    176 – My Flashback With Andre Dec 11, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which we were on public radio; it’s probably best just to ignore Romulus; Miles still hasn’t seen the Prisoner and should be very ashamed of himself; toy licensing is the stuff of nightmares; you can upgrade your bloodbath for an additional $1.25; Jay may or may not have family ties to Weapon X; we are suckers for die-cut covers; Wolverine knows how to commit to a gag; and you have some pretty remarkable dreams.

    X-PLAINED:

    • Wolverine’s CIA contacts
    • Murder-related birthday traditions
    • Wolverine #48-50
    • The ship Righteous Indignation and the ‘ship Righteous Indignation

    • Jay & Miles’s adventures in YOUR DREAMS

    NEXT EPISODE: Centaurs of Texas

    CORRECTION: Kyle Rayner’s girlfriend was the source of the Women In Refrigerator’s trope–not Hal Jordan’s, as Jay stated in this episode.

    175 – Lady Windermere’s Fan Club Dec 04, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Gambit is transatlantically terrible; Rick Leonardi is the poor man’s Alan Davis (but in a good way); we try and fail to care about British royals; Miles should probably read some Oscar Wilde already; Jay has a lot of feelings about The Rocketeer; Shadowcat gets a genuinely stylish costume; and we would read the hell out of a series about Destiny, Mystique, and Wolverine’s WWII adventures.

    • X-Men: True Friends #1-3
    • The poor man’s Alan Davis

    173 – The Muir Island Saga, Part 2 Nov 20, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Abs-lantis will not be denied; “slightly traumatized” is basically the default state of Xavier’s original students; we pick up the slack for Nicieza; Banshee and Moira MacTaggert probably have an active and varied love life; Xavier miscounts the X-Men; we look back over the Claremont/Simonson era of the X-Universe; and Jay makes a case for the re-resurrection of Jean Grey.

    • Namor’s beard
    • The conclusion of the Muir Island Saga
    • Uncanny X-Men #280

    The visual companion to this episode will be up sometime before the end of 2017, by which point Jay’s lungs will hopefully be working again. Yay?

    172 – The Muir Island Saga, Part 1 Nov 13, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which you are probably more familiar with this show than Jay and Miles are; Paul Smith makes good art; the Shadow King is so extra that his narration has its own narration; Evil Sexy Moira is a fashion queen; there are absolutely no circumstances in which it is appropriate to use the phrase “fist-o-rama”; Legion gets possessed; and we know absolutely nothing about Pokémon.

    X-PLAINED:

    • Universes where people are other people
    • What Miles thought of Thor: Ragnorok (spoiler-free)
    • The Muir Island Saga (Part 1)
    • Uncanny X-Men #278-279

    • An alternate timeline
    • Corpse telepathy
    • A diabolical plan, sort of
    • Topicality
    • Theft
    • Sci-Fi Warlord Moira MacTaggert
    • Improbable aerodynamics
    • The greatest thing
    • The death of Peter Nicholas
    • The uncanny genital valley

    • X-Pokémon

    NEXT EPISODE: The Muir Island Saga concludes!

    ART CHALLENGE: Send us your horrifying X-Pokémon! (Note: We were not kidding when we said that we know absolutely nothing about Pokémon, which means that we will probably believe anything you tell us about canon. Have fun!)

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

    In which 1991 runs right into 2010, X-Factor: Endgame (and everything after it) never happened, Jay covets the hell out of Cyclops’s X-Factor: Forever jacket, Apocalypse’s alternative universe motives are actually pretty fascinating, and Miles will never call his junk Traitorous Unit.

    • X-Factor Forever #1-5

    169 – Bad Kansas Oct 23, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

    In which Justin Thyme is a forgotten superstar of comics; Nazis should pretty much never be used as a metaphor; Charles Xavier is somehow even worse than usual; Excalibur may lack object permanence; Phoenix defeats Hitler with the power of gayness; we may have hit Peak Nocenti; Brett Blevins should draw Boom Boom forever; and the New Mutants get a taste of media theory.
