a conversation about ableism, disability, and the portrayal of wheelchair-using characters in comics! With Gabriella (the Girl Who Sits) and Dayspring (Power of X)! Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to a very special episode of Graymalkin Lane. Charles Xavier is many things: the most powerful mutant mind on the planet, the leader of an army of super-powered teenagers, a designer of weapons and robots, and a man with a mysterious and complicated background, but he has always stood out for one reason above all others. Charles Xavier is in a wheelchair.

For nearly 60 years, Professor X has been an inspiration to the disabled community. Whether you know him as the complicated secret-keeper in the comics, the decisive leader in his hover-chair in the cartoons, or the compassionate mutant rights advocate played by Patrick Stewart or James McAvoy in the films, you've been inspired by this character. But despite his complexities, Xavier is a character directly associated with being in a wheelchair, and he has almost always been written by (and portrayed by) people who don't have disabilities.

For this conversation-based episode, Chad is joined by Dayspring (from the Power of X podcast) and special guest Gabriel Garbero (who writes the Girl Who Sits blog) to talk all about ableism, disability, and the portrayal of characters who use wheelchairs in comic books.

Show notes

This week, Graymalkin Lane puts the Beast on trial! One of the original X-Men, the bouncing, big-footed, verbose Beast has always been a fan favorite, through his many transformations, his most beloved form being the blue-furred super-scientist we love from the 90s cartoon. But in recent years, Beast has become almost hated by fans as he keeps making very problematic decisions. Hear your host Chad and our esteemed jury of Alicia and Justin (X-Wife Podcast), Dylan and Regina (House of X), Noelle (X-Men Unraveled), Bradley, and Bethany talk about Beast's complicated history and psychology, then put him on trial for his most heinous decisions.

X-Men 21: From Whence Comes... Dominus? With Cory and George Michael! Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to Graymalkin Lane, where queer friends gather to review and discuss the original X-Men Comics from the 1960s! So, this episode, we switch the format slightly. Chad, his partner Mike, and his close friends Cory and George Michael recorded in the evening, and there was wine involved, so here we had four buddies reading an X-Men comic with a tremendous amount of innuendos. So... well... this episode gets a little bit rated R, but it's also super hilarious. If you enjoy the saucier side of Graymalkin, you'll enjoy this episode a lot. The X-Men face the threat of Lucifer, Dominus, and the Ultra-Robots! Lucifer builds his base in a butte! And we meet Porter Mack and his male friends from the dude ranch!

Chad will be a little less active on social media this week as he is on vacation. (This episode has been uploaded early and set for release on Tuesday morning). See you next week as we get back to our regular format!
