For every X-Men fan who’s wanted to get their partner into the conversation and every friend or family member who just doesn’t want to read the comics, welcome to “The X-Wife Podcast.” Justin’s wife Alicia has never read an X-Men comic and she plans to keep it that way… for now! Join as they dive in, break down and question Jonathan Hickman’s new vision of Marvel’s merry mutants on Krakoa. House of X, Powers of X, and the Dawn of X all kick off a story that’s billed as a perfect jumping-on point for new readers, but with more than 50 years of continuity that overwrites and contradicts itself, can there ever be a seamless start?

    Ivy Insights

    The X-Wife Podcast: An Introduction to X-Men Comics is a delightful and engaging podcast for both new and long-time fans of the X-Men. Hosted by Justin and Alicia, this podcast offers a unique perspective as Justin tries to get his wife, Alicia, to read and discuss X-Men comic books. As someone who discovered the X-Men through the animated series, I resonated with their story and felt like a part of their conversation.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the dynamic between Justin and Alicia. They have great chemistry on air, and their genuine love for each other shines through in every episode. Their banter is entertaining, and it's clear that they enjoy discussing the comics together. Additionally, both Justin and Alicia have wonderful voices to listen to, which adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the podcast.

    Another highlight of The X-Wife Podcast is Justin's extensive knowledge of X-Men lore. His passion for the subject matter is infectious, and he provides insightful analysis and commentary while discussing the comics. It's fascinating to hear him explain nuanced details that even long-time fans might have missed. Meanwhile, Alicia's reactions are often hilarious as she grapples with understanding the complex world of the X-Men.

    While there aren't many negatives about this podcast, one aspect that some listeners might find challenging is if they haven't read or are not familiar with X-Men comic books. Although Justin does his best to explain key plot points and characters, there may be moments where listeners feel slightly lost or left out if they are not already well-versed in X-Men lore.

    In conclusion, The X-Wife Podcast: An Introduction to X-Men Comics is an exceptional podcast that stands out within its genre. It offers a fresh perspective on exploring comic books through the lens of a dedicated fan trying to share their passion with their partner. With engaging hosts, entertaining banter, and insightful analysis, this podcast is a must-listen for any X-Men fan, whether they are new to the comics or have been following the series for years.

    We took a page out of Magneto's book and recorded our way - which basically means a smash and grab catch up to plow through 7 (!?) books. A stack of four Fall of X books - I use that term loosely, Ms Marvel - as we highlight the fight from various standpoints. Magneto has entered the chat and Orchis doesn't know how to deal. The Wolverine and Sabretooth matchup meets a breaking point on two fronts for male and female users of the names. Ms. Marvel takes things to the EXTREME with Mojo and Lila in space. And good old Tony wrestling with his demons and trusting the enemy. Plus we do a full sweep of our X-tra X-Men books with '97, Weapon and Ultimate.

    A whole slew of comics coming in a few days later than we aim for. Dealing with death - or not - the X-Men story. Magneto is suffering as Storm arrives to help him through his mental anguish. Wolverine's ability to deal with death comes into question as he deals with the living much more easily (surprise he stabs them). The Dead X-Men now have a whole new Moira problem of their own creation and we get DEEP in on the logistics of their time travel impacts. Iron Man makes a bigger Iron Man and the Cables are off doing their own thing. Some fallout in X-Men Unlimited as the Externals get restless.
