Crushing Krisis

We’re back for more classic X-Men! Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!

In this episode we discuss Chris Claremont’s first use of Magneto and his escalation of Phoenix to the realm of cosmic power from Uncanny X-Men (1963) #104-105, as well as a pair of stories he inserts around that in back-ups from Classic X-Men (1986) #12-13.

Our conversation includes some minor spoilers for House of X and Powers of X – especially for House of X #2, so you’ve been warned!

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

It’s This Week in X for 13 January, 2021!

Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss Marauders (2019) #17 and SWORD (2021) #2.

Marauders finds both Emma Frost and Callisto ready to make major changes to their status quo – but how will that effect Storm and the rest of the Marauders team? Plus, Storm has a decision of her own. SWORD sees Abigail Brand’s new team sucked into Earth’s conflict with Knull, space king of the symbiotes. Can Krakoa repel a fraction of Knulls symbiote invasion? And, what member of the SWORD team has been Venomized?

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.

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?!
