Cone on in Book Clubbers, we have some great stuff for you today! And Champions number 2 as well!
 
First up we dive into X-Men 96. It's the first appearance of one of the most important people from the Krakoan Era, besides Krakoa itself. Also, the X-Men fight a moose with a woman's face! Not really, but I would totally read that one.
 
Next up we have Champions 2, where Ghost Rider goes to Malibu for an enema, Angel and Black Widow do some beach grieving, and Iceman goes to WeHo and becomes Icetwink! Again, some of that may or may not happen, you will just have to listen to find out which statement is true!

Come on in Blue Retrievers, and have a sit by the fire! We are gonna be spinnin' some yarns for ya, and have we got a couple of doozies for ya today!
 
First off, we dive on in to X-Men 95, Featuring the antics of Count Nefaria and his Ani-Men! They all get to a'hootin and a'hollerin, and the X-Men come to save the day! No way this one turns out poorly for anyone on the team!
 
Next up we have Champions number one, because everyone needs to know what happens when Angel and Iceman team up with a god, a demon, and a lady with a broken heart. They move in together, open a Taco Bell franchise, and maybe even find love? All this plus some weird Roman/Greek good hybrid thing on a very special episode of Cheers! 
 
Wait, I mean House of X Book Club!

Welcome back book club clubbers, we have a humming dinger for you today! Are you ready? Do you have your water wings on? Then let's dive in!
First up we jump in to X-Men 94. We are still basking in the afterglow of our wonderful Giant Sized last issue, but we are getting into the thick of it with the return of Count Nefaira! He and his new Pound Puppy crew are causing a ruckus, and only the X-Men can stop him!
 
Next is a trip forward in time for a look back! We jump ahead and Read What If Volume 2 number 9, where we as What if the New X-Men died on Their First Mission? Honestly it's a miracle that Chuck hasn't killed these children a thousand times over by this point, but we will go ahead and focus on this one time.

All right book Clubbers! Are you ready for this one? It's so big, they had to call it GIANT SIZED! For those unfamiliar there are a couple of new characters joining the team, and a giant killer vampire island who is lonely and looking for love! Will his pitching of the woo win the heart of the fjords of Vestfjordan? Or will everyone realize this is all a bad joke and jump in and listen! Hopefully the second!

Welcome back Book Clubbers! Did you miss us? We missed you! How about we read some funny books that are not books, and in this case, not intentionally funny? Let's go!
 
First up we dive into Hulk #181. There is a first full appearance in here, but what we really focus on is the love story! Will they? Won't They? Listen along and see!
 
Next up we get Giant Sized! That's right, it's finally time to read Giant Sized Fantastic Four #4! This one has it all! Clone babies, football games, dead parents in bed, and Professor X plummeting from the sky in a wheelchair! And the biggest shock of all, he's not really a Professor! All that and Medusa in a story so big, it had to be Giant Sized!
 
If you have a sec, give us a call and tell us your favorite moment from the first era of all things X! If you do, we will play it on a future episode and talk about it. 510-397-9673 is the voicemail number, we hope to hear from you!

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 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.
