X Is For Comics: An X-Men Podcast

Nico & TK tackle one of the most complicated, well-known, and controversial backstories ever – Wolverine! The two focus on the current-to-our-coverage Origin as well as the industry defining Weapon X by Barry Windsor-Smith from the pages of 1991’s Marvel Comics Presents. The two examine these Wolverine origin stories, neither published in Wolverine’s titles, both seeking to provide answers we either thought we understood or never questioned. From the horror elements of BWS’s epic to the Victorian-Secret-Gardeneque references in Origin, the discussion takes Nico & TK on a wild ride that needed an EXTRA sized episode!
