Destiny of X continues and we are here for it. Here for Storm owning the room. Here for Illyana growing up. Here for random callbacks to Daredevil: Born Again.

Covering X-Men Red vol 2 #4, Wolverine vol 7 #23, X-Force vol 6 #29, New Mutants vol 4 #27-28, Marauders vol 2 #4, X-Men vol 6 #12, X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2022, Immortal X-Men #4, Knights of X #4, and Legion of X #3.

Episode 104: Giant-Sized Destiny of X Podcast #2

Are we hyped? WE'RE SO HYPED! Covering Giant Size X-Men: Thunderbird, X-Men vol 6 #11, X-Force vol 6 #28, Marauders vol 2 #3, Knights of X #2-3, Wolverine vol 7 #21-22, Immortal X-Men #3, Legion of X #2, New Mutants vol 4 #26, and X-Men Red vol 2 #3

Episode 103: Giant-Sized Destiny of X Podcast #1

Holy freaking cow! Krakoa enters its third age with the revival of the long-dead future seer, Destiny, beginning the aptly named Destiny of X.

We wanted to cover Destiny of X the same way we'd read previous Krakoa-era stories, with collected editions collating all the different books. Buuuut those haven't been printed, or even solicited... in English. So we took the issue list from the French versions, because why not. So, this episode covers X-Force Annual (2022), X-Men vol 6 #9-10, Immortal X-Men #1-2, X-Men Red vol 2 #1-2, Knights of X #1, X-Force vol 6 #27, Wolverine vol 7 #20, Marauders vol 2 #1-2, Legion of X #1, and New Mutants vol 4 #25.

Episode 102: And then Marvel stopped publishing comics forever

We're back, again! Will reads Marvel Knights: Make the World Go Away, Daredevil & Elektra by Chip Zdarsky vol 1: The Red Fist Saga Part One, and Avengers Forever vol 2: The Pillars. Steve goes after the awkwardly named non-event "Counter-X: Shockwave" (Generation X vol 1 #67-70, X-Man #67-70, and X-Force vol 1 #106-109

Episode 101: Giant-Sized X Lives/X Deaths of Wolverine Podcast

X Lives of Wolverine/X Deaths of Wolverine, the crowning event that transitions Krakoa from the Trials era to the Destiny era is... kind of a stinker? Whatever, let's hang out and talk comics!

Episode 100! Giant-Sized Trials of X Podcast #6

Holy crap, we've done a hundred of these! And we celebrate with the end of Trials of X, vols 11 and 12, highlighted by a phenomenal new Sabretooth series!

Episode 99: Giant-Sized Trials of X Podcast #5

We're back, with more Krakoa! Abigail Brand's machinations are starting to unfold in S.W.O.R.D., and an all-time great X-Book comes to a close with the finale of Zeb Wells's Hellions.

Episode 98: Giant-Sized Trials of X Podcast #4

Superhero comics subject their characters to a lot of punishment and trauma as a proxy for character growth, but rarely are they allowed to heal as gracefully as in the Shadow King arc on New Mutants by Vita Ayala and Rod Reis — which makes up the centerpiece of our podcast covering Trials of X vols 7 and 8. Also, Wolverine goes surfing!

Episode 97: The Return of Neith

I thought we were done with Gnomon over a year ago. So why did Neith show up in this week's comics? Did she... waterfall into the Marvel multiverse?

This week Will had a rollercoaster reading Edge of Spider-Verse, most of Avengers by Jason Aaron vol 11: History's Mightiest Heroes, a tiny bit of Amazing Spider-Man by Zeb Wells vol 3, Iron-Man vol 4: Source Control, and Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty vol 1: Intruder. Steve had a slightly different result from reading X-Men Unlimited vol 1 #28, Bishop: The Last X-Man #9-14, Magneto: Dark Seduction, X-Men: The Search for Cyclops, and X-Men: The Hidden Years #8-13.

Episode 96: Giant-Sized Inferno Podcast!!!

Jonathan Hickman says his farewell to the Krakoa X-Men and it's, well... fire.

Surely we kept our cool about this, right? Like we didn't hype ourselves too hard and end up having to do an entire episode about one miniseries... right???
