House of X Book Club

Episode 85 - The Pod on Trial for Treason!

Welcome home True Believers! We have some amazing stuff for you! Get your toes in a pre-curled position, and let's dig into some delicious X-Goodness!
First up we have X-Men 142, where The Days of Future Past story concludes. This story has been told a thousand times since, but this is the first, and dare I say, best?!?
Next up is Dazzler number one! Shall we say a palette cleanser from the darkens of those Future Days of the Past? I think we shall. Spider-Man, Enchantress, the X-Men, and Beast all guest star in the book! And it's only 22 pages, so you know a lot of stuff is going down!
Enjoy kids, and don't forget to drink your Crystal Pepsi!

Episode 84 - Podkano Lives!

Welcome home Book Clubbers! We have some hot steamy X-Goodness for you, plated up and ready to serve. Shall we dive in? 
First up we have Marvel Team Up 100, where the phrase "Quality is Our Only Compromise" originated. BUT, it is also the first appearance of the mutant who will become known as Karma, so we at least got that. 
And in a complete 180 from that comic, we jump right in to X-Men 141, the penultimate chapter of Days of Future Past. If we need to tell you much about this book, man you are in for a roller coaster of emotion. Death, disaster, and time travel, what more could you ask for? Let's get at them books!

Episode 83 - A-Pod Came a Spider!

Welcome back Book Clubbers! And welcome in anyone who is new to the show! We hope you have enjoyed the journey so far, and are looking forward to the things to come. We have a dynamite duo of digests for you this week, so let's jump in!
First up, X-Men 139! Wolverine decides to cut the Canadian Government off at the pass and head up there before they come after him for the seventeenth time in five issues. He and Nightcrawler take off for the great white north and meet some old pals along the way. Not many people can claim to have man eating mythological beasts on their Boxing Day card list, but not everyone is Wolverine. He is the best he is at what he does, remember? 
Next we dig our grubby little paws into X-Men 140! Now with more fiber! If you have ever wondered how you bridge two of the biggest stories in comic book history it's quite simple, go to Canada! That way tou can gran some Tim Horton's and poutine and enjoy the fisticuffs between Alpha Flight and everyone's favorite horror show, the Wendigo! Man, those Canadians are a hot mess when it comes to cannibalism, aren't they? Anyway, enjoy!

Episode 82 - Pod--In a World of Darkness!

Once again Blue Retrievers, we dive into all things X! In fact we have a double dose once again! So let's get right to it!
First up we have X-Men 138, the book that answers the question, "What if the X-Men were a 70's sitcom, but everyone was sad?" I bet you didn't know anyone ever asked that question did you? Well Messiers Claremont and Byrne did, and now they're pushing it on us! Oh, and Cyclops quits the team. 
Next is X-Men Annual 4, where the team goes to hell! Or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. Nightcrawler's mom and old lady get up to some wacky 80s style shenanigans, and they manage to confuse Doctor Strange. Not as confused as when Danny Rand stuck his finger in a strangers' potato salad, but pretty close! Also, we find out some oddly held beliefs by Roger about Canadian women. All this and Wolverine hugs a snake, so listen in!

Episode 81 - The Podcast!

   Once again HoXBCers, we come to you with a message of joy. no Hope! NO! Grease! It's the word that you heard, don't ya know! Either way we bring you stories of all things X, in a way that makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy on the insides!
   We are deep into Dark Phoenix country in issue 136, and unlike Hunter S Thompson, we can't fend these bats off with a flyswatter and mescaline. But we can pay a visit to Jean's parents, and the X-Mansion, and outer space. There is a lot of traveling in this book, just a warning. 
  Next up is issue 137,   sponsored by Pink Floyd! Well, kinda. The wacky band of Merry Mutants make their way to the Blue Area of the moon. Little known fact, this is also where The Blue Man Group is from, and The Watcher is just squatting in their house while they are on tour. He says he is watching the cat, but no one has seen the poor little guy in about three weeks. They are going to be so mad when they get home! Also in this issue, we wrap up the Phoenix Saga, and it really is a banger kids. Who lives, who dies, who mind wipes the children so they forget he stole their Halloween candy (Hint: It's Charles). You will have to listen in to find out!

And then you will never be able to unsee. 
Then in X-Men 133 Sebastian Shaw shows us his weird nipples. Again. And again. And again. His secret mutant power is mental anguish from seeing him topless, so buckle up, because it's gonna be a rocky road for a bit. BUT, we get to see Wolverine do what he does best, so there is always murder to look forward to! Join us for the fun won't you?

Because that's where you take the guy that looks like the devil, punk rock disco! The rest of the X-Men go to Chicago to look at porn, I mean recruit Katherine Pryde!
