    In which there’s always room for another X-cast; Cecilia Reyes wasn’t even supposed to be here today; Sabra has indestructible underwear; prime sentinels are probably even worse pets than quail; Marrow probably swears more than superhero comics allow for; and Operation Zero Tolerance comes to an end.

    393 – Camping With Uncle Mustang Nov 28, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Operation Zero Tolerance continues; the X-Men take over Wolverine; wolverine is the designated John McClane of the X-Men; torsos are confusing places; and we sincerely hope that Jean Grey got to do some off-panel dating.

    392 – The Mullet of Leadership Nov 21, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Chris Bachalo changes things up; we theorize about Prime Sentinel hierarchy; the headmasters go undercover; fictional characters spend a lot of time in sewers; M’s secret comes to light; J. Jonah Jameson is at his best in X-books; Jay pitches a video game; Marrow gets a makeover; and part of journalistic integrity is choosing what not to cover.

    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    390 – Corners and Conspiracies Oct 31, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Danielle Moonstar quiet quits; a bunch of people regular quit; we are pleasantly surprised by the survival of a minor character; tough guys wear hearts; and X-Force once again takes its place as the best comic of the line.

    389 – Wreck Gotta Recognize Oct 24, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which some puns are fundamentally visual; Jubilee is a really good kid; Bastion is a bad person but a good villain; Bachalo does Romita; Seagulls are assholes (but reasonably good narrators); Skin has no time for fantasies; Hitch does Cockrum; and Operation Zero Tolerance (unofficially) begins (again).

    X-PLAINED:

    388 – Deceit and Death Oct 10, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which there’s a lot of good television out there; Shang-Chi says the title of the story at every possible opportunity; Wolverine is probably not a Deadhead; Sebastian Shaw thinks he’s a bigger deal than he is; and Operation Zero Tolerance officially begins.
