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!

Here comes another great episode of your favorite grumpy old folks, and Drew too!
Today we dig in on something new, and something mutated. That's right, it's New Mutants (Marvel Graphic Novel Number 4) time! This one has everything! Cannonballs, Sunspots, Karmas, Wolvesbanes, and all the rest of the crew. Crack that book and listen in to what we love and hate. I hear it's a pretty think line between those two...

Saturday Dec 13, 2025

Saturday Dec 13, 2025

Welcome Home Merry Mutant Lovers! We have a banger for a today! Uncle Chris recruits his editor's husband (nepotism much, Mr. Claremont?) To draw a book that crosses over two of the biggest teams at the time! For Episode 103, we give you: X-Men and New Teen Titans! There is so much Jack Kirby love in this book you can practically hear him calling Stan Lee a prick while chomping his cigar and punching a Nazi! The Phoenix is back, and she's buddied up with Darkseid to turn Earth into lava. Can the X-Men and the New Teen Titans save the day? Listen in and find out!

Welcome in once again, how was your holiday Book Clubbers? We are more than excited, nay, even podcited to bring you another pulse pounding episode of your grandma's favorite podcast!
We have a pair of bangers for you this week, as we dig deep into Uncanny X-Men 163 & 164. There is so much Broody goodness that it can't be contained. Not by a single issue, not by two, but maybe by ten. Or twelve. Who lives? Who dies? You will have to listen to find out!

Man, how about episode 100 y'all? Both of them! We dug deep into Wolverine's head, and don't remember a thing. Which is good because neither does he!
BUT! We are on to other things, namely More Uncanny goodness. First up is X-Men 161. Magneto and Professor X steal a time machine from Doc Brown and travel back in time to punch Nazis! Well, maybe this is just a flashback/retcon/ filler issue! But still Nazi punching is happening! How many Nazis did you punch during WWII? Or after? Keep racking up those numbers!
Next up is X-Men 162! We are going to focus in on Wolverine. Again. Sorry, it's just how the cards fell. Much less in the wolverine department next week, I swear! Dive in with us while we continue hurtling through space in a giant undead whale while giant flying scorpions try to Rock You Like a Hurricane! It's a thrill a minute, or at LEAST every 90 seconds! Enjoy!

Episode 99 - Podstar Rising!

Saturday Oct 25, 2025

Saturday Oct 25, 2025

Howdy Y'all! Welcome back in to this here ol' book club! Pull up some grits and let's sink our teeth into some possum pie!
   This week on the pod we have a pair of Fare. Marvel Fanfare that is! First up is Marvel Fanfare 3, guest starring Spider-Man and the X-Men! Spider-Man is mainly here for the sex appeal, and doesn't do a whole lot! The X-Men and Sauron do all the heavy lifting! That's right! Your favorite mad scientist prehistoric bird man is back and ready to make life interesting!
   Next up is Marvel Fanfare 4. Because let's face it, jumping to number 42 would have made NO SENSE!!! Anyway, Angel and Sauron sky wrestle, which kinda looks like a pelican scissoring with a lizard. Maybe that's why Sauron is so angry, he gets relegated to the Angel enemies list, and believe me, no one wants to be there, not even Owl Man! This one has devolved X-Men, Revolved X-Men, and so much more! You will have to listen in to find out how our mighty menagerie of merry mutants handle this one!

   Welcome back Book Clubbers! We are deeply entrenched in X-Country, and Episode 100 is right around the corner! Are you ready for the madcap adventures that are headed your way? I don't think so Blue Retrievers!
   First up today we have X-Men 159 and... Vampires! Although I think our good buddy Chris C may have watched Cat People a few too many times before sitting down to pen this one, it is great! Spooky, brooding, and art by a master in his early days, Bill Sienkiewicz! Every time I see this book it reminds me we are closing in on the Demon Bear Saga.
   Next up is X-Men 160. Shower time! And another first appearance in an X-Book, but this time it is in the book, as Limbo shows up for the first time. Some other folks do to, but you will have to listen in for that!

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.
