The X-Wife Podcast: An Introduction to X-Men Comics

Fall of the House of X #4 and Dead X-Men #4

Woah Charles... umm... you good? Feels like the Professor has gone off the rails and is trying a page from someone else's book. We don't know where he got it from, but it is NOT on brand with the rest of the X-Men! The Fall out continues as Apocalypse does some self-care work with Krakoa. Over on the Dead X-Men's journey, they stand up for the dream, for the reality, for the right to live their lives. It's interesting to see the students stand up for a dream that seems to have been lost by its dreamer. On X-Men Unlimited the X-Corps team are killing it! And they're ready to be done with this External nonsense.

Resurrection of Magneto #4, Wolverine #47, Ms Marvel #2 and Iron Man #17 PLUS MORE!

We took a page out of Magneto's book and recorded our way - which basically means a smash and grab catch up to plow through 7 (!?) books. A stack of four Fall of X books - I use that term loosely, Ms Marvel - as we highlight the fight from various standpoints. Magneto has entered the chat and Orchis doesn't know how to deal. The Wolverine and Sabretooth matchup meets a breaking point on two fronts for male and female users of the names. Ms. Marvel takes things to the EXTREME with Mojo and Lila in space. And good old Tony wrestling with his demons and trusting the enemy. Plus we do a full sweep of our X-tra X-Men books with '97, Weapon and Ultimate.

X-Men #33 and The Avengers #12

Take the fight to Orchis! It seems like everyone got the memo this week (Cable callback) and is bringing the fight to Orchis' door. Except the opponents are throwing it right back as they respond to the top brass of team books with even more robotic muscle. A Tale of Two Cities!

RotPoX #3, Wolverine #46, X-Force #50, Cable #3 and X-Men '97 #1

THE PLAN HAS CHANGED! Charles goes rogue and it's not giving sugah. RotPoX continues to delight, confuse and build up the tapestry of timelines. Wolverine delivers again as Sabretooth makes moves on his big plan. X-Force... ah man. I wanted more and maybe that's on me? Cable delivers our favorite issue of the mini and thinks get thrown in a time warp as we catch up with the X-Men '97 crew. PLUS X-Corp Island is under attack!?!

X-Men Forever #1, Resurrection of Magneto #3, Invincible Iron Man #16, and Madripoor Knights #2

Death and resurrection! A combination of two sides of our Fall of X coin with a new introduction as Immortal X-Men's spiritual successor continues. Tony makes a splash on the Australian Outback and Wolverine tears things up in Madripoor. Plus a Madrox dupe lands himself in a sticky situation.

FotHoX #3, Wolverine #45 and Dead X-Men #3

Standoffs and manipulations as some villains step up their plan and others fade away into Wiki mentions. FotHoX takes the book of the week as we set up this final confrontation with the mutants against humans (all while the real villain lurks in the background). Wolverine takes a number of plot threads forward as Sabretooth makes his move on the lovable runt. And the Dead X-Men are on a hack and slash tour through Moira's many lives - with surprise X-Men along the way. Plus X-Men Unlimited spills the details on an upcoming ritual for Selene!

X-Men #32, Ms. Marvel #1, Ultimate X-Men #1 and Weapon X-Men #1

A whiplash of new and old as we scramble to upload while traveling. It's an on the road episode! We've got some new directions forward but not in the traditional 616 way of doing things. Weapon X-Men? More like Jane and the Wolverines. Ultimate X-Men was a beautiful fever dream of a new take. Ms. Marvel continues her story from her last mini as the X ladies team up to take down the fascists.

Resurrection of Magneto #2, Wolverine #44, Dead X-Men #2, Iron Man #15 and Cable #2

A whole slew of comics coming in a few days later than we aim for. Dealing with death - or not - the X-Men story. Magneto is suffering as Storm arrives to help him through his mental anguish. Wolverine's ability to deal with death comes into question as he deals with the living much more easily (surprise he stabs them). The Dead X-Men now have a whole new Moira problem of their own creation and we get DEEP in on the logistics of their time travel impacts. Iron Man makes a bigger Iron Man and the Cables are off doing their own thing. Some fallout in X-Men Unlimited as the Externals get restless.

Rise of the Powers of X #2 and X-Force #49

Brain explosions outside time and space! Trying to make sense of it all as we read through it and BOOM another twist. What's your name for the new Doug? And over in X-Force, the team is taking a no nonsense approach to our new bouncing blue friend as his other brews something big beneath the surface. Plus in X-Men Unlimited we get a standoff battle with a side of poetic depression.

Fall of the House of X #2 and Wolverine #43

Jaw dropping comics! Violence and retaliation abound as everyone hates Victor Creed. Watch out as we welcome back, the Exiles! Plus the new Master of Magnetism takes center stage with her Brood army as we fight our way through Orchis agents. Everyone's going through it here folks. In Unlimited, our newly formed trio takes the mission to free captive mutants but is stopped by Selene's reluctant minions.
