For every X-Men fan who’s wanted to get their partner into the conversation and every friend or family member who just doesn’t want to read the comics, welcome to “The X-Wife Podcast.” Justin’s wife Alicia has never read an X-Men comic and she plans to keep it that way… for now! Join as they dive in, break down and question Jonathan Hickman’s new vision of Marvel’s merry mutants on Krakoa. House of X, Powers of X, and the Dawn of X all kick off a story that’s billed as a perfect jumping-on point for new readers, but with more than 50 years of continuity that overwrites and contradicts itself, can there ever be a seamless start?

What a doozy of a double week! We had some work things come up and honestly weren't feeling inspired with the lineup, so we've combined it! PLUS all the fire that came out last week. The solos overload our pullboxes and hearts at the same time. 3K's X-Men get told what's up by Scott and then respond in kind. And that final issue of NYX leaves us wanting more with no hope in sight...

Cassandra's got a new friend! Damn does she need it, but we're a little concerned for Piper's sister. Magik's got an old friend! And the relationship might be tested with some interesting reveals at the end of the issue. X-Force has a new end! In a way that no one predicted. Wolverine's going to rend... It's what he does, tears limbs, specifically zombie ones. And Sabretooth ends without a rhyme and we're both sad about it :(

Will Sinister succeed? History says no, probably not, but we're here for the ride! Wolverine gets a little older and maybe even wiser as he fights for his found family in the legacy 400 issue. Cable's twist hits in the feels as we learn the truth about Cicada. X-Factor splits into two teams with a sneaky mission. Plus some ominous details for Arakko in Power Man Timeless. And Emma guest stars in Astonishing as we all swoon

A mountain of books and we're still climbing! X-Manhunt shows up in half of one book as X-Force has Sage decked out in the spy gear we never knew we needed. Magik, Psylocke and Cable are the stand outs for both of us, delving deep into these character stories with interesting relationships and stakes. Exceptional X-Men delivers one of its best issues, but misses out on the surprise while doing it. Where do you stand on the Sinister reveal?

A whole sweep of comics featuring the Alaskan X-Men team! They're in their own book, guesting in Amazing Spider-Man, and having two of their ladies rock out in solos - some of our favorite titles too! Plus Cable explores a softer side of the gritty war story. And Stryfe has a plan that is visual deliciousness - skeleton dinosaur fights!! Covering comics released on February 12, 2025
