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?

The X-Wife Podcast, the sequel. We're getting ready for the next leg of our journey through X Ed. Season 2 has... evolved, since its initial design.
At first, it was all about the X-Men's Seminal Moments, a trip down Seminal lane if you will, revisiting these top tales in mutant history. That'll still be our outline, but we've added some stops along the way. We'll also be looking to the future with issue #1 of each of the six Dawn of X titles! Each episode is intended to serve as a potential jumping-on point for new fans - and, it all tells one larger story of X-Men awesomeness. Madness? Madness!!

There's truly something Sinister throughout this week's episode. That cape steals the show along with Xavier's heavy John Hammond vibes. We've got no more year 100 story, and we can really start to seer-selves understanding year 1000 - a wordy and somewhat difficult to understand reference. Topical!
