57:03

In which Alan Davis is Team Cyclops; everyone gets depowered; it’s hard to connect with kids your age when you’re a superhero; Sinister’s gotta sinister; everyone gets repowered; and the ‘90s were much more eclectic than they get credit for being.

In which we remain adamant pro-POG advocates; Artie and Leech have adventures; Firestar and Emma Frost get some resolution; Santa Claus may or may not be the avatar of Cyttorak; Black Tom Cassidy exceeds expectations; and Monet has vampire problems.

Meet Dani, Dani, Dani, and Dani. ( X-Force #99) In which we wrap up John Francis Moore’s run on X-Force ; the Demon Bear returns (kinda); four Moonstars are not in fact better than one; the Queen of Star Swords is an extremely rad villain; and X-Force takes a very contained multiversal tour.

474 – Giant-Size Special #13 (feat. Anthony Oliveira) 2:10:45

7 weeks ago2:10:45

2:10:45

Classic (x2). ( Warlock #2) In which the Warlock ongoing series is fun, and fun is good; people should maybe leave Doug Ramsey’s grave alone; Tony Stark is probably not in touch with the Indigo Girls; the heroes skate awfully close to the “no killing” line; Bastion gets exhumed, rehumed, and re-exhumed; you should really read the Avengers Academy Infinity Comic; and you remain the best listeners of any podcast, ever. X-PLAINED: X-related characters of Avengers Academy Warlock vol. 5, #1-9 Warlock (more) (again) M-Tech Jay’s Bluey Test for all-ages media The visual semiotics of Warlock Project Mainspring Hope (Esperanza Ling) Chi-Chee Psi-cops Gatekeepers Technarchs The transmode virus A fancy hat Many guest stars The Phalanx (more) (again) Psiren Psimon The techno-mechanic virus Complicated feelings Psycho Man (more) (again) Astro-computers Hope’s actual powers Template Magus (more) (again) Avengers Academy Marvel Voices Infinity Comic Why there are so many Canadian comic-book writers Superhero comics vs. religious texts Defining heroism Escapade Captain America of the Railways Bloodline Red Goblin Moon Girl Kid Juggernaut Blackheart Ongoing storytelling Emplate as a queer character Marcus Wetherell What else to read if you love Avengers Academy Marvel Voices Infinity Comic The 11 th Annual Super Doctor Astronaut Peter Corbeau Awards for Excellence at X-Cellence Many people to whom we are profoundly grateful NEXT EPISODE: The return of the Demon Bear!

10 weeks ago55:33

55:33

In which you know it’s serious business when a logo gets smashed; the prophecy of the Twelve is an elaborate prank; we have a lot of Summers family feelings; Apocalypse is not a very good planner; and the Twelve reaches its conclusion. X-PLAINED: Who Madelyne Pryor’s psychic ghost really is The story so far Uncanny X-Men #377 Cable #76 X-Men #97 Perks of immortality A slightly gratuitous way to destroy an airplane Several doppelgangers Apocalypse’s big, stupid plan A fancy science machine The Atomium The Twelve The three elements The best issue of the Twelve Orb action Cable’s knowledge of history Summers feelings How to establish stakes Potato storms The mutant Skrulls (more) (again) Cadre K Categories of mutants How to beta test an Armageddon machine Alpha nerd Charles Xavier Weaponized continuity The color(s) of Cyclops’s eyes How to evoke Uncanny X-Men #137 An unfortunate twist Mundane uses of superpowers The Altar What would have improved the Twelve NEXT EPISODE: Winter Special!

472 – Leave Room for Magneto (The Twelve, Part Two) 1:01:45

11 weeks ago1:01:45

1:01:45

In which the Twelve should really be twelve chapters long; Archangel has issues; we continue to bemoan the absence of captions; the X-Men ditch their crossover event for a side quest; Magneto is Genosha’s official chaperone; and we would absolutely elect Emma Frost to a school board. X-PLAINED: What Cable does next The event so far Wolverine #146-147 Uncanny X-Men Annual 1999 Whether the Shadow King is moist Why tiny cavemen can’t have nice things Numerous flashbacks and allusions Archangel’s third-stage evolution The Philharmonic Gets Dressed Abraham Kieros (again) Apocalypse as a self-help guru Fully nude Wolverine X-51 #8 (briefly) Fabian Cortez (more) (again) A miracle of magnetism Scomp linking A big fancy machine Exodus (more) (again) Mutants we’d like to see in public office The (theoretical) Essex administration NEXT EPISODE: The Twelve concludes!

12 weeks ago56:49

56:49

Survival of the Toothiest ( Cable #75) In which we begin our coverage of The Twelve; Scott and Jean get sucked back in AGAIN; Apocalypse probably doesn’t tip; and we have become awfully fond of Cable. X-PLAINED: A codename that deviates from common patterns The story so far Uncanny X-Men #376 Cable #75 X-Men #96 Fiz the Skrull (again) The Twelve Foreshadowing, both accurate and otherwise The Living Monolith (more) (again) That one font Time-travel logic Cable vs. eyes Fabian Cortez (more) (again) A trap Why the Twelve are the Twelve The evolution of Cable NEXT EPISODE: The Twelve continues!

14 weeks ago1:00:52

1:00:52

In which Cable may or may not have been a spokesperson for AT&T; it’s impossible to draw a CD dramatically; Wolverine gets his adamantium back; Apocalypse says the thing; and we probably can’t keep putting off The Twelve forever. X-PLAINED: One way to dispose of a corpse Cable #73-74 Wolverine #145 Cable (more) (again) Poor font choice Sarcophagus nipples Caliban (more) (again) Impromptu tailoring A cliched vignette People talking on couches A compact disc Unpleasant reunions An impressive outfit Prior generations of horsemen of Apocalypse Wolverine (more) (again) How Wolverine ended up a horseman of Apocalypse Apocalypse’s aesthetic Wolverine vs. Hulk (yet again) Which version of Magik was on Krakoa An X-Men pitch in the style of Spidey and his Amazing Friends NEXT EPISODE: The Twelve begins!

469 – Killed by Death 46:38

15 weeks ago46:38

46:38

In which the Shattering officially concludes; you can’t swoop over the phone; toddlers are engines of pure chaos; the X-Men do some processing; and we are mildly scandalized by the absence of footnotes.

468 – Sasquatch Road Trip 46:19

16 weeks ago46:19

46:19

In which St. Croix History reminds us of a Martian with a big butt; Penance’s escape is ambiguous; Avengers Academy Infinity Comic successfully reinvents Emplate; you should not learn to flirt from Vanilla Ice; Jubilee fires two fireworks blasts into the air whilst going aaahhh; and we go in through the ears. X-PLAINED: Apocalypse’s influence The Big House (about which we are confused) Generation X #58 Cartier and/or Louis St. Croix Our college’s Dean, naked jogger Things that are sharp in the woods HUMP Penance (Hollow) Emplate, spoiled teenager Generation X Annual 1999 Epistolary fonts Jubilee’s pre-X past Round Wolverine Hunter Brawn (again, sigh) Recognizing random dudes from pictures Dad Things and Dad Pipes Juggernaut and Black Tom as a relationship model Jubilee, competent veteran A murder mystery Legault, cosplaying bodyguard Taking notes on comics Magneto’s telepathy-blocking (or not) helmet NEXT EPISODE: Wolverine's dead!

In which Nightcrawler has a type; the Hill is a bad place to raise your kids up; Colossus introduces Marrow to art; we come out against autotrepanation; Mikhail Rasputin never learns; Destiny leaves clues from beyond the grave; and The Twelve looms.
