“I’m a bit of a lapsed fan but the Krakoa era has really drawn me in. So I really needed a refresher on who these x people are and Connor and company REALLY make it easy to understand both the history of the characters and the context under which they were created (and the subtext that isn’t on the page but was communicated between writers and fans.)
Each episode features a complete history for a character plus a chat with a creator or comics adjacent person who talks with Connor about what makes that week’s character great (or in some cases what makes them so bad that they’re good.). There’s also plenty of wit and satire plus some solid speculation on where the franchise can go from here. There’s also plenty of breakdowns and critiques of where the franchise went wrong and clever thoughts on how to repair bad moments in the back catalogue.
Anyone looking for a smart, funny, LGBTQ+ friendly podcast about Marvel’s merry mutants need look no further!”
