X Is For Comics: An X-Men Podcast

Nico & TK move onto the BIGGEST ARC of X-Treme X-Men, and nothing will ever be the same! The conversation begins with a mutual realization of respect for Claremont and his efforts to be part of the X-Universe after his return. From there, the team discusses Slipstream, Lifeguard, Khan, Shaitan, and so much more in one of the more interdimensional and enormous arcs Claremont has ever written. From the developments for Storm to the passions of Rogue, this is one not to be missed! Read along with X-Treme X-Men #10 - 15, plus nods to X-Treme X-Men #16 - 19, X-Treme X-Men X-Pose #1 - 2, X-Men Unlimited #36 & 38, and Mekanix #1 - 6 – it’s all this and more on an all-new X Is For Comics!

Nico’s here to fill in the blanks! After a bit of housecleaning – and some exciting announcements like the regular return of Kevo (who did our X-Men ‘97 coverage) and series co-creator Jonah – it’s time to talk solo stories! Nico hits a ton of X-Men Unlimited stories featuring Sunfire (X-Men Unlimited 34); Jean Vs Sabretooth, Rogue & Logan in a barfight, & a meta X-Men movie (Unlimited 35); Magneto defeating human traffickers & Beast falling in love with a cat (Unlimited 36); and a multiverse of X-Men vs Illyana (Unlimited 37). Then join for the Chicago mutant cell The Morlocks, the noir police drama of X-Factor (vol 2), and the world-wide one shots of Muties! Read along with X-Men Unlimited #134 - 137, Morlocks #1 - 4, Muties (vol 1) #1 - 6, and X-Factor (vol 2) #1 - 4 – it’s all this and more on an all-new X Is For Comics!

Nico & Kevo are back to talk about the biggest movie of the year – SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY! In a film loaded with reflections and references to the previous installments, one thing stands out the most – the introduction of Jean Grey! The guys break down what they loved about the movie (pretty much everything) and what they didn’t love (Jean Grey gets a little…rough) and provide an OLD SCHOOL HTML review and reaction! Watch along with Spider-Man: Brand New Day – don’t miss it all on a new HTML / X Is For Show!

Nico & Kevo are here to finish out the X-Men ‘97 Season Two journey! They talk Rogue, Gambit, Xavier, X-Force, X-Factor, Jean, Scott, Logan, that last second reveal, the original plans for the season, and of course Nightcrawler! And yet, there’s STILL MORE TO TALK ABOUT – where is Onslaught? Where is Kitty Pryde? THEN – it’s time to talk about THE MCU & THE MUTANTS! D23 Announcements gave us casting for Xavier, Storm, Rogue, Cyclops, Mister Sinister, Emma Frost, & confirmed more for Jean Grey – and the guys have a lot to talk about! Watch along with X-Men ‘97 Season Two Episode 9 & the D23 MCU Mutants Panel – it’s all this and more on an all-new X Is For Comics!

Nico & TK are here to talk about the end of an era and how it shapes out the rest of the line! From the energy around the final issues of the run to the stories themselves, the two dissect the way Casey changes everything. From here, the duo discuss Casey’s X-Men special, Life Lesson, a Starbright Foundation special for burn victims, and how it represents the best of self-insert magical storytelling. Then, look at Nightcrawler’s second miniseries (vs human traffickers) and a return to Generation X with two X-Men Unlimited stories – featuring Jubilee/Angelo & Emma Frost/Adrienne Frost – before diving into Chamber’s first miniseries! Read along with Uncanny X-Men #407 - 409 & Life Lessons, Nightcrawler (vol 2) #1 - 4, X-Men Unlimited #34, & Chamber #1 - 4 – it’s all this and more on an all-new X Is For Comics!
