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?

The mutant we left behind, the dinosaurs that joined us along the way, plus monsters and magic! Friends this one has it all. But really we just want to talk about that last page X-Men reveal, because WHAT!? The Vault's secrets start to unravel as Forge continues further - all while some brother time shenanigans happen outside. We catch up with Kraven and have a prehistoric time in the Shadow Room.

What a week to have missed an episode y'all! We're going high level across all the books from last week and this week. I just, woah. How does one even begin to list and tease? We go over almost every title we talk about. Some X-Men Unlimited, a bunch of AXE one shots, tie ins across the Marvel Universe, our X-Men Red beautiful sadness, Kurt being the desperate hero we all needed, Kraven causing trouble on Krakoa, Wolverine being everywhere. It's just so much. We talk about a lot of comics lol - honestly I came back days later because I needed to put the titles. I use our episodes to keep my books organized. We talk about X-Men Red #7, Marauders #7, A.X.E.: X-Men #1 and A.X.E.: Starfox #1 from Oct 2 and then we talk A.X.E. tie-ins, Gambit #4, Immortal X-Men #7, X-Force #32, Death to the Mutants #3, A.X.E.: Eternals #1, Wolverine #25, Legion of X #6, Infinity Comics and I bet I missed one or two

We see the light on the other side of the Judgment Day tunnel! Our X-Men team is onto their own troubles as the Vault cracks open. Forge taking some strong liberties in the name of science and government.. Our two AXE tie-ins dive into specific character judgments as Spider-Man faces a disapproving look from Gwen and Tony works through some history. Back in the late 80's Gambit and 'Ro continue to have the best time. Such joy and fun. And our Hellfire Gala Infinity story comes to an all out conflict with everyone joining in. We talk X-Men #15, Spider-Man #10, AXE Avengers #1, Gambit #3 and X-Men Unlimited

Make room in the Treehouse, we're talking Gerry Duggan into adding us onto the X-Men roster! We dive into the details of his Krakoan titles - from high seas on the Marauder to the fresh roots planted just below the NYC skyline.
We had a blast talking shop with Gerry about the ideas and character arcs that have formed into these last few years of comics. He shares his current photography project, a peek behind the curtain over the last 20 years of his life in the industry and around the world!

Long gone are the days where our mutants stayed secluded on a fantasy island. We're knee deep in tie ins but skimming high level, because really, we're only here for our Krakoan mutants. So let's celebrate 40 years of great New Mutants stories as we send off Vita and Rod (sadness). Let's get mentally confusing in David's brain space as Legion of X closes out its first arc. Let's literally enjoy every single aspect of X-Terminators and read it multiple times. And of course, let's see what that crazy space god is doing up at the North Pole. We talk Judgment Day #5, X-Terminators #1, Legion of X #5 and New Mutants #30, along with some high level looks at JD tie ins from Avengers and Fantastic Four, an X-Men Legends throwback and those Unlimited stories

We're on a universe wide tour this time folks as the mutants' circle is expanding even further. It's becoming a challenge to keep up! The big one two punch of X-Men Red and Judgment Day has us feeling uncertain about a mutant patriarchal figure - say it ain't so! Charles, do your morally questionable deals behind people's wishes! Spider-Man makes an appearance on our rundown with his Wolverine team-up and it's awkward conversations all around. X-Men 92 ends with a twist as we're both here for Dark Beast and a kickoff to the Midnight Suns mini series has Alicia expanding her reading list! We talk Judgment Day #4, X-Men Red #6, Amazing Spider-Man #9, X-Men 92 #5, Midnight Suns #1 and X-Men Unlimited - phew!

A random assortment of mutant activity! You get a team up and you get a team up. The New Mutants are going on a side quest as James Proudstar and Akihiro hunt for a missing Gabby. Speaking of missing friends, Moon Girl and the X-Men (or really just Wolverine and Havok) team up to rescue Devil Dinosaur. Space travel abound! We catch up with the cameos of Nightcrawler and Wolverine in other books - for a loner, that bub is literally everywhere. Add in a double dose of Infinity Comics and blamo! We talk New Mutants #29, X-Men and Moon Girl #1, some mutant guest appearances and X-Men Unlimited

You get judgment and you get judgment! You and you and you... look under your seats, JUDGMENT FOR ALL! Woah friends it's a loaded week of comics with four Judgment Day tie ins. We're talking just those tie ins in this episode, organized in story order. Wolverine gets judged with Solem smirking nearby. Deviants and Eternals get judged. Shaw and Destiny. The Marauders say they were judged but I'll believe it when I see it. Random musical interlude of Tom Cardy's Businessman. We talk Wolverine #24, Death to the Mutants #2, Immortal X-Men #6 and Marauders #6

What a week! It's an all killer, no filler lineup with solid story and art all around. Our X-Men team take on a slight side quest with an extinction level event in the sun as Iceman gets to shine as his full self! Knights of X comes to an end, leaving us wanting more but finding solid resolution for our heroes. X-Force is stirring the pot with our feature characters as someone stalks in the distance. Gambit is the best Claremont comic in years, I'll fight to defend it. Please don't fight me, I'm still weak from the COVID. And in Unlimited we're partying the night away at the Gala. We talk X-Men #14, Knights of X #5, X-Force #31, Gambit #2 and X-Men Unlimited
