The issue numbers are getting higher, the stories are starting to wrap and we're just trying to keep up with the concepts! Holy high brow sci-fi y'all! Some much needed exposition on how we got where we are, but still a lot how and why questions on the table. Do we think the Sentinels actually trust this dude? Because nobody else does. We take things a little slower in this issue of Wolverine as the finale comes in hot. What do you think about that suit of armor? How's he even doing that?...

Woah Charles... umm... you good? Feels like the Professor has gone off the rails and is trying a page from someone else's book. We don't know where he got it from, but it is NOT on brand with the rest of the X-Men! The Fall out continues as Apocalypse does some self-care work with Krakoa. Over on the Dead X-Men's journey, they stand up for the dream, for the reality, for the right to live their lives. It's interesting to see the students stand up for a dream that seems to have been lost by...

We took a page out of Magneto's book and recorded our way - which basically means a smash and grab catch up to plow through 7 (!?) books. A stack of four Fall of X books - I use that term loosely, Ms Marvel - as we highlight the fight from various standpoints. Magneto has entered the chat and Orchis doesn't know how to deal. The Wolverine and Sabretooth matchup meets a breaking point on two fronts for male and female users of the names. Ms. Marvel takes things to the EXTREME with Mojo and...

Take the fight to Orchis! It seems like everyone got the memo this week (Cable callback) and is bringing the fight to Orchis' door. Except the opponents are throwing it right back as they respond to the top brass of team books with even more robotic muscle. A Tale of Two Cities! New comics from April 3, we talk X-Men #33, The Avengers #12 and X-Men Unlimited 00:55 News04:09 Personal News08:47 Poll and General Questions18:51 X-Men Unlimited25:04 The Avengers43:06 X-Men Thanks for listening to...

THE PLAN HAS CHANGED! Charles goes rogue and it's not giving sugah. RotPoX continues to delight, confuse and build up the tapestry of timelines. Wolverine delivers again as Sabretooth makes moves on his big plan. X-Force... ah man. I wanted more and maybe that's on me? Cable delivers our favorite issue of the mini and thinks get thrown in a time warp as we catch up with the X-Men '97 crew. PLUS X-Corp Island is under attack!?! New comics from March 27, we talk Rise of the Powers of X,...

Death and resurrection! A combination of two sides of our Fall of X coin with a new introduction as Immortal X-Men's spiritual successor continues. Tony makes a splash on the Australian Outback and Wolverine tears things up in Madripoor. Plus a Madrox dupe lands himself in a sticky situation. New comics from March 20, we talk X-Men Forever #1, Resurrection of Magneto #3, Invincible Iron Man #16, Madripoor Knights #2 and X-Men Unlimited 01:40 News09:10 Personal News17:08 Poll and General...

Standoffs and manipulations as some villains step up their plan and others fade away into Wiki mentions. FotHoX takes the book of the week as we set up this final confrontation with the mutants against humans (all while the real villain lurks in the background). Wolverine takes a number of plot threads forward as Sabretooth makes his move on the lovable runt. And the Dead X-Men are on a hack and slash tour through Moira's many lives - with surprise X-Men along the way. Plus X-Men Unlimited...

A whiplash of new and old as we scramble to upload while traveling. It's an on the road episode! We've got some new directions forward but not in the traditional 616 way of doing things. Weapon X-Men? More like Jane and the Wolverines. Ultimate X-Men was a beautiful fever dream of a new take. Ms. Marvel continues her story from her last mini as the X ladies team up to take down the fascists. New comics from March 6, we talk X-Men #32, Ms. Marvel #1, Ultimate X-Men #1, Weapon X-Men #1 and...

A whole slew of comics coming in a few days later than we aim for. Dealing with death - or not - the X-Men story. Magneto is suffering as Storm arrives to help him through his mental anguish. Wolverine's ability to deal with death comes into question as he deals with the living much more easily (surprise he stabs them). The Dead X-Men now have a whole new Moira problem of their own creation and we get DEEP in on the logistics of their time travel impacts. Iron Man makes a bigger Iron Man and...

Brain explosions outside time and space! Trying to make sense of it all as we read through it and BOOM another twist. What's your name for the new Doug? And over in X-Force, the team is taking a no nonsense approach to our new bouncing blue friend as his other brews something big beneath the surface. Plus in X-Men Unlimited we get a standoff battle with a side of poetic depression. New comics from February 21, we talk Rise of the Powers of X #2, X-Force #49 and X-Men Unlimited 01:04 News10:06...

Jaw dropping comics! Violence and retaliation abound as everyone hates Victor Creed. Watch out as we welcome back, the Exiles! Plus the new Master of Magnetism takes center stage with her Brood army as we fight our way through Orchis agents. Everyone's going through it here folks. In Unlimited, our newly formed trio takes the mission to free captive mutants but is stopped by Selene's reluctant minions. New comics from February 14, we talk Fall of the House of X #2, Wolverine #43 and X-Men...

Alicia titles the audio files when she sends them over to be edited and she's calling it a filler week folks and I think many agree. Not to say the loss felt wasn't real - and when you think about it isn't Talon the original Laura Kinney? Had she been resurrected? Okay, now I'm tearing up about it all as I type this... resurrection is tricky y'all!! And Wolverine's doing something in Madripoor, it's actually pretty fun. Ok, I just said that to Alicia about Laura and it hit her like WOAH! New...

We're talking dead X-Men and Dead X-Men as the office serves up a double dose of death and destruction. Our X-Men Vote team are hopping through the timelines with help from our fiery favorite! Some questions about that material at the end though... Over at the Greenhouse as the walls get repainted red thanks to the Sabreteeth Army. New developments and a push of desperation from Logan. New comics from January 31, we talk Dead X-Men #1, Wolverine #42 and X-Men Unlimited 00:58 News11:12 Poll...

Apologies in advance for the sound this week friends, we're recording on zoom because I (Justin) have Covid and don't want to infect Alicia. With that said, WOAH COMICS. Excellent ends to two of our favorite books in the Fall of X line. X-Men Red and the Genesis War comes to a close as Maddie takes control of the narrative in Dark X-Men. Speaking of controlling narratives, someone should check on Judas - or not because who cares. We talk X-Men Red #18, Dark X-Men #5 and X-Men Unlimited 01:28...

Allies left and right as we build to the dark days coming! Alpha Flight closes out with a strong finish and no clear idea of what comes next, or when. Iron Man and friends start to make moves that will set up the mutants with a new fleet. Off in Latveria we get an introduction to Doom's mutants and not as much fighting as was expected.
