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!

Good Morning seekers of mystery! We have a special trat for y'all today. We are going to look into our crystal ball and talk about a world where cheese is actually good for you! Wait! It's actually something else. Cheese will always be our friend. 
 
Bolivar Trask will forever live in infamy as the man who created the Sentinels. At the end of the day he was hoisted on his own petard, and killed by the very mutant hunting robots he created. But, in this new reality we explore a world where he not only lives, but hugs his son, a mutant himself!
 
Will a world without Sentinels actually exist? Will the X-Men face this new world in their own exciting way? And what of Professor X, what new cries will he be able to commit? Listen in and find out!

Welcome in children... of the Atom! We are back with another fantastic episode of the Strangest Pod if Them All! And boy, have we got strangeness for you today!
 
First up we travel to the distant past of 2018. We were all so innocent then. Sure, our president was a dumbass, but at least he would never tell us to do anything really stupid like drink bleach, right?!? Anyway, we are checking in on the Journey Into Mystery special titled The Birth of Krakoa!!! If you get queasy, you might want to look away as this monster island is pushed into the world. 
 
Next up is Defenders 15, starring everyone's favorite Deus Ex Machina, Dr. Strange! He joins forces with Valkyrie, Hulk, Professor X and  Batman, I mean Nighthawk to take on that loveable scamp, Magneto! This lays the groundwork for perhaps the biggest shift in Marvel continuity, so pay close attention! Have fun, stay safe, and avoid the nuclear facilities in your neighborhood, lest ye develop bomb sniffing toes!

Welcome back book cubbites! It's time to use the X word! We are digging in on some X-Adjacent goodness this week. But if you look into the distance you can see Claremont juuuuuuust over the horizon. 
I hope you are in the mood for more Hawkeye, because he's first up here today! For some reason, he came to San Francisco and decided to dress conservatively. But in Daredevil 99, he is nothing short of a spectacular turd! I can't believe Black Widow ever put up with this jobber. Apparently the guy who worked in the darts section at Big 5 was on break.
Next we had back to the to the Avengers to see what's the happy haps with Iron Man and the crew! Magneto is here in all of his dickish glory! Today on the list of "Weird shit Eric did" we add used magnetism to make your daughter a belly dancer! Not weird and creepy at all. Plus he drugs Angel and wears his clothes. This one has it all kids!

On today's episode, Hawkeye is a butthole! Wait, that's all the episodes with Hawkeye in them... Vision and Scarlet Witch are here as well! Quicksilver doesn't like Hawkeye horning in on his butthole racket so he cranks it up a notch. Plus Magento shows up, so we have the aa hat trifecta!

Plus the Mimic is here, can't seem to have an X-Men appearance without one of the mutant sour puss club showing up! What sort of mischief will these three get up to? Listen in and find out!

Welcome back Clubbitess! We missed you! Not enough to let you borrow the car mind you, but we did miss you! And boy oh boy, do we have a pair of X-Adjacent comics for you today!
First up is Amazing Adventures 12, where the Beast throws down with Iron Man! See, back in the day, Iron Man wasn't the heavy hitter he is now, so catching fists from a newly transformed Hank McCoy wasn't so outside his wheelhouse! BUT, the ladies still loved him, even back when he smelled like a moonshine still!
 
Next up is Avengers number 102! Hawkeye is creepy, Vision has a family reunion, and Quicksilver is a butthole! All this and the Black Panther too!

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.
