Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0042: Epic X-Men Re-Read – Uncanny X-Men (1963) #116-117

March 22, 2021 by krisis Leave a Comment

Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!

In this episode we read Uncanny X-Men (1963) #116-117 and back-up stories that fit during after #116 in Classic X-Men (1986) #22-23 (but NOT a contemporaneous story from #24, which we’re saving until later). The X-Men agree to assist Ka-Zar in liberating the Savage Land from Garrok’s control before setting sail for any sign of non-Antarctic land.

Meanwhile, Xavier flashes back to a day in his past with two significant first contacts – with Storm and Amahl Farouk, The Shadow King!

Our conversation on issue #117 includes thorough spoilers for House of X and Powers of X, plus some implied spoilers about certain characters participating in current X-books.

Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0041: This Week in X, 17 March 2021

March 20, 2021 by krisis Leave a Comment

It’s This Week in X for 17 March, 2021!

Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss SWORD (2021) #4 and X-Force (2020) #18.

In SWORD #4 we dug into the kinetic Portal-style fight scene, Frenzy’s cutting mid-battle quip, the dynamics of Brand and The Five, and clues to Magneto’s new proposal for the Quiet Council. Will Krakoa fall to Knull’s symbiote army?

In X-Force #18 we took a tour through the team’s desires, including Black Tom’s tickle time, Jean’s bedtime routine, Beast’s fears of inadequacy, and Sage drinking her way out of being perfect.

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.

Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0040: This Week in X, 10 March 2021

March 13, 2021 by krisis Leave a Comment

It’s This Week in X for 10 March, 2021!

Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss X-Factor (2020) #8, Children of the Atom (2021) #1, and Wolverine: Black White & Blood (2021) #4.

No recent issue has divided the four of us quite as much as Children of the Atom #1! Are these characters the next generation of X-Men? We talk about cultural appropriation, acceptance, what we want to see from X-books, and a whole lot more.

In X-Factor #8, our love affair with X-Factor continues and we had a lot to say about efficiency of storytelling, Morrigan’s plans, the upsides of death, the losses of resurrection, Xavier-avoidance, and more.

Wolverine: Black White & Blood #4 – should you buy it or skip it? We share our lightning round reactions to each of the three stories to help you decide. Plus: What X-Men should next get a 2-color anthology? 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.

Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0039: Epic X-Men Re-Read – Uncanny X-Men (1963) #114-115

March 8, 2021 by krisis Leave a Comment

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

In this episode we read Uncanny X-Men (1963) #114-115 and a back-up that fits between these issues in Classic X-Men (1986) #21. We also briefly comment on Mystique’s debut in Ms. Marvel (1977) #16-18 so that we can discuss a later story about Mystique and Rogue from Marvel Fanfare (1982) #60 (2nd story).

In Uncanny X-Men, Jean and Beast think the X-Men are dead and barely make it out of Antarctica themselves. Meanwhile, Cyclops and the rest of the team tunnel out of Magneto’s volcano to emerge in The Savage Land! There, they have to repeatedly fight for their survival, but are initially unwilling to assist Ka-Zar with liberating his home from a self-proclaimed god.

Marvel Fanfare (1982) #60 is a story of one of Rogue’s first missions with Mystique and her nascent Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, which leads us to discuss the sexual and addictive nature of Rogue’s powers. Our conversation includes one very minor comment about a character and his location in Hickman’s era of X-Men – it’s barely even a spoiler.

Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0038: This Week in X, 3 March 2021

March 6, 2021 by krisis Leave a Comment

It’s This Week in X for 3 March, 2021!

Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss Hellions (2020) #10. Plus, Tyler and Fariha pitch Peter on Peach Momoko’s Demon Days: X-Men #1!

Hellions #10 was all about sweet dreams and worst nightmares, and we dug into what that meant for Psylocke & Havok. Plus, was a tortured Sinister as satisfying as we thought it’d be?

For Demon Days: X-Men, Fariha and Tyler share their favorite elements of Peach Momoko’s debut as a writer & interior/sequential artist in this story influenced by Japanese folk tales.

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.

Updated: X-Men Reading Order Guide – Era #2: Second Genesis (Bronze Age)

March 2, 2021 by krisis Leave a Comment

This is available to everyone, but it was made possible via the support of Patrons of Crushing Krisis:

The Revised & Expanded X-Men Reading Order Guide – Era #2: Second Genesis

Now that I’ve re-read all of the X-Men Classic back-up stories and Marvel Team-Up issues as part of our Epic X-Men (re)Read, I had some adjustments to make to this guide. I also rebuilt my reading order database, which allowed me to catch some stray appearances mentioned in the comments of the page.

I think the most-significant change to this reading order is that I’ve promoted a handful of Iron Fist and Marvel Team-Up issues to be required reading from being optional, since they were written by Claremont and fill in actions and relationships referred to later in the main Uncanny run.
