Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men

478 – The Monologue Tube

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.

  • Uncanny X-Men #379-380
  • X-Force #101
  • X-Men #99

474 – Giant-Size Special #13 (feat. Anthony Oliveira)

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.

471 – Eyebrows and Powers (The Twelve: Part One)

Survival of the Toothiest (Cable #75)

  2. If you want to share a link, talk about why you’re sharing it and what you think – this post should be about what you have to say, not just links!
  3. Spoilers are okay, but please mark anything from the last three months like:
    ***SPOILER***
    This was the darkest timeline all along!
