We're back with the New Mutants "B" team a/k/a the Amalgamated Young Mutants of Krakoa, LLC for this issue - and what's more, they're taking us all on a trip to Nova Roma. It's a weird one-and-done, that - in about 10 minutes - you might just forget you've even read! Let's hope the same can't be said for your listening experience!

Also: Sebastian Shaw does something pretty cool... so, at least there's that!

Welcome friends, to Wave Two of the Dawn of X line (also the 400th Program uploaded to the Chris and Reggie Channel)!

Today we've got a Wolverine two-fer - two complete stories... well, two complete "part ones", to kick off the berzerker's seventh (oi) volume. One's got some Drug Cartel stuff... the other is all about vampires. Woof. Plenty of good conversation will be had, and there is some great listener mail to boot!

It's issue four... and it's another fight-scene. I might actually have to listen to this episode myself, since I can barely remember what happened here.

Major X has somehow married some of the worst aspects of two generations of comic book storytelling - it is as shallow and vapid as many books of the early 1990's, while being decompressed to the gills like so many "current year" comics.

We had our fun in space... but, now - let's get these kids home!

Today we wrap up the New Mutants "A" storyline, reuniting bird-person child with (death)bird-person aunt... and finally plant our Krakoan seed in Shi'ar Space! Also: A strange Dungeons and Dragons-style battle - complete with your humble host rolling virtual dice! A fun issue... though, depending on your mileage - perhaps a hair too "cute" in the Deadpooly sort of way. Lemme know your thoughts!

Speaking of letting me know your thoughts - I share a hot-take theory from a listener that might just change the way you look at these books! Again, lemme know!

To Me, My X-Lapsed!

Today we're going to discuss the necessary "next step" issue of Marauders, in which, much of our team finds out exactly what happened to Call Me Kate. It's an issue of reactions - which I myself will react to, and have a good time doing so. There's also some mutant on nameless, faceless mercenary goon violence... which never gets boring (citation needed).

Torn from the pages of HoXnPoX, comes a very special Mystique-focused issue of X-Men! Today we're going to find out some of the things that went on between the panels of the big Mother Mold Mission, when the X-Men raided the Orchis Satellite. We're also going to flash back to a story from... well, sometime before Uncanny X-Men #255, where Destiny has a very important message to share with her wife.

It's been awhile since I've engaged in "hot takes", but - an issue like this, really invites the semi-critical thinking... and makes my mind percolate trying to figure everything out. It's a goodie, and I hope you take the time to check it out!
