Chris and Reggie talk about old comic books and comics history every week!
From Feast to Famine... and back to Feast again!
The sophomore volume of Hickman's flagship is... uneven. It starts off amazingly strong, with one of the seminal stories of this entire era, and the …
A collection of episodes that... I can barely even remember performing!
We've got a lotta "versus" stuff this time out... Wolverine vs. Dracula, Karma vs. Dani Moonstar, and... if ya can believe it -…
A Devil's Reign tie-in, that feels more like an issue of X-Men than... most issues of X-Men! That, unfortunately, isn't an indictment on its quality, however... as our titular heroes continue their …
And now for something completely different!
An issue in which our titular hero takes a backseat to the TRUE star of this half of the series... Moira McTaggert?!
Have you been wondering what she's bee…
We have finally arrived - the Reign of X (and the Reign of the HEAD of X) are firmly in the rear-view, and we can now move forward into the next phase of our Krakoan Epic!
Today... we discuss a bat-s…
X-Lapsed 3:16 says... it's time to wrap up the Reign of X!
Today we close out the Hickman Era with an issue that feels like it might be about 15% of what the original vision intended for it to be. I…
Wrapping up volume 1 of the Marauders... with a season/series finale that establishes our status quo moving forward. It's a bit piecey, and serves as a reminder of how uneven the back-half of this s…
For the first time in two years... it's FALLEN ANGELS day here at the channel - and, if history is any indication, today's the episode even FEWER people will download and listen to!
Ah well... whatta…
Presenting, for the first time on the channel - the Head of X's New Mutants... without a sidebar trip to the Farm!
Join me for a shorter-than-usual "Triple Dip", where we cover the four-part New Muta…
Welcome back to the flagship... aka the ONLY book in the entire Marvel Universe that's attempting to pay attention to the fact that superfolk die and come back to life with insane regularity... which…
An episode emblematic of the "X-Lapsed Problem", as it pertains to over-analysis and repetition... and, if THAT doesn't entice you to listen, I don't know what would!
If you DO decide to listen, we'l…
The penultimate of Paradise Lost brushes with greatness when we almost get a very special exchange between Juggernaut and Professor X. Also, Deadpool gets squished a whole bunch.
Meanwhile, Life of …
A pair of very... *slight* stories for this Infinity Comics outing: Juggernaut and Deadpool finally make their way to Krakoa for the upcoming two-part finale... and our trek through the Life and Time…
Playing catch-up on our X-Infinity Comics by rejoining the Juggernaut and Deadpool's run-in with the Human Adaptoid... in which we don't get any Nazi jokes... but, DO get some jokes beaten into the g…
Welcome to the book that, at first blush, I thought might be the actual low-key flagship of the Dawn of X line! Which is to say, we've got something of a team here... and stuff actually happens! Al…
A world of fantasy and magic awaits... whether we want it or not.
We're about to deep-dive on a book where it's ALL Otherworld, just about ALL the time. Maybe it'll make more sense in this Triple-Di…
Maya and River's Excellent Adventure continues... as we race back 'n forth thru time to try and stop the Adversary from wiping out Echo's entire lineage! It gets kinda wonky...
Also: Forge shows up …
Tying a messy-as-hell bow on the Trial of Magneto miniseries... as scarlet shoes drop, and we end up with even fewer "rules" the X-Books need to follow going forward! We've got bunches to talk about…
In the "Season Finale" of Wolverine, our titular hero has himself an inventory story!
But... it's not one'a them Hama-esque Wolverine inventory stories... instead, it's actually paying off a relative…
Ding-Dong, this book is done!
Too bad the story's not.
Which is to say... this might just be an episode where I veer a tad bit into the negative -- and so, if that is something which threatens to off…
