It's the new year and that means it's time for our New Mutants Marathon. This month, we're reading Generation X. Like the New Mutants but cooler, edgier, and all together more sexual tension between the teachers. Which is saying something since the original New Mutants were trained by Magneto and Xavier!

The Naughty list concludes with perhaps the naughtiest book of all, Weapon X by Frank Tieri and Georges Jeanty. Ho Ho Ho-ly crap it's a book of naughty boys and girls and dinosaur-men, but ultimately it's an important comic and one that--unfortunately--is incredibly timely.

Absolute Mojoverse is back to shovel refuse, freeze the rich, and trick the devil himself as we read the Absolute Trinity. Each book has incredible guest art, Carmine Di Giandomenico for Absolute Superman, Marcos Martin and Muntsa Vicente for Absolute Batman and Mattia De Iulis for Absolute Wonder Woman. For a publishing line with such iconoclastic art to have really intentional guest artists is one of the little things that we love about the Absolute Universe.

Escape the Mojoverse is back to talk the book Matt has been calling "Sabretooth: Dead and Loving it" for about half a year now! We get hyperviolent, conquer New York Gangs, and practice our thousand yard stare with this years delightfully anarchic Sabretooth: The Dead Don't Talk.

This week the results from our very first fan poll as we read X-Men: The Trial of Magneto: a crossover that ties up loose threads of X-Factor, the book that introduces the Waiting Room, and Wanda trying to make up for the Decimation. Can the book hold the weight of all of that narrative pressure while still being fun and entertaining? Yes, more or less!

Note: for a brief moment Matt gets Warren Ellis and Jeff Loeb mixed up, but we figure it out pretty quick so just hang in there.

A two part mini?!? In this economy?

It's the return of Also By! Our series where we read the other works of the current X-Men writers and artists! Don't remember that? Well we only did it the one time so far! We read Moon Knight (2021) by Jed Mackay and Alessandro Cappuccio. We talk Batcaves, Jed's insanely tight plotting, and how Marc is much hotter with the mask on

Later in the episode we sit down with Megan from Vigilante Vibes to talk her very favorite X-Men comics of the From the Ashes Era.<...

This week on the podcast we're talking NYX with superstar comics writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly "The Hive Mind" You're asking yourself, "didn't they JUST do an episode on NYX with the Hive Mind?" Well, this is about the first one! We talk gritty post 9/11 comics, writing teenagers, and the shocking comic introduction to Laura Kinney.

This week on the mini, it's Allison's turn to drag Matt kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of Webtoon as we read modern retelling of the Hades and Persephone Myth--Lore Olympus. We talk online 'shipping discourse, erotica vs romance tropes, and honestly one of the most wholesome things we've ever read.

Another month another deluge of X-Men comics. This month saw a really strong showing across the brand and was notable for the end of two of the best books of the line--NYX by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing “The Hivemind” and Francesco Mortarino and X-Force by Geoffrey Thorne and Marcus To. Matt--who is writing-- is too sad to put a pithy joke here. Let's get into it!

Timecodes and Credits--

This week, one of the most daring books of the X-Line came to an end: NYX written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly. We sat down with them to go over their process, what they had in mind for an arc three, and what we can look forward to in their Giant-Size X-Men mini series.

This week we talk Deadpool vs Miles Morales. Two legacy characters that should shoulder the narrative focus for Marvel in the next few decades. Also, Wade Wilson is there! Listen as we implore Marvel to spend less money on movies, talk balancing dumb jokes, and do the dumbest version of Allison's long-running game ever.

We're really stretching that "X-Men Comics" part of the title to its limit this week, but honestly, the Scarlet Witch has been quietly one of the most consistent titles that Marvel publishes and she's certainly X-adjacent. We read the whole of Steve Orlando's Scarlet Witch in preparation for next month's Scarlet Witch and the Vision.

A few weeks ago on the podcast, Matt was coerced to admit he doesn't like Gambit. This week, we call upon TikTok and YouTube star Nikhil Clayton (a noted Gambit superfan) to see if we can't convince him otherwise. We talk Gambit's first solo foray, learn about the thieves and assassins guilds, and ask why Gambit was picking that lock if he was just going to blow it up.

In this episode, we sit down with Sentinels and Asonishing X-Men scribe Alex Paknadel to talk about nasty protagonists, robot cops, and Mark Russell's really incredible hair.
