10 - X-Men #48-53 - Arnold Drake and Polaris

Matt and Pat get bold this episode and cover SIX WHOLE ISSUES of the very short but very interesting Arnold Drake run on The X-Men. Sandwiched between two of the worst issues we’ve ever read are three of the best we’ve ever read.

We talk about:

MAGMAR IS THE UGLIEST POKEMON. X-Men Legends. Making the pencils kiss. Who is Arnold Drake? A robot hidden inside a robot. Kirby, Sonic, and a guy with fire hands. The Joe Rogan podcast for the Left. JIM STERANKO IS HERE. Arnold Drake falls asleep while writing. LORNA DANE IS HERE. Just preparing bodies for a funeral in my apartment. “There are beings in there that feast on the human soul itself!” MESMERO IS HERE. A legitimately epic argument. Cyclops’ Rat List. “A warm hunk of girl.” A Kevin-McAllister-ass plan gone wrong. Scott designs himself a cute costume. Barry Windsor-Smith’s disappointing debut. Iceman doesn’t think women should vote. Blastaar sucks. Issue 53 sucks. History Stan’s Soapbox moments!
