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!

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
Tuesday Jul 18, 2023
Tuesday Jul 18, 2023
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.

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???

Krakoa is blowing our minds left and right! Witness the birth of the new mutant religion in X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation, and the rest of Trials of X vols 5 and 6.
We meant to include Inferno in this episode too, but we got a little too hype. As we are wont to do, I suppose. So that'll have to wait for next episode.

Science lab, dangerous tech, whatever. First thing you do? Install a button that destroys the whole thing. Mandatory.

Krakoa keeps delivering with Trials of X vols 3 and 4. Storm is one of the best characters in the entire Marvel universe and "one of" might not be necessary in that sentence.
