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

Reign of X: New Comics for January 26 - X-Men, Marauders Annual, Black Panther and X-Men Unlimited

A tale of new beginnings for our Krakoan Captains! We're going all around the X-Men universe with this one. It's the full reveal of Captain Krakoa's origin in X-Men and there's some conflict brewing between the team and the council in the wake of what's happened. The new Marauders crew comes together and gets their first mission in an annual issue that sets us up for an exciting new run. And the 200th legacy issue of Black Panther ties into Storm's position as Arakko's Regent as well as another mutant with secret ties... Plus the penultimate Paradise Lost! We talk X-Men #7, Marauders Annual #1, Black Panther #3 and X-Men Unlimited.

Road to Inferno - Madelyne Pryor

There's been something building in the background. It started with the Hellfire Club's manipulations of our dear friend Jean Grey. It twisted further when her retcon revealed itself. It was built even greater as the embers of Inferno started to gather. Madelyne's story gives us a peek into the X-Men's journey, while also building up a tragic hero's story, manipulated at every instance into becoming the Queen she always could be. We discuss Madelyne's road to becoming the Goblin Queen and the inciting Inferno
