From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 1i - Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (1991)

From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast

Episode 1I

Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (October, 1991)

Cover Price: $2.50

In our final segment of From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 1 - I am joined by my friend Adam (@hojokoolander) from Wizards: The Podcast Guide to Comics (@WizardsComics) to discuss all the X-News that was fit to print back in Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (October, 1991).

In it, we'll look at the earliest sales charts for this era of X-Books, as well as some deep-diving on the Price Guide. Most notable about this issue, however, is that it might just have been the first place where X-Fans learned that Chris Claremont was no longer going to be steering the line. It's an awesome little time capsule, and we had a great time chatting it up! We hope you join in on the conversation!

Wait... what? What's a Gwenpool doing in our X-Lapsed?

I promise, friends, this will all make sense in the telling - as it has some wonderful and surprising Krakoan ramifications. In fact, even taking the X-ness out of this series, this is a heckuva lot of fun... and is highly recommended by your humble host!

If you don't know Gwenpool... like I didn't... you're gonna wanna check this one out!

When are the X-Men not the X-Men?

Well, it looks like they haven't been since we started this little project... nice of them to finally let us know! We're going to talk a lot about what it means to be an X-Man vs. what it means to be a Krakoan today.

Also, there's going to be a bit of sword-fighting...

Apocalypse vs. Genesis

Plus: Our always x-cellent and x-citing mailbag, chock full of missives from our x-tended x-lapsed x-family!
