Weekly Update 11/25/19

Hello everyone! Happy Thanksgiving to our American patrons! Hope the holiday allows you lots of time to read comics!

A couple announcements for the club:
- I've mentioned before that we crossed the $500 goal to begin a new spin-off show called My Ultimate Year, a monthly show covering all the comics in the Ultimate Marvel Universe. Well, I'm happy to say the first episode will be released this upcoming Sunday, on December 1st! As a matter of fact, each episode of the show will be released on the first of the month. I will begin including the comics covered in each episode in the newsletter. And you can find the entire schedule of the show on the first page of the MMY master spreadsheet, available to $5 backers. Each episode of the show will be exclusive to $5+ Patreon backers for six months before going on a public feed, so be sure to subscribe to your personal Patreon podcast feed (shoot me a message if you'd like a hand figuring out how to subscribe). Thanks again to everyone who made this possible! We're so excited to get started with this new show!
- The MMY club in the Slack is doing an informal, community-driven Secret Santa this year. You have a few more days to sign up, so jump in the Slack and message me for more details.
