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?

HoX/PoX #3 - There’s Something About Moira
Wednesday Oct 28, 2020
Wednesday Oct 28, 2020
Oh, the life and times of Moira MacTaggert.
What? You don't know who Moira is? I mean, she's been in movies. The smart human lady. A mutant geneticist who's occasionally in the background of the comics, most recently having interrupted Charles' birds knowing an unsettling amount of information. I genuinely don't know how to tease this issue without giving anything away, so just enjoy.
It's a Wednesday bonus episode! Why? We don't have to tell you! Does anyone read these? Thanks for listening to our third episode! This episode covers issue 3 of a 12 issue story. Like, subscribe, follow, email, and @ us all over the internet at thexwifepodcast.
