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!

In Episode 15 the HoXBC compare Millennium Falcons! And then they talk about X-Men 25 and 26. Cerebro works it non-mutant mutant detecting magic, a man becomes a god, and then gets Jaundice! Or maybe the coloring technology wasn't as good back in the day, I can't remember! We are still very much in the era of every sentence ending with an exclamation point though, so even when characters whisper, there is GREAT EMPHASIS! Come and join us won't you?!?

In another exciting episode of the pod, we dive into another couple of interesting issues! Frist we read X-Men number 24, featuring the crafty and conniving Locust! Otherwise known as Doctor Hopper, who perhaps had a villainous moniker a little too on the nose.  The first part of an exciting (???) Locust thrillogy! It does span a few years so buckle up! 
In our second issue, we dive into Daredevil number 13! John Romita Sr. Drew this one, so story be damned, it's gonna be good! We love us some JRSR here at the HoXBC survival bunker. I mean Compound! I mean Campaign Headquarters! Man, these just keep getting more and more evil...
Anyway, come and join us as Professor X does a mean Gandlaf cosplay and Ka-Zar tries to kill it with fire!

Welcome back book clubbers! We have got a banger of an episode for you today! We discuss the many faces of Roger's eyebrows, as well as comic books! X-Men 23 and Avengers 13 to be precise. The battle with the Spider-Man J tier villains continues for what seems LIKE AN ETERNITY, and Porcupine may have committed a sex crime as he keeps asking The Unicorn if he wants to see how his pricker works. And in Avengers number 13, we meet Count Nefaria for the first time, so Iron Man and his gang are to blame for this whole mess. Current comic readers will recognize our buddy the count from New Mutants Lethal Legion, but it will be a while before we get to those books. The Dungeon of Doom also makes its first appearance. This is a real dungeon, not Kevin Sullivan and his Lethal Legion bent on the destruction of Hulkamania! Will the X-Men survive? What heinous crimes will Professor X commit? How will Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage survive the Tower of Terror match against 8 other men? You will have to listen to find out! (WCW results from 1996 are not discussed during this episode)

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!!!!

In issue 18 Magneto gets up to his old tricks, with the same old eyebrows in tow. Hop on board the train to X-Town, make sure Charles leaves your memory intact!

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.
