    In which we spend a large amount of time on a group of small characters; X-Babies stories cover a wide range of quality; Mojo is relegated to public access; the ‘Vengers rebel against their creator; the X-Babies excavate Star Comics; we adjust our opinion of the mid-‘90s; and WandaVision is probably not connected to the Mojoverse.

    X-PLAINED:

    HAWK TALK – Call Any Vegetable Feb 08, 2021
    Show notes

    This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, we talked about vegetables. Kind of.

    • Ghost vs. slime trees
    • Dwarves in the rutabagas

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

    In which the X-Babies fail to charm; clones are people, too; Iceman doesn’t (quite) come out; Gambit and Bishop bond; Joseph comes into ambiguous being; and Principal Nezu and Charles Xavier would probably get along okay.

    321 – Revolving Doors Jan 25, 2021
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Sabretooth does not get effectively rehabilitated; nobody has the moral high ground; Val Cooper is the worst possible person to call in any emergency; Bishop needs a better support system; Jay knows several things about onions; and not everything has to be a mammal.

    320 – The Accountability Wagon Jan 18, 2021
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Pete Wisdom is the guy you love to glare at; Nightcrawler is right (and a delightfully complex individual); Colossus has a lot of issues; and Wolfsbane gets the confrontation we’ve been waiting for since the New Mutants graphic novel.

    X-PLAINED:

    • Wolfsbane’s powers
    • Excalibur #91-93
    • The somewhat nebulous age of Kitty Pryde

    319 – Giant-Size Special #9 (feat. Vita Ayala, Tini Howard, and Leah Williams) Jan 04, 2021
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Jay and Miles receive a mysterious missive and are visited by three of our favorite X-writers; Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix is a pleasant surprise; Nathaniel Essex is the most dramatic man in the Marvel Universe; the sewers of Victorian London were a happenin’ place; Apocalypse isn’t even French; Beast is the flip-side of Sinister; community is for everyone; the Internet is (kind of) Krakoa; and death is fixable, but trauma might take a little more work.

    X-PLAINED:

    • A quotation
    • Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix #1-4
    • A closed loop
    • Time travel with Scott Summers and Jean Grey

    HAWK TALK – Surviving 2020 Dec 28, 2020
    Show notes

    This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, we talked (exhaustedly) about This Freaking Year.

    Topics, roughly:

    • This year was pretty rough
    • Maybe next year will be better?

    NOTE: Miles watched Knives Out immediately after recording this episode, and Jay was right: it is delightful.
