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?

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?

We're getting into the nitty gritty details with the two writers of one of our favorite X books, NYX! Collin and Jackson's character focused story has been a delight as a burgeoning mutant community builds in the big city of New York. We talk about the Hivemind's writing process and get into the details of the journeys these characters have been on. Plus we get some insight on what's in store for the next few issues of NYX, including a meeting with good ol' Chuck. AND a tease of an X-citing connection to another title that the duo is working on at Marvel, Power Man: Timeless

Another doubled up week X-Men fans - so much content, we can barely keep up! Our Uncanny X-Men divide and conquer for the kids in their crew. Phoenix assemble her own team to match Thanos' might and Mystique goes to work on Nick Fury Jr.! Hellverine is the book nobody expected and we're both pretty sure Wolverine Revenge already ended. Storm gets a new outlook on life - literally! The Exceptional team talks through their problems as Laura Kinney slashes through hers. A delight of slashing in Ultimate Wolverine and slashed clothes in Savage Land Rogue. So. Much.

It's another intense stack of comics, but we're generally here for it. A lot of great content, both new and continuing. Magik is the stand out of the episode with a strong first issue that sets up a little corner of demon magic for her to play in. Uncanny X-Men brought our first official crossover to a close and a lot of fans feel underwhelmed by Raid on Graymalkin. Plus Wolverine's got a team building up in his solo that we're here for, along with a co-star credit with Deadpool on an action / adventure thrill ride. So much content to love! Not to mention the intensity of the Astonishing X-Men story, bringing the Flatscanners into the forefront of threats.

Fight off those Monday demons and get ready for a new solo featuring everybody's favorite magical, big sword-wielding baddie, Illyana Rasputin. We got to chat with writer Ashley Allen about what she's bringing to the X line with the newest ongoing solo, Magik! We talk about the process of developing this run after the success of her Blood Hunt: Magik one-shot, the ways Illyana's history influences her perspective and how it'll be a part of the overall line of comics. Plus we get even more excited about the newest villain, The Demon Crow!
