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?

Some classic X-Men feels! Team missions, Wolverine and Sabretooth, and more. Wolverine is the mindless tool of Beast, the thing he talks most about not wanting to be - but now there's a new complication. We get a Firestar conversation about her place in mutant society and on the team and we're here for it. Explore the next prison of Orchis with the Exiles and Sabretooth, separate entities, not a team. Dr. Barrington messed up! Plus we go high level over the three Dark Web tie ins and two X-Men Infinity Comics. We talk Wolverine #28, X-Men Annual #1, Sabretooth and the Exiles #2, Mary Jane and Black Cat #1, Dark Web: Ms. Marvel #1, Gold Goblin #2 and Infinity Comics

The Dark Web is seeping into the show! Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends are taking over and we are here for it. The X-Men team divides to take on the demonic threat plaguing New York, while Spider-Man wrestles with his own demons.

AND we play catch up on some Infinity Comics. We talk Dark Web: X-Men #1, Legion of X #8, Deadpool #2, Spider-Man #15 and Infinity Comics
