    470 – Large Adult Men Dec 02, 2024
    Show notes

    In which Cable may or may not have been a spokesperson for AT&T; it’s impossible to draw a CD dramatically; Wolverine gets his adamantium back; Apocalypse says the thing; and we probably can’t keep putting off The Twelve forever.

    469 – Killed by Death Nov 25, 2024
    Show notes

    In which the Shattering officially concludes; you can’t swoop over the phone; toddlers are engines of pure chaos; the X-Men do some processing; and we are mildly scandalized by the absence of footnotes.

    In which St. Croix History reminds us of a Martian with a big butt; Penance’s escape is ambiguous; Avengers Academy Infinity Comic successfully reinvents Emplate; you should not learn to flirt from Vanilla Ice; Jubilee fires two fireworks blasts into the air whilst going aaahhh; and we go in through the ears.

    465 – Right in the Fabric Oct 20, 2024

    In which “Astonishing X-Men” is something of a misnomer; Death has a good look; sometimes you just need a guy who swoops; Miles stops worrying and learns to love Nate Grey; Telekinesis is silly looking; “Wolverine” dies; and nothing really changes.

    464 – The Cigarettes of Damocles Sep 30, 2024
    Show notes

    In which X-Force is kind of silly; that really isn’t what “quantum” means; polite and lawful are two entirely different things, and Sam Guthrie is only one of them; Selene vogues; and the Hellfire Club plays the dead girlfriend card.

    463 – The Fart Ghost That Walks Like a Manhattan Sep 23, 2024
    Show notes

    In which Gambit is fundamentally goofy; t’ieves love research; Magneto was ripped; Professor Xavier remains a jerk; Miles attempts to convey something very fundamentally visual in an audio format; Marrow is adorable; the X-Men pretty much disband (again); and a miniseries is the opposite of a vacation.

    • Uncanny X-Men #372
    • X-Men #92
    • A lot of backstory
    • A very cute plastic goose
    • What Gambit does in his free time
    • Those weird fluid-filled tubes they put people in all the time for some reason
    • Gambit’s abs
    • The fart ghost (Mary Purcell)
    • Manhattan, Indiana
    • A very minor continuity error
    • Fart ghost metaphysics
    • A very bad idea
    • A muppetworthy death
    • Dream’s various ends
    • X-pajamas
    • Professional dinosaurs
    • Thinkers
    • Theoretical Cyclops-Daredevil team-ups
    • X-characters recognizable as civilians
