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?

Marvel heard your demands and they've gifted us with EVEN MORE WOLVERINES!?! I'm losing my mind at how many claws we have this week bubs. Seems there's some more slipping in the time stream of comics release dates and we've only got X Deaths of Wolverine this week to hold us over, but plenty to dissect as this story adds more layers. Plenty of Infinity Comics on the side to fill the gaps and give us even more to dive into - we're big fans of where the X-Men Unlimited story is going! We talk X Deaths of Wolverine, X-Men Unlimited and Life of Wolverine

The claws are out and tearing into this whole episode! Wolverine, Sabretooth, and a bunch of other guys... we're talking the debut issue of Victor Creed's Pit. A wild surprise of a comic that we both loved. Keeping things going throughout time with Wolverine's mission to save Charles Xavier and not get caught sleeping with Omega Red 😬 Over with the X-Cellent vs X-Statix, we're both a bit out of our depths having not read the original series. Onto the digital side, we're doubling up on the Infinity Comics with a light jaunt through Wolverine history and a final chapter in Juggernaut and Deadpool's buddy comedy. We talk Sabretooth #1, X Lives of Wolverine #2, The X-Cellent #1, Life of Wolverine #3, and X-Men Unlimited #20... phew what a packed episode!
