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?

Can you believe it, folks? We've been making The X-Wife Podcast for a whole year! October 16 is when we launched our first intro episode, one year ago today. We take some time to talk about how far we've come in the last year with Justin's elaborate scheme to get Alicia into X-Men comics - we may need a new tagline! We also have our cell phone recorded audio from New York Comic Con. Some clips sound better than others, sorry! Until next time old friends...
