps us try to keep a regular schedule and helps us pay the bills and such while Helena is looking for work. If you want a bunch of bonus episodes, plus early access to the regular ones, and have a bit of money to spare every month, head over there to check it out.
