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?

A villainous love story *swoon* - at least we know they're not parts of the same person now! Stasis and Mother Righteous put their plans out on the table... kind of. Part of the table is hidden, but that makes it intriguing. We're mixing a stew of plot threads together in X-Men as we catch up with former members, current threats and ominous premonitions. Laura rounds out her throwback story and Jamie heads off to space to save his kid. Bad Daddies is the name of my new dad rock cover band. We talk X-Men #24, The Sinister Four #1, X-23 Deadly Regenesis #5 and X-Men Unlimited

Coming at you days later! A jam packed week and weekend finds our podcasters unable to gather around the table, but fear not. We are here. Beast is popping off in the future left and right and yet I'm worries about Quentin most of all. Our New Mutant crew has all sorts of character fun as we get ready for the last issue. Speaking of last issues, Captain Britain has a quiet sendoff, wrapping up the three year arc for now. We dabble in some Wanda updates and talk a bit about the Maker's plans. Plus an adorable new Unlimited arc. We talk X-Force #41, New Mutants #4, Captain Britain #5, Scarlet Witch Annual, Ultimate Invasion #1 and X-Men Unlimited

The big one! The week we've had in our sights and whoohoo did it deliver. Kitty would have understood... Immortal's bomb drops and exploration were HUGE! The Orchis Boys building even more in the background of X-Men and Iron Man. War College ends and we all feel weird about it. X-Men Green keeps going and we feel upset about it...

Another light week for the Krakoans as we gear up for the incoming Fall! Honestly though, as you'll hear us say, we were pleasantly surprised. Captain Britain hits some character high notes, but the plot still seems to move slowly, especially for a book that only has one more issue. Deadpool notches its best issue of the run in our opinion as all the elements come together and work - just silly fun. And we dive into the past with Laura and Kimura in this new version of the Facility. Plus Nature Girl still Nature Girling, now with even more power! We talk Captain Britain #4, Deadpool #7, X-23: Deadly Regenesis #3 and Infinity Comics

We're piecing the stories together with the info we have, finding books and making it through the timelines. Lethal Legion seems to have the upper hand until our mutants get the band together! Poor Escapade is on the outs with her friends though. War College adds a little more on each of our stories, but still keeps them separate to frustrating detail. Storm rocks the punk look in the first issue of a classic series that also seems to be seeding some resentment between Ororo and Charles. Plus Comic Extracts gives us what we missed in The X-Cellent! AND Nature Girl gets a stern talking to from the real X-Men. We talk New Mutants Lethal Legion #3, Bishop War College #4, Storm #1 and Infinity Comics

A short stack that packs a punch as all the villains cook up that Murder Science! Orchis is on full display in X-Men. Humanity's self proclaimed saviors have no interest in using kid gloves with the mutants anymore. Just when you thought Beast was getting dealt with in Wolverine - there's more! More Beasts, more timeline shenanigans and even more Quentin Quire. Plus the X-Men Green team starts to crack from the inside... We talk X-Men #22, X-Force #40 and X-Men Unlimited

Coming to you after a loaded weekend a bit later than normal but with a lightning bolt of intensity! Storm claps back on Xavier's commanding attitude. Wolverine and Beast shore up their sides and ready for conflict as the CIA gets in the way. Captain Marvel delivering the emotions and some great Rogue! Rogue & Gambit notch our favorite issue of the series yet but it's still struggling to win Justin over. X-Men Green kick off one last hoorah as we get ready for Nature Girl to be done with.

The fallout continues! And that fall is a long one. They're brewing up some impending doom for the island and a lot of sadness from us. Storm goes to work in Immortal X-Men, dishing out reads left and right while getting some back in return. Sons of X delves into Mother Righteous' plans and the impact it's having on Legion, Nightcrawler, and even Nimrod. Scarlet Witch shocks everyone with its last page. We get a pair of teases from upcoming events with Captain Krakoa - and it doesn't look good for the mutants. Plus the end of Gwenpool's love story and the end of our Unofficial X-Men against Mojo.
