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

Fall of X: New Comics for Sept. 13 - X-Men Red #15, Children of the Vault #2, X-Force #44, Astonishing Iceman #2 and Infinity Comics

Uploading live from the hotel in Minneapolis! I did not edit on the plane, as I suspected, and instead watched One Piece and I Think You Should Leave Now... Enough about that, what about the comics!? A stack of them all over the Fall of X landscape. The Genesis War is at Ororo's doorstep and she's brought friends! Plus a peek into the history of Fisher King. The Children don't like being messed with, but that's all Cable and Bishop want to do, taking the fight to the Vault now. Family ties are becoming tenuous in X-Force as Mikhail seems to be losing his patience. Iceman fights the Elementals and they're definitely not working for Orchis... wink. We talk X-Men Red #15, Children of the Vault #2, X-Force #44, Astonishing Iceman #2 and Infinity Comics
