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?

Our digital comic From the Ashes ends strong with a roller coaster of emotions.

Battling the clock as we catch up on the last two weeks of comics! We're back from NYCC and had a great time and we're ready to dig into the stories. Two mainline followups with Uncanny and Exceptional both delivering on their brand of mutant recruitment. Two new books with Sentinels, giving us a different take of a villain story - and Mystique, going off on her own with an espionage mission. Plus Wolverine delivers some gorgeous art and emotional storytelling. There's more comics that I'm forgetting as I type this!

A doozy of a stack with a hearty helping of the Bubs! Issue one of the new series has Logan lost in the wilderness with only a best bud to bring him back. There's more to what's out there. On the other side of the timeline, Rogue's Uncanny team adds a handful of strays as we get the other side of the fateful phone call. A deep backstory pull with a mysterious Sarah who uhh goes through some changes. And we catch up on K Pryde's adventures in her home town. Smashing fourth walls and getting into the psyche of what life is like after Krakoa. Plus Venom War brings Logan into its mix as we start a mini series. AND a double dose of From the Ashes gets into the bigger story of what's going on with Magneto. We've got more questions than answers Max!
