Show notes

It's a whole new era on Graymalkin Lane as we jump into the early 2000s, where Marvel Comics was a very different company and the X-Men was a busy franchise. Years after his famous runs on X-Men, Alpha Flight, and more, John Byrne launched a whole new series set in the early years, before Giant-Size X-Men #1 ever launched! And this week, Chad has the honor of being joined by that books editor, Jason Liebig (now a beloved host on the History Channel) and that books colorist, Gregory Wright! With co-host Justin Kosmachuk!
