1:12:18

The final episode in the re-read of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run! This finale features a callback to two classic X-Men stories—The Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past. 150 years in the future, the X-Men led by Wolverine and Cassandra Nova Xavier are locked in a battle with the Beast over the fate of the newly resurrected Phoenix!

Planet X (New X-Men #146-150) 1:30:56

2+ y ago1:30:56

1:30:56

We now come to possibly the most controversial arc in Morrison's run, where Xorn was revealed to be Magneto in disguise the whole time. We discuss the fan reaction to these issues back in the day, Marvel's rapid and sloppy attempts to undo the revelations, our own theories for what the arc was really about, and so much more! Issues Covered: New X-M…

1:15:22

All three of us are back together to discuss the "guy's night out" story-arc. Cyclops has left the X-Men after Jean learned of his psychic affair. Wolverine beats Cyclops in a drinking contest, then drags him along on a raid on Weapon Plus and The World with Fantomex. We get an action-packed arc that plays to Chris Bachalo's artistic sensibilities …

In the prelude to the "Riot at Xavier's" story-arc, we're introduced to Quentin Quire in such a wonderful way, we almost forget this was his first appearance.
