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

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

Destiny of X: New Comics for July 20 - Judgment Day #1 and Knights of X #4

Our judgment has begun! And it is most certainly worthy. Things are heating up as the Knights of X press further into the depths of Otherworld. Welcome to your own personal hell. Askani is the MVP of this issue, ready to save her and all of us! Onto the impending Judgment. The all out epic kicks off with layers of intensity. Druig's plan is coming into focus, but is it too late? Can the mutants preserve their new found ways of life? If you were on the fence of whether or not Judgment Day would be crucial for the mutant story, hopefully this answers your question. Then in X-Men Unlimited, a team up clean up as a new style of Marauders merged with New Mutants saves the day from the destruction of X-Men Green. X-Men Red Cross? We talk Knights of X #4, Judgment Day #1 and X-Men Unlimited

Destiny of X: New Comics for July 13 Part 2 - Eve of Judgment #1, Marauders #4, Wolverine #23 and New Mutants #27

A whirlwind of comics content! This one has it all, starting with a follow up on the seeds of Judgment. Those Eternals - or at least that Druig - they're up to something... Out in the deep space voyage of Marauders we get some further historical development as well as some timely next steps. Back at the mansion, the reunion tour continues as things get real messy between Wolverine and Deadpool. And then a tale of two Illyanas, one of heartbreaking trauma and emotional reunions. New Mutants is nearing the end of the Labors of Magik as she's gotten herself a new job. PLUS! A great conclusion to our mutant language story in X-Men Unlimited - what a week! And that's not even all of them. We talk Eve of Judgment #1, Marauders #4, Wolverine #23, New Mutants #27 and X-Men Unlimited

Destiny of X: New Comics for July 13 Part 1 - Hellfire Gala #1 and Immortal X-Men #4

It's all about our Queen! And the evil schemes building around her... can she keep the ship afloat? The big day is finally here after all that planning, but someone had to go and the Hellfire Gala with a big surprise of their own. Smooth move Cyke! But resurrection isn't the only thing to worry about, as there are party crashers left and right. Immortal X-Men picks up immediately after and around the Gala, a great one-two punch of story that builds off of the aftermath and new information. Watch out Nathaniel, they're all coming for you now! We talk X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1 and Immortal X-Men #4

They're coming for you Xavier! So much going on in Legion of X, mind games, magic and.. mental incest!? Don't make that a trope for my boy! The Legion's missions are coming together and apparently they're one in the same. Over in the depths of Krakoa something is brewing and it's more than Magma's volcano - a lasting addition to our island that we can't trust. Doug's passing out Get Out Of Jail Free cards left and right! The X-Cellent closes out their first season with their best issue yet and a solid X-Men Unlimited diving into language around the island.
