This is a big one kids! We dive into what is arguably one of the most important books in X-Men history. Today we are talking about Marvel Graphic Novel Number Five, God Loves, Man Kills. The imagery and storytelling in this book help redefine the future of the X-Men in a way that is still being felt today. This one has all kinds of trigger warnings, and adult content, so much like late night Cinemax, Listener discretion is advised.

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...

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!

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!

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.
