The X-Wife Podcast: An Introduction to X-Men Comics: Recent Episodes

Justin and Alicia

For every X-Men fan who’s wanted to get their partner into the conversation and every friend or family member who just doesn’t want to read the comics, welcome to “The X-Wife Podcast.” Justin’s wife Alicia has never read an X-Men comic and she plans to keep it that way… for now! Join as they dive in, break down and question Jonathan Hickman’s new vision of Marvel’s merry mutants on Krakoa. House of X, Powers of X, and the Dawn of X all kick off a story that’s billed as a perfect jumping-on point for new readers, but with more than 50 years of continuity that overwrites and contradicts itself, can there ever be a seamless start?

We're taking on the third and final X-Men title in the From the Ashes' launch, Exceptional X-Men! Katherine Pryde brings us into her headspace as she wrestles with what it means to be a mutant in a post-Krakoa world. Does she even want to be an X-Man?

Part 1: Where We Start - 02:45 |

Kate's turning her back on it all! She doesn't want to fight bad guys or train the next generation of mutants, she just wants to slang dranks and run from the weight of responsibility. Good luck! Quickly people start to find her, including new mutants, old friends, and manipulative bad guys. Even her past self has some things to say! We talk about the 13 issue arc of Exceptional X-Men from a full binge perspective.

We’re joined by our friend and X-Pert, Lodro Rinzler! Lodro is a writer, podcaster and Buddhist meditation teacher.

Check out Lodro's new book "You Are Good, You Are Enough" to dive further into the themes we discuss, available wherever you get your books. Also listen to X-Men Horoscopes for delightful insights into the lives of X-fans through comics.

Magik, Psylocke and Cable are the stand outs for both of us, delving deep into these character stories with interesting relationships and stakes. Exceptional X-Men delivers one of its best issues, but misses out on the surprise while doing it. Where do you stand on the Sinister reveal?

We're getting into the nitty gritty details with the two writers of one of our favorite X books, NYX! Collin and Jackson's character focused story has been a delight as a burgeoning mutant community builds in the big city of New York. We talk about the Hivemind's writing process and get into the details of the journeys these characters have been on. Plus we get some insight on what's in store for the next few issues of NYX, including a meeting with good ol' Chuck. AND a tease of an X-citing connection to another title that the duo is working on at Marvel, Power Man: Timeless

Another doubled up week X-Men fans - so much content, we can barely keep up! Our Uncanny X-Men divide and conquer for the kids in their crew. Phoenix assemble her own team to match Thanos' might and Mystique goes to work on Nick Fury Jr.! Hellverine is the book nobody expected and we're both pretty sure Wolverine Revenge already ended. Storm gets a new outlook on life - literally! The Exceptional team talks through their problems as Laura Kinney slashes through hers. A delight of slashing in Ultimate Wolverine and slashed clothes in Savage Land Rogue. So. Much.

It's another intense stack of comics, but we're generally here for it. A lot of great content, both new and continuing. Magik is the stand out of the episode with a strong first issue that sets up a little corner of demon magic for her to play in. Uncanny X-Men brought our first official crossover to a close and a lot of fans feel underwhelmed by Raid on Graymalkin. Plus Wolverine's got a team building up in his solo that we're here for, along with a co-star credit with Deadpool on an action / adventure thrill ride. So much content to love! Not to mention the intensity of the Astonishing X-Men story, bringing the Flatscanners into the forefront of threats.

The end feels like it's closer than ever. We're one month away until last call at The Green Lagoon. As mutants take their last stand, some aren't given the ending we thought they were working for. Some get to team up with otherwise known enemies. And some continue to fight themselves into side quest shenanigans. But we've got Wolverine! In more books than you know what to do with, in more ways than you ever thought possible. Never the end...

Some much needed exposition on how we got where we are, but still a lot how and why questions on the table. Do we think the Sentinels actually trust this dude? Because nobody else does. We take things a little slower in this issue of Wolverine as the finale comes in hot. What do you think about that suit of armor? How's he even doing that? Plus the Avengers kick robot but and it's simply beautiful. We talk the Wolverine Legends story from way back when and of course everyone's favorite scroller, X-Men Unlimited!

Woah Charles... umm... you good? Feels like the Professor has gone off the rails and is trying a page from someone else's book. We don't know where he got it from, but it is NOT on brand with the rest of the X-Men! The Fall out continues as Apocalypse does some self-care work with Krakoa. Over on the Dead X-Men's journey, they stand up for the dream, for the reality, for the right to live their lives. It's interesting to see the students stand up for a dream that seems to have been lost by its dreamer. On X-Men Unlimited the X-Corps team are killing it! And they're ready to be done with this External nonsense.

We took a page out of Magneto's book and recorded our way - which basically means a smash and grab catch up to plow through 7 (!?) books. A stack of four Fall of X books - I use that term loosely, Ms Marvel - as we highlight the fight from various standpoints. Magneto has entered the chat and Orchis doesn't know how to deal. The Wolverine and Sabretooth matchup meets a breaking point on two fronts for male and female users of the names. Ms. Marvel takes things to the EXTREME with Mojo and Lila in space. And good old Tony wrestling with his demons and trusting the enemy. Plus we do a full sweep of our X-tra X-Men books with '97, Weapon and Ultimate.

A whole slew of comics coming in a few days later than we aim for. Dealing with death - or not - the X-Men story. Magneto is suffering as Storm arrives to help him through his mental anguish. Wolverine's ability to deal with death comes into question as he deals with the living much more easily (surprise he stabs them). The Dead X-Men now have a whole new Moira problem of their own creation and we get DEEP in on the logistics of their time travel impacts. Iron Man makes a bigger Iron Man and the Cables are off doing their own thing. Some fallout in X-Men Unlimited as the Externals get restless.

Another light week for the Krakoans as we gear up for the incoming Fall! Honestly though, as you'll hear us say, we were pleasantly surprised. Captain Britain hits some character high notes, but the plot still seems to move slowly, especially for a book that only has one more issue. Deadpool notches its best issue of the run in our opinion as all the elements come together and work - just silly fun. And we dive into the past with Laura and Kimura in this new version of the Facility. Plus Nature Girl still Nature Girling, now with even more power! We talk Captain Britain #4, Deadpool #7, X-23: Deadly Regenesis #3 and Infinity Comics

We're piecing the stories together with the info we have, finding books and making it through the timelines. Lethal Legion seems to have the upper hand until our mutants get the band together! Poor Escapade is on the outs with her friends though. War College adds a little more on each of our stories, but still keeps them separate to frustrating detail. Storm rocks the punk look in the first issue of a classic series that also seems to be seeding some resentment between Ororo and Charles. Plus Comic Extracts gives us what we missed in The X-Cellent! AND Nature Girl gets a stern talking to from the real X-Men. We talk New Mutants Lethal Legion #3, Bishop War College #4, Storm #1 and Infinity Comics

How Sinister of you, Marvel! They've revealed that third Essex in X-Men Red, leaving only one left before we kick off Sins of Sinister. So much happens in this issue between Storm and Vulcan, the World Farm, and Brand! Somehow Beast is out of his handcuffs and we're just acting like it didn't happen!? Just throwing him some shade as we go covert on Xeno's work. Marauders wraps up its Threshold story but we're left with more questions as we tie further into Krakoa's history. The X-Men continue their takeover of Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch gets a new volume that is a pleasant surprise, Emma's the Mommy in charge of Captain America and Norman's going through it.

It's just so much. We talk about a lot of comics lol - honestly I came back days later because I needed to put the titles. I use our episodes to keep my books organized. We talk about X-Men Red #7, Marauders #7, A.X.E.: X-Men #1 and A.X.E.: Starfox #1 from Oct 2 and then we talk A.X.E. tie-ins, Gambit #4, Immortal X-Men #7, X-Force #32, Death to the Mutants #3, A.X.E.: Eternals #1, Wolverine #25, Legion of X #6, Infinity Comics and I bet I missed one or two

Long gone are the days where our mutants stayed secluded on a fantasy island. We're knee deep in tie ins but skimming high level, because really, we're only here for our Krakoan mutants. So let's celebrate 40 years of great New Mutants stories as we send off Vita and Rod (sadness). Let's get mentally confusing in David's brain space as Legion of X closes out its first arc. Let's literally enjoy every single aspect of X-Terminators and read it multiple times. And of course, let's see what that crazy space god is doing up at the North Pole. We talk Judgment Day #5, X-Terminators #1, Legion of X #5 and New Mutants #30, along with some high level looks at JD tie ins from Avengers and Fantastic Four, an X-Men Legends throwback and those Unlimited stories

More like death to the Eternals! Druig's footing seems to be on unstable ground. We talk Death to the Mutants #1, X-Force #30 and X-Men #13

Be still my artificial heart, what a roller coaster of emotions! So much epic destruction and battle. Starting off with 92 of Swords, the barely classic crossover is re-imagined, boiling down to just one issue of sweet 90s goodness. Things are getting intense in the Legion as Nightcrawler and Zsen dive deep into their philosophies and Kurt's bed. Immortal X-Men continues our meditations of philosophy and religion in the Krakoan Era. Pope Exodus will see you now. Then, the hour of intensity that was teased, X-Men Red shows us just went down on Arakko with Uranos... woof. Also, Doug's a liar and X-Men Green are playing literally everyone.

Where have all the Krakoans gone!? Too soon...  Marvel is taking a rest week from the current era and serving up a double dose of 90's nostalgia. The SNIKTs be slicing in Patch's penultimate issue. A whole lot of double crossing and epic adamantium justice. Then we team up with Gambit and Storm in an unseen tale on the streets of Cairo... Illinois. This issue was a ton of surprising fun with great character beats. Looking forward to more! We do get a quick Krakoan scroller with X-Men Unlimited, setting up a lot of context for what's bubbling up. Look out for next issue.  We also talk Spider-Man and how it might lead into his crossover with Wolverine and Justin has indeed finished his reading assignment with Eternals, giving a high level on the ancient society.

Our judgment has begun! And it is most certainly worthy. Things are heating up as the Knights of X press further into the depths of Otherworld. Welcome to your own personal hell. Askani is the MVP of this issue, ready to save her and all of us! Onto the impending Judgment. The all out epic kicks off with layers of intensity. Druig's plan is coming into focus, but is it too late? Can the mutants preserve their new found ways of life? If you were on the fence of whether or not Judgment Day would be crucial for the mutant story, hopefully this answers your question. Then in X-Men Unlimited, a team up clean up as a new style of Marauders merged with New Mutants saves the day from the destruction of X-Men Green. X-Men Red Cross?

The X-Wife Podcast, the sequel. We're getting ready for the next leg of our journey through X Ed. Season 2 has... evolved, since its initial design.

That'll still be our outline, but we've added some stops along the way. We'll also be looking to the future with issue #1 of each of the six Dawn of X titles! Each episode is intended to serve as a potential jumping-on point for new fans - and, it all tells one larger story of X-Men awesomeness. Madness? Madness!!
