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 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 back one and all! We missed you, did you miss us? We have a couple of great issues to look at, so let's jump right into the deep end of the Jell-O tub, shall we?
First up we have X-Men 111, and the return of Magneto! He comes back and is all sorts of crazy once again. He's all souped up and whoopin' ass!
Next up is Marvel Team-Up 70, that's 69 and using your pinky! Thor and Spider-Man team up to fight The Living Monolith, and vie to see who is the biggest dumbass in the Marvel Universe!

Bring the Mutha Fuggin' ruckus! But not to the Christmas party please! Today we have a double dose of X-Men goodness starting with a throw down in Sebastian Shaw's rumpus room! Make sure and leave your keys in the bowl!
In Classic X-Men 7, Sebastian Shaw and his fun lovin' group of lackeys head to the Hellfire Club shindig. Except for Emma Frost who is going to lobotomize someone with her pointy bra if she's not careful! The Sentinels attack, and then the Black King responds in kind. Emma pulls a Charles Xavier, but with more bullets. 
Next up is Marvel Team up 69, with 100 percent less 69 than you would hope. What can be said about this issue that wasn't said the last time The Living Monolith showed up? Spider-Man webbed himself! Ant not in a 69 kind of way either. Although maybe if he uses that last web to pull his leg over his shoulder...
Strap on those X-Booties and get ready for a thrill ride of thrills!

Welcome in, once again, hope the door didn't hit your chin! We sure do love our book clubbers, but we're just not ready to commit! But thank you for stopping by once again! We have a great pair of issues for you right now!
First up, 109! Everyone is back from space, and Wolverine realizes he's wearing a dead man's clothes! He is slightly grossed out, I guess he decided that the underpants was a step too far. Jean explains to her parents that she is a mutant and the Phoenix, and they don't take either well. She also continues to tell EVERYONE EXCEPT SCOTT that Corsair is his father. 
Next up is X-Men 110, a filler issue. It divides the house of X, will the Quiet Council survive? Or will they fall apart like the plot of this book? Only one way to find out!

It's that time again. The air is a little colder, the squirrels hide their nuts in a tree, and we submit to a special kind of torture that is The Champions. Join us won't you? 
In today's super special twofer, we jump in where we left off with Iron Fist. It's the end of a series, and boy, does it go out with a bang! Not the fun kind, but punches are thrown and side dishes are violated in the worst way. 
Next up we close out another series, this time it's the finale of The Champions. Some stuff happens in this book too, mainly Ghost Rider is kind of an ass to Iceman. Oh, the Sentinels and the Brotherhood show up as well, it's a book full of surprises! Enjoy!

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.
