    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Buy prints at Redbubble, or contact David to purchase the original!

    In which the New Mutants get a new status quo (and new costumes); we have deeply mixed feelings about Rob Liefeld; Cable is the comprehensive sex-ed to Xavier’s staunch denial and Magneto’s abstinence-only; Rictor gets a new dad by right of arms; and you should totally come party with us at Emerald City Comic Con!

    The visual companion to this episode will be up later this week!

    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Buy prints at Redbubble, or contact David to purchase the original!

    In which Elisabeth plans for her reign as Omniversal Majestrix; Hulks and moons are two great tastes that go great together; Nightcrawler takes the lead; Alastair gets a new gadget; it’s just not a cosmic event without Alan Davis; Mastermind is still the absolute worst; Excalibur fixes problems by playing dress-up; Moira MacTaggert desperately needs to hire some staff; and Jamie Braddock is legitimately terrifying.

    145 – Remy and ‘Ro Feb 06, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Buy prints at RedBubble, or contact David to purchase the original!

    In which Val Cooper remains the club queen of U.S. Intelligence; the Shadow King is a huge jerk; Storm is a badass at any age; Gambit gets off to a surprisingly good start; “flesh and spirit” is the new “body and soul”; and we are guardedly optimistic about an upcoming release.

    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Buy prints at Redbubble, or contact David to purchase the original!

    In which we get a visit from Kid Apocalypse and debut a track from his upcoming album; Jay No-Prizes Community; Rahne of Terra is pretty damn delightful; Cable is an armchair editor; we finally release the unexpurgated version of Dennis Hopeless’s version of the Noodle Incident; and you remain–to nobody’s surprise–the best listeners of any podcast, ever.

    X-PLAINED:

    • Kid Apocalypse (Quinn Allan)
    • Portland Snowpocalypse 2017
    • “Return of the King”

    NEXT EPISODE: The debut of Gambit!

    In retrospect, we should totally have made reference to the song “Beards Going Nowhere” during our discussion of surfing the timestream on glam hair. We regret the omission.

    143 – Seduction of the Innocent Jan 16, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne.

    In which the Cross-Time Caper has finally outstayed its welcome; we bid a reluctant farewell to Alan Davis; Inferno may or may not finally actually be over; Evil Doug Ramsey rocks our socks; the Shadow King is not a particularly nuanced villain; Kitty Pryde celebrates a birthday; and Courtney Ross represents an awful lot of dangling plot threads.

    142 – The Monster at the End of This Comic Jan 09, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Buy prints at Redbubble, or contact David to purchase the original!

    In which Jay and Miles make a personal announcement; moles (probably) don’t lay eggs; Angel is full of angst and flechettes; there’s always room for cello; and no matter how complicated our personal lives get, X-Factor’s will always be worse!

    141 – Reason to Go to the Devil Jan 02, 2017
    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. No print this week, but you can contact David to purchase the original!

    In which we ring in the new year with Cable’s on-page debut; it’s really the ’90s now; we enter the third major era of New Mutants; what Liefeld lacks in craft he makes up for in energy; we pitch a new “What if–” line; Rusty and Skids are terrible superheroes; X-Factor has probably given up on a lot of things; we speculate at gratuitous length on the content of Cable’s pouches; you have reason to go to the devil; and Cable makes a lot more sense when you realize he’s of, by, and for teenagers.

    X-PLAINED:

    • How the Legacy Virus got loose
    • New Mutants #86-89
    • Cable’s on-page debut
    • Rob Liefeld
    • The third major era of New Mutants
    • A shift in the balance of power
    • A comics shop to probably avoid if you time-travel back to the mid 1990s
    • The stupid adventures of Rusty & Skids
    • Yet another Acts of Vengeance tie-in
    • Nitro
    • An accidental prison break
    • Cops, or maybe protestors

    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Prints and cards available at the shop, or contact David to purchase the original.

    In which writer Dennis Hopeless returns to the show for an informal introduction to the (first) mutant messiah; Cable is the best-case retcon scenario; Summerses don’t get to retire; calculating relative character age remains functionally impossible; Cable is Marsha to Stryfe’s Jan; and there’s probably already a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta about all of this.

    • Spinning nonsense into gold
    • Cable and X-Force

    • Still more time travel

    • David Willis’s theory of Batman humor (and Jay’s derivative theory of Stryfe humor)
    • Muscle March
    • Cable’s role on teams
    • Stryfe vs. Hope
    • Cable’s theoretical legal career

    Show notes
    Art by David Wynne. Prints, cards, and coffee mugs available at the shop, or contact David to purchase the original.

    In which Spotlight on Starjammers is basically a RPG module; Jay may or may not have developed superpowers; artfully tattered clothing is a Summers family tradition; the Starjammers kill a planet; Raza may or may not be super progressive; and Professor X dies (again).

    In which we continue to follow the post-Siege Perilous X-Men; Dazzler finally makes her big-screen debut; Callisto gets a day job; Colossus gets a ponytail; still more X-Men fake their deaths; Jean Grey gets tentacles; Professor Wolverine is a jerk; and Jay overthinks Community.
