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?

Nimrod! We close out our first section of the books this week as we prepare to say goodbye to Krakoa. Fall of the House of X sees the mutants taking a stand for what they want in this world - at this point in time... PLUS we get a flashback to the 90's with the continuing X-Men 97 comic. And the always spectacular X-Men Unlimited arc continues to deliver. Ready for that one on one fight!!

Moms and dads man, what a trip. We need a family counselor in the Marvel universe STAT! We're getting non-Krakoan heavy as our books start to wind down. X-Men Forever closes out the Immortal X-Men story with some interesting Phoenix developments. Ms Marvel has a romantic encounter amidst all the violence. Ultimate X-Men continues to delight, albeit at a slower pace than some would prefer. Weapon X-Men and Wolverine Madripoor Knights are comics and we read them... X-Men Unlimited! The unsung hero of the Fall of X. Simply joyful.

That fire chicken is really seeding their way into the narrative as things HEAT UP in X-Men Forever. Hope's past, present and future are in question - I can barely wait to find out what happens! Wolverine is gearing up for the final battle as character threads get tended to and set up. Giant Size X-Men gives us a unique Angel story that challenges his vision of himself as a hero. Plus the X-Corp have waves of plans! This is only step one!!

The end feels like it's closer than ever. We're one month away until last call at The Green Lagoon. As mutants take their last stand, some aren't given the ending we thought they were working for. Some get to team up with otherwise known enemies. And some continue to fight themselves into side quest shenanigans. But we've got Wolverine! In more books than you know what to do with, in more ways than you ever thought possible. Never the end...

The issue numbers are getting higher, the stories are starting to wrap and we're just trying to keep up with the concepts! Holy high brow sci-fi y'all! Some much needed exposition on how we got where we are, but still a lot how and why questions on the table. Do we think the Sentinels actually trust this dude? Because nobody else does. We take things a little slower in this issue of Wolverine as the finale comes in hot. What do you think about that suit of armor? How's he even doing that? Plus the Avengers kick robot but and it's simply beautiful. We talk the Wolverine Legends story from way back when and of course everyone's favorite scroller, X-Men Unlimited!

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.

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.
New comics from April 10, we talk Resurrection of Magneto #4, Wolverine #47, Ms Marvel #2, Iron Man #17, Weapon X-Men #2, Ultimate X-Men #2, X-Men '97 #2 and X-Men Unlimited - PHEW!

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!

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!?!

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.
