#439 – Thomas Fireheart

Today we talk about Thomas Fireheart, who was raised to fight a prophesized threat with shapeshifting Puma powers, ends up starting a business and becoming a mercenary, and being generally in Spider-man's way.

What we were up to this week:

• Briar read Simon Armitage's new verse translation of Gilgamesh, somehow ended up #1 on the holds list for John Green's new novel, and has been enjoying being able to see the stars again on morning walks!
• Olivia read I Didn't Ask For This, started re-reading Die, and is gonna have to track down a copy of What If... Runaways (2026) #1
