Show Notes Provided by Arco Esposito One of the words that has entered our lexicon in the last decade is “generational”, which denotes something that happens rarely per generation. In the world of comics we can all name favorite stories that have touched us in the best of ways, but how many of them can be said to have actually changed the industry itself? Action Comics #1, Detective Comics #27, Fantastic Four #1… the standard bearers of stories that have shaped our beloved medium. However, can we ever doubt that Giant Size X-Men #1 also belongs on that list? How can it not? All one has to know is that Marvel STOPPED printing original X-Men stories from Issue 67-93, giving us only reprints of earlier stories. With the release of 1975's Giant Size X-Men, the world was introduced to the new team, a cast of colorful characters we had never seen before (or in Wolverines case, only once before) and with them came the adventures made us fall in love with them. Join James, Joe and myself, Arco, your humble bastion of mutant knowledge as we pay homage to the beginning of what current and future comic lovers will no doubt look back on as the day the X-Men truly arrived.

Mutatnt and proud! Join us as we join the X-Men again this week and dive into a staple member of Giant Sized X-Men, Colossus, exploring his origin, heritage, mutation, and that one encounter with the techno organic virus ... We teach you about his romantic relationship with Kitty Pryde, his elder brother bond with Magik, and tell you about the differences his character undergoes in the Ultimate Universe. Whether you're a deep cut X-Men fan or excited to see Colossus return to the big screen in Deadpool and Wolverine, this episode is the perfect way to learn how exactly to pronounce "Piotr".For exclusive bonus podcasts like our Justice League Review show, GHL Extra & Livestreams with the hosts, join the Geek History Lesson Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/JawiinGHL RECOMMENDED READING from this episode► https://www.geekhistorylesson.com/recommendedreadingFOLLOW GHL►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geekhistorylessonTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@geekhistorylessonTwitter: https://twitter.com/GHLPodcastFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/geekhistorylessonGet Your GHL Pin: https://etsy.me/3QEVtBl You can follow Ashley at https://twitter.com/Ashleyvrobinson or https://www.ashleyvictoriarobinson.com/Follow Jason at https://twitter.com/Jawiin or https://www.jasoninman.com/

It's Fall in Krakoa, and double entendres abound. See, because it means Autumn, and it also means descent. Okay, but do you get it, though? Covering X-Men vol 6 #22-24, Before the Fall: Mutant First Strike #1, Before the Fall: Four Sinisters #1, and Immortal X-Men #12-13.

Krakoa is about to fall, and the story starts out with the return of Apocalypse, who's a good guy now, and his horsemen. I mean kids. And his wife, who's not wearing a hat anymore, but she's carrying a staff, which is almost as bad. Listen, it's great — just listen, alright? Covering Immortal X-Men #11, Before the Fall: Sons of X #1, X-Men Red vol 2 #11-13, Before the Fall: The Heralds of Apocalypse #1, Wolverine vol 7 #33-35, and X-Force vol 6 #40-42

How much detail goes into detailing a facial expression, or body language in your script?There’s a good mix of wholesome summertime Americana against a seedy, gross underbelly in Basketful, how did you go about crafting the tone and do other books in the Hill House line explore similar balances?Reading the first issue I felt like there are details everywhere to pick on. It feels dense, like the American flag covering the heads in on the opening page and in the sampler, or information that is weaved into dialogue, is there an art to placing details to be picked up on later?How important are your surroundings when you write? Can you tell us about the music, movies, or other books that inspired the tone or visuals of Basketful and the line in general?I don’t want to spoil anything, but could one expect Hill House Comics to continue the shared universe theme we saw in NOS4A2?Do you think about which of your books will last in the public consciousness? Word association (word that comes to mind when I read the title):THE DOLLHOUSE FAMILY from Mike Carey (LUCIFER, HELLBLAZER, The Girl with All the Gifts) and Peter Gross (LUCIFER, THE BOOKS OF MAGIC, THE UNWRITTEN)THE LOW, LOW WOODS by Carmen Maria Machado (Her Body and Other Parties) and Dani (2000 AD, Coffin Bound, Deep Roots)DAPHNE BYRNE by Laura Marks (TV writer and producer, playwright of Bethany) and Kelley Jones (SWAMP THING, DEADMAN, THE SANDMAN)PLUNGE by Hill and Stuart ImmonenBasketful of Heads and Leomacs

The Kinky Tauntaun 11: How to Fix the X-Men Film Franchise I. Bryan Singer is DONE! DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! Contracts have expired! Now what? a. Buchacha’s Five Fixes i. Plan for a shared universe. This includes interlocking arcs with Deadpool, New Mutants, X-Force, X-Factor and various incarnations of the X-Men teams through the years. Plan an FX or FXX show detailing the early years of the X-Men with Xavier, Beast, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, and Angel. This would allow more thorough dissection of the main group and less haphazard treatment of Magneto and Xavier. Plus, the sibling dynamic of both Charles and Juggernaut and Scott/Alex. Show is meant to be five seasons, culminating with the rise of the Phoenix entity. Future solo movies: more Deadpool and Wolverine (Havok/Wolverine: Meltdown!), of course, Gambit & Rogue, Storm (Lifedeath) Future shows: Excalibur (with Nightcrawler and Kitty Pryde…plus the others) Dazzler & Longshot ii. NO ORIGIN STORIES. NONE. Story takes place in modern day. Most X-Men should be early/mid 20’s, with maybe one younger, one older. iii. Adapt existing storyline closely, a la Batman: Year One became Batman Begins. My vote is for something terrestrial at first (space/Mojoverse later), something like iv. Be true to the characters = look at Deadpool; Be true to the villain(s) v. WRITING! WRITING! WRITING! Find a screenwriter who actually, truly gives a shit about crafting a worthwhile, poignant story that give the MCU a run for its money. Also—bring in Chris Claremont as executive producer and consultant. vi. BONUS: WEART THE FUCKING COSTUMES (or some close approximation) vii. DOUBLE BONUS: Quit trying to make every fucking X-Men movie a Wolverine movie. b. Jeff’s Five Fixes I. Break Buchacha’s rule about only a 7 member team. If you look at the history of the different X-Men lineups the magic number seems to be about 11 members. This can also allow the X-Men to be divided into Blue and Gold teams when necessary, because Blue and Gold is big and bold. II. Fox needs to sell to Disney or at least needs to get along for crossovers like Sony did with Spiderman in Captain America Civil War. III. If you’re not going to put in the work setting up the Dark Phoenix backstory than don’t bother trying. IV. Adapt storylines from the comics as faithfully as possible. V. Get as many former X-Men comic writers to review the screen play and then listen to their advice. VI. Bonus: Stick to the personalities and backstories establish in the comics; if a character needs their own origin movie to not seem 1 dimensional, do it. VII. Double Bonus: If a character seems 1 dimensional but doesn’t call for their own origin movie then introduce their backstory with Xavier in a telepathic psychiatry session. Or two introduce some humor have Deadpool break the 4th wall and walk in from off screen and narrate a flashback. II. The Team a. Rules: i. Seven Members limit, relying on precedent set by Giant-Sized X-Men #1 (with Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Thunderbird, Colossus, and Sunfire) ii. No Sausage Fest—must have ratios of 4-3 or 3-4 iii. No Deadpool; No characters likely to show up in a New Mutants or X-Force movie
