The X-Wife Podcast: An Introduction to X-Men Comics

Destiny of X: New Comics for Sept 21 - Judgment Day #5 and tie-ins, X-Terminators #1, Legion of X #5 and New Mutants #30

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

Destiny of X: New Comics for Sept 14 - Judgment Day #4, X-Men Red #6, Amazing Spider-Man #9, X-Men 92 #5 and Midnight Suns #1

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!

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.

Destiny of X: New Comics for Aug 24 - Judgment Day #3, Marauders #5 and New Mutants #28

Woof y'all what a week. We're fighting through each of our first times having Covid and honestly just glad to have the energy to talk comics. And we have a lot of comics to talk! We go high level on the non Krakoan books that we missed last week and this week - X-Men 92 and Patch, as well as checking in with our X-Men Green Team. Then we catch up with our Limbo ladies to find what's truly going to happen between them... Off in space Marauders is trying to do a lot. In the past, in the future, in the now, but we get the end of the first arc. And finally our third issue of the Judgment Day event series. The big picture plot pushes forward, a bit.

Destiny of X: New Comics for Aug 17 - X-Men #13, X-Force #30 and Death to the Mutants #1

We're judging pretty hard in today's new episode, talking about the next three issues of this massive Marvel event. The new team is here! And they are ready for some intense action. Lots of great synergy in this first issue of the new lineup. X-Force somehow gets the Judgment Day banner, but otherwise has a really fun issue with new members and a brand new threat rocking a unique wardrobe. Death to the Mutants? More like death to the Eternals! Druig's footing seems to be on unstable ground. We talk Death to the Mutants #1, X-Force #30 and X-Men #13

Destiny of X: New Comics for Aug 10 - Judgment Day #2, Ms. Marvel and Wolverine #1 and X-Men Legends #1

We're back! And we've brought a mixed bag of mutant stories with us. The main event we've all been waiting for - Judgment Day is upon us! The second issue of the summer blockbuster has us scared for the status quo of our merry mutants. A one-shot Wolverine team-up issue... what year is it?? Fun times all around with Ms. Marvel and Wolverine (and the X-Men). Speaking of what year is it, we're back in the 1970s with X-Men Legends as a new volume kicks off pitting the Jade giant against the bubbliest Canucklehead. Our X-Men Unlimited adventures are seeing Nature Girl test her alliances and potentially expand their ranks. She's out of control! We talk X-Men Legends #1, Ms. Marvel and Wolverine #1, Judgment Day #2 and Infinity Comics

Destiny of X: New Comics for Aug 3 - X-Men Red #5, Immortal X-Men #5, Legion of X #4 and X-Men 92 #4

Be still my artificial heart, what a roller coaster of emotions! So much epic destruction and battle. Starting off with 92 of Swords, the barely classic crossover is re-imagined, boiling down to just one issue of sweet 90s goodness. Things are getting intense in the Legion as Nightcrawler and Zsen dive deep into their philosophies and Kurt's bed. Immortal X-Men continues our meditations of philosophy and religion in the Krakoan Era. Pope Exodus will see you now. Then, the hour of intensity that was teased, X-Men Red shows us just went down on Arakko with Uranos... woof. Also, Doug's a liar and X-Men Green are playing literally everyone. We talk X-Men '92 #4, Legion of X #4, Immortal X-Men #5, X-Men Red #5 and Infinity Comics

1990’s Throwback! New Comics for July 27 - Gambit #1 and Wolverine: Patch #4

Where have all the Krakoans gone!? Too soon...  Marvel is taking a rest week from the current era and serving up a double dose of 90's nostalgia. The SNIKTs be slicing in Patch's penultimate issue. A whole lot of double crossing and epic adamantium justice. Then we team up with Gambit and Storm in an unseen tale on the streets of Cairo... Illinois. This issue was a ton of surprising fun with great character beats. Looking forward to more! We do get a quick Krakoan scroller with X-Men Unlimited, setting up a lot of context for what's bubbling up. Look out for next issue.  We also talk Spider-Man and how it might lead into his crossover with Wolverine and Justin has indeed finished his reading assignment with Eternals, giving a high level on the ancient society. We talk Gambit #1, Wolverine: Patch #4, Infinity Comics and a bunch of stray ideas

Thanks for listening to our twenty second episode of Season 4! We're in a time warp! Claremont and Hama are spinning tales of the top fan favorites.
