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!

Welcome Home book clubbers! How was your day? Here, let Drew massage your feet. We have some wonderful yarns to spin for you!
First up, we dig into Power Man & Iron Fist 57, featuring Rob's secret crush, The Living Monolith! This book is a hot mess, and not in the good way.
Next up we dig into X-Men 122, and everyone has something to do! Storm finds out you can't go home again, Cyclops finds out he's a hot piece of ass ( we were surprised too!) and Wolverine finds his lady in a building! With a door! Can you imagine!?!

Welcome back children! Of the Atom or not, you are our favorite! Don't tell you sisters though, you know how jealous they get! Are you ready for more terrific tales of mutant mayhem? Let's dig in!
First up in X-Men 120, our merry band of mutants head to the happiest place on earth... Tijuana! Wait! No, it's the 31st happiest place on Earth, Canada! Calgary to be exact. Did you know Wolverine is Canadian? I don't think we should hold that against him, but there is a group of Canadians who do... Alpha Flight! The Canadian government wants the old canucklehead back, and they send their crack team of super operatives after him to pull him back into the fold. Me, I would have sent poutine and TimBits, but I love gravy and doughnuts, so maybe that wouldn't work on everyone.
Then we move into X-Men 121, and wouldn't you know it, those wacky mutants are still in Canada! Miss those one and done issues yet? Well if you do, I have some bad news, they ain't never comin' back! Okay, that may not be entirely true, but they will be few and far between, so strap in for the long haul!

Welcome to another high falootin' edition of the HoXBC! We hope you enjoyed the pony rides, now settle in for another yarn spun by your team of cowpokes!
First up we have the debut of a villain bent on a very specific and seemingly random act of global terrorism, Moses Magnum! He's a strong headed man who don't need no girl, or at least that's what his dating profile says! All this and Sunfire in X-Men 118!
Next in line we have X-Men 119, featuring more Magnum Madness! Will our plucky band of mutants be able to thwart the machinations of Moses?!? (Not the biblical guy)

Welcome back HoXers! We have a special post Valentine's Day treat for you... You're the father! Hooray!!! We hope that the baby has the powers of someone cool like El Guapo, and not totally lame like that loser Wolverine!
In today's episode we cover two of our favorite issues of X-Men. Well, one of our favorites, and one that has a little trouble sticking the landing. And the launch. The middle part is a bit iffy as well.
First up is X-Men 116, where we continue our excellent adventure through the Savage Land. Please note, Bill and Ted were not involved in the making of this issue. BUT, it is still quite resplendent! 
Next up we Have X-Men 117 wherein we learn of Chuck's earliest encounter with Storm, and the Shadow King. Lilandra is here and acting all weird, and the X-Men hit the open seas!

Howdy Ho Book Clubbers! We are back in the saddle and ready to ride the range! And by saddle I mean our comfy chair, and by ride the range I mean load up Marvel U and read about the Men of X!
We have a couple of bangers for you today (It is episode 69 after all!). First up, we head back into the Savage Land in X-Men 114, and Sauron ruins the party yet again!! Plus, and Colossus learns what "Ride on it, my pony" means! 
Then we head to X-Men 115, where the Savage Landery continues! No relation to Tom Landery. Ka-Zar comes and asks the X-Men for help, which Cyclops turns down like a turd. To add insult to injury, he then makes Ka-Zar show them the way out. In addition, we get another issues of a shirtless gang of Savage Landers.

Welcome in once again Blue Retrievers! We hope life is treating you better each and every day! And today is the best day because you get to listen to us! Get ready for some X!
First up is X-Men 112! Magneto has taken the X-Men to his "Self Sufficient" underground death trap, and punishes them for their crimes against him. That they were in no way responsible for. His logic may be flawed, but his dental work is impeccable!
Closing things out is X-Men 113! More great magnetic, volcanic, artic action as things go tits up a mile and a half underground! Who will survive the heat? Who will survive the cold? Who will survive the magnets?!?

Welcome back to the second half of our second Annual! Today we will talk about why watercress soup is making a comeback, how to darn your socks with twine, and making fruit punch with leftover beef gravy! 
Nah! We would rather talk about the year of comics that we read. There were some interesting answers in the first half, what sort of controversy will come up in part two? Listen on!

It's that time of year again! We have scratched our noggins, ate some pie, then scratched some other bits that we shouldn't mention here! And after all that pie and scratching, we have come up with our lists of favorites and some not so favorites. In this first of two parts, we discuss our favorite creative cats, our favorite  issues, heroes, and villains, and a surprise question from Drew! All that, and home remedies from Rob to help with jungle rot! Stick around until the end!

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.
