It’s the audio version of This Week in X from the week of the 25th of November!

The final week of X of Swords is so huge we had to break it in two! Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariha as we dissect two of the three X-Men comics of 25 November, 2020 – X-Men (2019) #15 and Excalibur (2019) #15. They’re the 20th & 21st chapters of X of Swords, and they’re packed with political debate and action on the battlefield.

We have a lot to discuss about the tensions amongst the Quiet Council as one of their members wants to lead a more X-Men-esque heroic mission, which raises questions of if utopia is ever perfect and when we have to choose between family and country. Spoiler warning – we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from the 18th of November, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.
