It’s This Week in X for 6 January, 2021!

Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariha’s specially-nominated guest-mutant Harry as we discuss Hellions (2020) #8 and X-Factor (2020) #6.

Hellions sees Sinister’s team facing down Cameron Hodge and a fleet of deadly AI-driven mutant-killing robots. How do they get out of yet another potential suicide mission… and, what little souvenir does Nanny retrieve before they depart? X-Factor (2020) #6 finds our team of super-powered super-detectives investigating Siryn’s death… *another* one. Who keeps killing Siryn, does the team trust her, and why is one member intent on starting a “body garden” in their back yard?!

Spoiler warning – we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from this week, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.

It’s This Week in X for 30 December, 2020!

Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariha’s specially-nominated guest-mutant Harry as we discuss Wolverine (2020) #8 and X-Men (2019) #16.

The cover of Wolverine teases a throwdown with Maverick, but is that what we find inside this 350th anniversary issue? Meanwhile, X-Men finds the Quiet Council experiencing a series of rejections – between Krakoa and Arrako, in their overtures to Isca, and from Jean and Scott – who plan to reform the X-Men, but in a new and unusual way!

It’s This Week in X!

Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariah’s specially-nominated guest-mutant Harry as we discuss the only X-book out on Christmas Eve Eve, Excalibur (2019) #16.

This issue picks up the pieces from X of Swords, but not all of the pieces of our departed Betsy Braddock. Can this team work some mutant magic to put her back together?

It’s another edition of our Epic X-Men (Re)Read! Tyler and I re-explore the classic Claremont material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!

In this episode we discuss the debut of Chris Claremont’s first original mutant – Black Tom Cassidy in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #102-103, as well as a pair of stories he inserts around that in back-ups from Classic X-Men (1986) #10-11. (Actually, the back-up in issue #10 fits much earlier, and we’ve discussed it already.)

Our conversation includes some minor spoilers for House of X and Powers of X and the subsequent year of X-Men comics!

And, of course, you can follow the full X-Men Reading Order for yourself if you’d like to get ahead of us.
