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!

Today on the House of X The Quiet Council digs deep into some X-Men lore. We talk about numbers 21 and 22. Lucifer brings us Dominus, the machine that can only be defeated by Professor X in a really bad Gandalf cosplay. And in issue 22, the X-Men encounter Count Nefaria and a list of Spider-Man B team villains that can only be described as... meh. I guess Count Nefaria spent his entire budget moving his castle to America piece by piece and didn't have anything left to score a Doc Oc or Green Goblin for this one. All this, plus the sulkiest team leader to ever grace a comic book in no way makes a move for the woman he loves. Way to bring the whole vibe down Cyclops!

Good day House of X listeners, I have a question for you. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Daredevil fought pirates? Would it turn out the same as when Iceman and Human Torch fought pirates, or perhaps when the British Navy took their turn? Well wait no longer funny book fans! Today is the day when we talk about the very issue where Matt Murdock takes a trip to a land that is SAVAGE! That's right, today we are looking at Daredevil #12 and X-Men #20! I addition to piratey goodness, we witness some Blob, Unus, and Lucifer three way action! The triple threat you won't soon forget! Or maybe you will, my memory isn't what it used to be so I am lucky to make it out the door with pants, much less what happened when Lucifer tangentially put together a team of mutant villains! Come now, and listen to the marvelous marvels that await you in another exciting episode of The House of X Book Club!

In this episode we get into some magical mutant mayhem! We dig into our usual two issues, today it's X-Men #19 Strange Tales #120. We meet Mimic, perhaps the biggest turd in the X-Punchbowl! Once we move on from his craptastic attitude, we venture over to Strange Tales where Iceman and Human Torch go on a swingers cruise. Fair warning, Stan did not know what swingers were, so temper your expectations. Instead, they fight pirates! On the Hudson River! In the 1920s! How will two super powered heroes ever overcome the menace of pirates? Listen and discover the truth in this exciting episode of HOUSE OF X!!!!

On this episode of HoXBC, we talk about issues 13 and 14. Jack Kirby is about to give the X-Men the big 'ol middle finger and leave the book. Which he will soon also do to Stan! But enough with the real life drama, let's dig into some X-Drama. That's the name of Boom Boom's team in the new Krakoa era for those not paying attention. Here in the early days though, we talk about the second half of the Juggernaut story and the debut of the Sentinels! Throw your robotic hands in the air! And wave them like you want to kill mutants! Oh, and Professor X acts like a dick some more.

This week in the House of X, we run into The Stranger! And if grade school taught us anything, remember, always STRANGER DANGER!!! And in the second half of our show, Juggernaut craps his pants! Oh wait, he's only drawn to look like that. He makes his first appearance in a comic. And he has come to stop the evil that Professor X is visiting upon his unsuspecting students. Either that or smash up the place a bit. Which one will it be? You will have to listen to find out!

Hey everybody! Welcome Drew to the Pod! In this episode, we discuss two more great books from the House of Ideas! Journey Into Mystery #109 and X-Men #10! WATCH as Thor fights Magneto and loses the power of his hammer! MARVEL as The Beast says something sexist! RECOIL as Ka-Zar almost loses his loincloth! All this and more awaits in another round of action packed action that is the House of X Book Club!
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.
Can't get enough of the X-Team? Come follow us on the social medias:
