Ep.188 - Video James Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Episode Notes

What's Wolverine's favorite video game system? The XBox I'm sorry.

We're talking about X-Men games tie-ins, some video, some card. These comics are not good, they have never been good, and they never would be good. But they are weird hell and I know you crazy kids love weird comics. Honestly? We get pretty distracted and don't talk about comics and instead Zack talks about playing video games in his friend Dave Newman's basement. Don't worry, it's still a super exciting episode to listen to.

Ranked this episode:

X-Men: Prelude to Perdition
X-Men: The Movie Special #1 (WotC)
X-Men: Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse

We dive into Nova Roma. It's bad. We don't care for it. So we listen to "Up The Wolves" by The Mountain Goats, a song that must have been inspired by that terrible New Mutants arc. John Darnielle please confirm.

New Mutants #7-12 (Nova Roma)
New Mutants Forever
