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

    In which treading water isn’t always a bad thing; Storm remains an irresponsible leader; nobody should ever trust Dark Beast; we are befuddled by a large metal man; Maggott makes his debut; and we ship the heck out of Deathbird and Bishop.

    • Treading water
    • Gene Nation (again)

    385 – Super Whiny Adults Simulator 64 Sep 12, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which we make an omission; X-Factor’s concept of “underground” is somewhat unconventional; Trevor Chase turns uncanny moppet; and Strong Guy and Lila Cheney have some very silly space adventures.

    384 – The Banality of Evil Sep 05, 2022
    Show notes

    In which it’s hard to be a mutant post-Onslaught; two Chrises make friends; X-Force goes to off-brand Disney World; we are Team Risque; and you can go to the punch dimension but probably shouldn’t stay long.

    383 – A Dude and His Ninjas Aug 29, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which the Crimson Dawn is secretly a bad Daredevil arc; shadow-based transportation requires careful lighting; Dark Phoenix Saga references will not always do you favors; and Earth is big.

    X-PLAINED:

    • Atlan the Dolphin
    • Psylocke and Archangel: Crimson Dawn #1-4
    • What the Crimson Dawn arc should actually be

    • Which X-Man would win a Pinewood Derby race

    NEXT EPISODE: Risque!

    NOTE: Jay’s Gollum voice is unfiltered. He can just do that at will, and it’s kind of upsetting.

    382 – Seven Swords Aug 15, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Brian Braddock has grown as a person; we remain unimpressed by the Crimson Dawn; Marvel discovers email; seven swords to two people is a pretty good ratio; everyone hates Spiral; and love may or may not save the world.

    • Excalibur #107-110

    381 – If We Told You, We’d Have to Kill You Aug 08, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which real life sucks; Havok may or may not be a bad enough dude to rescue mutantkind; X-Factor quits; CD-ROMs were never THAT cool; subtlety is for suckers; Val Cooper hates nothing more than she hates the U.S. government; and Jamie Madrox wants nothing to do with your nonsense.

    • ‘Nuff said

    380 – Arbor Day Aug 01, 2022
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which no one wants to be compared to Chris Bachalo; it’s always a holiday for Generation X; you may already be a Guthrie; M is a fascinating mystery; and Black Tom Cassidy (finally) makes his move.
