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 once again fellow Atom Children, we hope the post apocalyptic wasteland is treating you well. We have a very special episode for you today, for on this morn, our very own Rob sits down for an interview with renowned academic and author Anna Peppard! They talk all things X, and maybe some Y and Z for good measure. They also dig into some of her work, with a focus on Supersex: Sexuality, Fantasy, and the Superhero, an anthology which she oversaw! So tune in and listen to this Amazing, no Astonishing, NO! UNCANNY interview with Rob and Anna!

Welcome back Book Club clubbers! We have another exciting episode ready for your earholes! Just a quick warning, one of us had some tech issues, so we don't sound up to our usual standards. The issues are still great, so listen on! First up we dive into X-Men 126 and the hunt for Mutant X! He's definitely gonna give it to ya! He also changes his name rather quickly this issue, so be ready for that. The whole team is out in force to face a mutant so powerful Moira is ready to go all scorched earth up in the moors! Then we head right on into X-Men 127 where the story continues! This goes from Scotland to Alabama real quick, as Proteus (by way of Mutant X) becomes his own dad! And not in that awkward "I'm My Own Grandpa" song kinda way. Will he be able to defeat the X-Men and wear their skin like a plastic Halloween costume from the 80s? Listen in and find out!

Hey kids! We hope you are having as much fun as we are cruising through the greatest era of X-Men ever! Let's jump right in shall we? First up we have X-Men Annual 3. This book proves the renewed faith in the X-Men line as it is the first time they didn't just throw some reprints at the wall and hope they stick! We get some odd choices made by the being Arkon, as he can't decide where to drill for oil! Not really, but he does have some power issues on his home world and hopes to bully Thor into helping. Since he's not free he goes for the closest mutant alternate on his list. After that, wackiness ensues! Next on the list is X-Men 125, where the madcap murderishness of Arcade continues to run amok! Will Collossus' new pants of the people lead him to victory? Or will his teammates show him the denim of defeat? Listen on and find out!

Welcome back Blue Retrievers! We here at the House of X Book Club are mighty happy you are here! We have yet another banger for you so everybody hold onto your butts! We are heading into the Arcade today! Not the cool one with Skee-Ball and awkward teenagers, but the horrible one with murder pinball and awkward teens! In issue 123, Spider-Man makes what is generously called a guest appearance. I'm not saying that description is incorrect, I'm just saying most of my guests don't out my secret identity to the streets of New York! Next up we read issue 124, and boy howdy do things get weird! This one has everything! Robot cars, weird mazes that make you feel like you are tripping balls, and a dancing monkey that throws wooden nickels at your children. He's hard to spot and you may not even see him at all unless you take some really good drugs before you read the book. What other sort of nonsense will happen? You will have to listen to find out!

Welcome home Book Clubbers! Today we have a very special episode for you! Not like those very special episodes of blossom that used to air where Joey was addicted to s'mores, but a sit down interview with the owner of the very best comic book store ever, Crush Comics very own Josh Hunter! We talk about how he got into comics, what it is like to own a comic book store, his awesome family, and of course the X-Men! Come have a seat and listen in! https://www.crushcomics.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Email: houseofxbookclub@gmail.com Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/ New Website!https://houseofxbookclub.com/
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?!?

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!

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.
