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?

Apologies in advance for the sound this week friends, we're recording on zoom because I (Justin) have Covid and don't want to infect Alicia. With that said, WOAH COMICS. Excellent ends to two of our favorite books in the Fall of X line. X-Men Red and the Genesis War comes to a close as Maddie takes control of the narrative in Dark X-Men. Speaking of controlling narratives, someone should check on Judas - or not because who cares. We talk X-Men Red #18, Dark X-Men #5 and X-Men Unlimited

Allies left and right as we build to the dark days coming! Alpha Flight closes out with a strong finish and no clear idea of what comes next, or when. Iron Man and friends start to make moves that will set up the mutants with a new fleet. Off in Latveria we get an introduction to Doom's mutants and not as much fighting as was expected. Kiss the ring and have a meal! Plus Judas loses control of the narrative as X-Men Unlimited heats up. We talk X-Men #29, Invincible Iron Man #13, Alpha Flight #5 and X-Men Unlimited

Running late on the edit after a wild weekend at RI Comic Con (and boring house projects :P). It was a light week with one Krakoan book as X-Men pulls together multiple plots, crossing over into X-Men Unlimited and X-Men Red! Scarlet Witch finds her way to a relaunch and Magneto battles the inner demons of his mind. Plus the last digital arc of Sunfire's story!! We talk X-Men #28, Scarlet Witch #10, Magneto #4 and X-Men Unlimited
