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!

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!

This week we take a break from all the reviews and smack talk about the X-Men comics to do a review and some smack talk about the biography released by Disney just a week ago, titled simply Stan Lee. Will the gang love it? Will they hate it? Will they spread it on crackers and eat it with noontime tea? You will have to listen to find out!

Welcome once again citizens and well wishers of Krakoa. We come to you today with tales from our early years, well before Jean Grey could tell you what Cyclops, Wolverine, and Emma Frost had for dinner. That's right we are going back to a time when Professor X would use his telepathy to force people to give him a ride to the 7-11 for a Slurpee, and not think twice about it. We look at two great issues from the sixties today, Fantastic Four number 28 and X-Men number six! If you haven't had a chance to read these two yet, we highly recommend you do so. Both written and drawn by the same people, but two significantly different end products. On to the episode!

This is the First episode of sooooo many more to come. The Quiet Council convenes for the first time to discuss X-Men 1-3. We laugh, we cry, we talk a bit of crap about all that is sacred to comic fans.
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.
