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?

It's a brave new world mutants! Our first issue in a post-HoX/PoX world and we start out with leaders of the mutant people on a mission. Magneto!! And then some family time on the moon that Alicia is not a fan of. Hey so we tried a new format for this episode and then we decided we don't like it, so I edited it all together, and it kind of makes sense? Welcome to the Dawn of X!

We've taken away all the pictures and multiplied the word count. Oh boy, is Alicia excited! We both love books and to have one that takes place near X-Men continuity makes us nerd out even more. Carrie has a love for the X world and it shows through her knowledge of this timeline and these characters. We had a whole ton of fun talking with her about her novel.

We’re taking it all the way back with this one friends! 1963’s X-Men #1 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the first appearance of the original five X-Men, Charles Xavier, and Magneto. Do you know who the original five X-Men are? Alicia doesn’t, but she does notice how they’re all teenagers trapped in the bodies of 50-year-old men. The 60’s am I right?

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!!
