State of the Cosmos: December 1, 2021

Letter From The Editor

2021 is almost at an end, and the 6 month anniversary since The Cosmic Circus began as a site is coming up with it. I’m happy to report that November was an all-around tremendous month for our viewership growth with the help of my amazing friends and writers who have been contributing to the Cosmic Circus.

Vin and Alex especially had a couple of great articles that really grabbed readers’ attention last month (linked below). I also contributed an exclusive about how they plan to honor Chadwick Boseman and T’Challa’s legacy in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

I also delivered a run down about some rumors and some things I know about Ms. Marvel in this article:

What I Heard: Regarding Ms. Marvel’s Villains and Spoilery Rumors

In addition, we continued our brand new Cosmic Circle podcast with two more episodes in November! It’s been wonderful to hear the gang here get together and talk about DC and Marvel. I hope you’ll give our podcast a listen, and maybe even follow and share. It can be hard for a new podcast to get noticed, so we appreciate any help and support you can give us.

Subjects for the November podcasts included Disney+ Day, Eternals, and the first two episodes of Hawkeye, with more planned for December. (Podcast is available on Spotify, Youtube, and other platforms via Anchor)
