Well, slap my face and call me HoXPoX... we've got us a Krakoa sighting in this here issue! Well, the Grandson of Krakoa anyway... the mid-2010's were a weird time.

Also, Bling! has a therapy session with PhD in training and Generation X alumni, Paige Guthrie. How does THAT make us feel?

The Boneyard's Haunted... by X-Factor?!

Today's episode features plenty of Mutant death... and morr of the Morrigan. It also feels a bit truncated - which will likely be today's "watchword"

Also: A very challenging Mailbag for your humble host, who tries not to stumble over his words too badly.

After a year of delays... it's finally time to meet, well - whoever these Children of the Atom turn out to be!

In this opening chapter, we get elbows deep into the mystery of who... and/or what these characters might end up being! Are the Chimeras? Are the high on MGH? Are they just really good Cosplayers?

... and how come they changed the last page of this issue when it published digitally? I make a lot of wild theories... and I'd love to hear yours as well!

Also: An X-Cellent Mailbag Segment!

Another day - Another Wolverine guest-appearance! I do believe that we might wind up eventually doubling our episode count including all of Logan's wandering around the 616!

Today, after sorting out a misunderstanding with the Runaways, Wolverine and Pixie set out to rescue a brand-new mutant -- and bring the Runaways with 'em for good measure!

If you don't listen... Nico might just transform you into an ice cream cone!
