Episode Description[]

In which Laura easily is worth a dozen Old Mans Logan; Charlotte Jones is the EveryCop; Genosha remains a fairly versatile allegory; Hydra are totally Nazis; Jubilee gets the best sound effects; Rogue has a bad day; and it’ll take more than a sun to stop Lila Cheney.

Listener Questions[]

  • I just read and loved Si Spurrier's X-Club miniseries, but I'm confused by the different relationship that mutants have with Terrigen compared to present comics. Though the Terrigen there will evidently kill Nemisis when he's exposed to it, it does actually imbue him with extraordinary abilities. Moreover, Rao successively synthesizes a cure to save Nemesis. Did I miss something that took Rao's cure off the table in current comics?
  • If Captain Britain had an ongoing series, would you consider it an X-book? What about Longshot? I'm not asking about your coverage, just the metaphysics.
