Today we're discussing Excalibur #3, where Betsy Britain and her Beautiful Brother Brian X their Swords in Otherworld... perhaps for the final time. Well, no, probably not. We also get our latest addition to the cast in Mr. Julio Richter... and a cameo from MI-13's finest, ol' Pete Wisdom.

Also: Listener Mail where we try to think of an X-Book worse than Fallen Angels #2? Could it be Mutant X? The Brotherhood? The Chuck Austen run? Perhaps, X-Men Unlimited #4? Reach out if you got one!

The Father and Child Re-oo-oo-niun... is only a mutant away-ay.

Today we hang out with the Shaws... Sebastian and Shinobi, as they (maybe?) attempt to put aside their differences and work together for the betterment of mutantkind... or, the financial milking of humankind.

Also: I wax nostalgic over Shinobi's old running buddies: the Upstarts, Bill Jemas' failed EPIC Comics relaunch (announced in Marville), and trawlin' Mall Cons looking for the early issues of X-Factor!

Order in the court! (Ham and Cheese)

It's here that the New Mutants have their day in court... will Roberto's wicked space lawyer get them off, or will our young heroes wind up incarcerated by the Shi'ar Empire for life? Worse yet, will they get stuck hanging out with Cannonball's annoying better half? Those answers, and a whole lot more... in this very episode!

Also: Losing touch with friends, dealing with the realization that you're no longer a comics' intended audience, and some great listener mail!
