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!

We are back in Mendocino once again, and there is candy! Not in a creepy white van way though...
This wee we are reading the origin of Wolverine titled... Origin! They dug deep for that one! BUT, we press on like dollar store nails. Wolverine is a very sick boy, and boy does he have funny ways of showing it. Roll call for trauma. We must go north (said no one ever). More trauma. Canadian bare knuckle fighting, coming this summer to FOX! By the way, have we mentioned the trauma yet? Oh, and a redheaded girl for 'ol James to pine for. All this, and Cookie too, on the next House of X Book Club!

Welcome home X-Clubbers! How was school? Did you make any new friends? 
We have a dilly of a pickle for you today! Drew pitches a great idea to the crew, and we have a special in person round table discussion about the topic. What might that be you ask? Well today we trek back to when Professor X faked his death the first(?) time, and Changeling took his place. With all the mutants gathered, someone takes the opportunity to step up and offer an alternative. Today we probe the question : What If Mastermind Joined the X-Men!?!"

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.
