House of X Book Club

Back in the day, we got together and read and talked about comic books, mainly the X-Men. Decades later, and not a lot has changed. We started at the very beginning, and are working our way through the X-Men from number one!

We are back in Mendocino once again, and there is candy! Not in a creepy white van way though...
This wee we are reading the origin of Wolverine titled... Origin! They dug deep for that one! BUT, we press on like dollar store nails. Wolverine is a very sick boy, and boy does he have funny ways of showing it. Roll call for trauma. We must go north (said no one ever). More trauma. Canadian bare knuckle fighting, coming this summer to FOX! By the way, have we mentioned the trauma yet? Oh, and a redheaded girl for 'ol James to pine for. All this, and Cookie too, on the next House of X Book Club!

Come on in X-Fans! We love that you are here with us once again to talk about all things X! Only the single X though please, no Vin Diesel nonsense around here!
We have a couple of bangers for you today! First up, X-Men 103! Whose House? Say What? Banshee's House! Well at least it was. Black Tom and our old pal Juggernaut have holed up in the basement and are tusslin' with those cookie making elves! Nightcrawler finds out he disappears in shadows, and we all learn a little something about claustrophobia.
Next up is X-Men 104. Hooray, two issues of the X-Men! Best October 9th ever! (Time of publication.) Magneto returns! Again! This time he is wearing a selection from the Dior fall line into battle against our favorite band of Merry Mutants! Also in this issue, Scott gets all butt hurt, but you knew that was coming, right?
So mosey on over to the old Victrola and slip a dime in, won't you? And give a listen to the House of X Book Club Episode 60!

First up, we dive in to Classic X-Men number one! It is a dramatic re-telling of Giant Sized X-Men number one, complete with interpretive dance and subtitles! Will Krakoa win the day this time, or will the evil of Charles Xavier foil his plan for a vegetative utopia? 
Part Deux of our reading comes from all the way in merry old England. Try not to hold that against us as we dive into Captain Britain #8! Or at least the Captain Britain part. Don't worry, we will explain in the the pod! Love ya!

Welcome home X-Clubbers! How was school? Did you make any new friends? 
We have a dilly of a pickle for you today! Drew pitches a great idea to the crew, and we have a special in person round table discussion about the topic. What might that be you ask? Well today we trek back to when Professor X faked his death the first(?) time, and Changeling took his place. With all the mutants gathered, someone takes the opportunity to step up and offer an alternative. Today we probe the question : What If Mastermind Joined the X-Men!?!"

   Just when you thought it was safe to return to the pod, There's a rumble from the darkest corners of space and the world will never be the same! Or, you know, someone had too much Taco Bell.
   But what an episode! We have Eric the Red, Nightcrawler the Blue, and a Widow the Black! 
   First up, we dive into X-Men 97. Eric the Red returns, and fight Cyclops, which is a little awkward. One, because that outfit leaves NOTHING to the imagination, and two, Scott Summers' multiple personalities are just tiring. 
Our second read is Champions number three? Best thing about this one? It's the end of the story! I wonder if that weird harness makes Hercules' nipples chaff? Listen in and maybe we will find out!

Welcome Blue Retrievers!

Sorry, just trying to dodge those pesky copyright laws! We have gathered you all here today to talk about the X-Men. From the very beginning! All our favorite mutants live on an island that is also alive and once tried to kill them. But fences have been mended, and things have been going pretty good for our genetically superior friends. But things have not always been all cocktails and polyamory for Cyclops and his pals. So we go back to the very beginning to see how we got to 2023. And we start 60 years ago! X-Men number one to be exact. Hear what we like, dislike, and what confuses Shane. Which is a lot.
