Welcome, friends - to the Reign of X... which, I'm pretty sure is supposed to be said as "Reign of 10", but... yeah, I'm never going to do that. We kick things off with our newly resurrected Hellions going on a mission to retrieve some Nanny-Tech in order to bring back their final lost member. We also get some amazing Sassy Sinister moments!

Lotsa great stuff to chat about, and - as always, a wonderful dip into the Mailbag!

More Juggernaut!

Today we wrap up our post-EcksofTens/pre-Reign of X trip off the beaten path with our titular hero being put on trial for something that happened about 40 years ago! This is a callback to the two-part "Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut" story from Amazing Spider-Man #229-230 (June-July, 1982).

Also, we talk a bit too much about quicksand...

By popular request - we are continuing our discussion of the recently-completed Juggernaut miniseries... and today's issue even contains a Krakoa-relevant page!

Today's issue also prominently features the Hulk... which facilitates me sharing my life and times as a fan of the character and his many, many incarnations!

All that, and some great mailbag too!

Continuing our trek off the beaten Dawn of X trail... we're stopping to take a look at the issue of Fantastic Four (vol.6) where it was revealed that Franklin Richard is NOT... and never HAS BEEN a mutant. I'm sure it'll be handled quite gracefully... and not feel like a last-minute attempt to "solve a problem".

I'll also share with you my life and times as a fan of the Fantastic Four... it's not that thrilling a story, but you'll get it anyway!

All that and great mailbag to boot! Be a pal, have a listen!

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!
