Escape the Mojoverse: An X-Men Comics Podcast
We take in the X-Men as it's meant to be enjoyed, with clockwork orange style devices to pry open our eyes. Married couple, Allison and Matt Parent do deep dives into the good, the bad, the squishy and weird X-Men stories. Allison is a newbie to comics and Matt is going to talk about it endlessly to them whether they record it or not.
