The Post-Krakoa Era of X-Men is in full swing; time for a crossover that fragments and divides Mutantkind because god knows the ‘Lost Decade' didn't do that for ten years before House of X. (From Marvel's PRESS RELEASE) New 'Raid on Graymalkin' Crossover Pits X-Man Against X-Man for the Future of Professor X's Dream 'Raid on Graymalkin,' a 4-part crossover between Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman's 'X-Men' and Gail Simone and David Marquez's 'Uncanny X-Men,' begins this December. The X-Men's new era is fully underway, and starting this December, fans will experience an epic crossover between two of its three flagship titles in "Raid on Graymalkin!" Left broken and scattered in the wake of Krakoa, the X-Men have since regrouped into distinct teams of their own. In Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman's X-MEN, Cyclops leads a squad of hardened mutant soldiers out of an abandoned Sentinel factory in Alaska. While in Gail Simone and David Marquez's UNCANNY X-MEN, Rogue attempts to build a new home with her chosen X-family along with a handful of new students down in Louisiana. Their different approaches to the X-Men's mission erupt into a tense standoff when a plan of action is needed to take down Graymalkin Prison, formerly Xavier's Institute. The X-Men's school has been transformed into a brutal penitentiary for mutants by the callous Dr. Corina Ellis, and her prize inmate is none other than Professor X himself! But after his actions during Krakoa's fall, is Professor X worth saving? And who or what is the secret weapon that Ellis is confident will protect Graymalkin against any attack? Find out in this four-part mutant milestone that solidifies the X-Men's post-Krakoan world! "It's been an exciting time being part of the launch of the line of X-titles, but now we're really getting into it- our first crossover!” MacKay shared. “Raid on Graymalkin is going to push the X-Men of both Alaska and Louisiana to their breaking points and set the tone for the future, and it's been great to work with a legend like Gail in bringing it to life!" "Writing in the X-World has been one of the most fun and rewarding experiences of my career," Simone said. “Best characters, best art team, best editors and best fellow creators, particularly Jed Mackay, who is just an idea machine. We've been throwing ideas back and forth nearly every day since we all started putting together the bones of what the X-Verse would be like, and I think it helps tremendously that we like and respect each other's work.” “I hope that this is a precursor to more short crossovers,” Simone added. “We love the idea of doing something impactful, where it feels punchy and fast-paced, with some genuine, lasting effects. You can still just read X-MEN or UNCANNY X-MEN and follow the story, but you'll get a bigger, richer picture if you get both. As always, we have the welcome mat out for newbies and long-time readers alike!” Sources: https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/x-men-uncanny-x-men-new-raid-on-graymalkin-crossover

Hi, everybody. George is joined by Mike Atchison, the host of Mike's Comic Shop Roadshow and cohost of Campus Comics Cast. Mike tells us about his day job and how it provides the opportunity to travel to the comic shops from around the world that he features on his Roadshow podcast. Plus, we talk about some of the touristy things he does. In addition to showcasing comic shops on his show, Mike asks the shop owners to recommend a book for him to purchase and review with guests in the second part of each episode. Of course George had to turn the tables and ask Mike to recommend a book for the second part of this episode and that book is the recent post-Krakoan age X-Men #1 (that part of the conversation begins at 1:09:54). As fate would have it, Mike had recorded an episode with our friend Eric of Longbox Review not long before he spoke to George. We minimized redundant topics as best we could and coordinated the release of our episodes. You can listen to them in any order to really get to know Mike and become acquainted with his shows. https://longboxreview.com/2024/08/23/a-conversation-with-mike-from-mikes-comic-shop-roadshow/ Follow Mike on X (AKA The Site Formerly Known As Twitter) @MikeAtchison5 and on Bluesky Social @roadshowmike.

X has Fallen. The Fall of X is over. The first Krakoan era is over. So now we can finally talk about what happened. It all started one year ago when Orchis attacked the third annual Hellfire Gala. How did they do it? What convoluted plans enabled them to kill every mutant? Will there be long term relevant consequences?

The long walk back to the status quo reaches its (mostly) satisfying conclusion.

Did your Krakoan journey end before its time or right as it was mean to. Come listened as we close the era in the comics here, and there. 

On this special episode James & Hunter are joined by returning guest Justin Allen to talk about the second half of Marvel & X-Men's Krakoan age of comics, this covers the rest of the Krakoan era leading into the supersized finale!

Krakoa is over and we are wrapping up our feels on the good, the bad, and the unrealized potential!

The boys have a mini Hickapedia about G.O.D.S. and they mostly understand it; Clarke's Got Sumpin' and it spells the end of their Homo Superior X-Team; there's news about Polaris, they speculate over who is the Krakoan, and Clarke has a fashion deep dive on Ultimates Psylocke; there are the issues: X-Men: From the Ashes Infinity #2, Invincible Iron Man #19, Dr. Strange #16, Ultimate Spider-Man #6, and the bloodhunt: Wolverine: Blood Hunt #2 and Dr Strange #16; and plugs. Clarke adds unnecessary letters to words.

Episode Notes Outgoing X-Line editor and one of the friendliest friends of the pod Jordan D White talks about the First Krakoan Era and also a bunch of stuff that we wanted to talk about that is going to make the segment who wants us to ask any questions about "continuity" or "original plans" or "dropped plot points" or things that aren't extended Weezer bits very mad. Anyway it's a good episode and also our #350, which is almost enough that you could listen to one a day for a whole year if you hated yourself. Check out the Battle of the Atom Master Ranking List!

The X-Men are good at fighting and winning and fashion and reboots – but also sex. The X-Men are real real good at sexy sexy times. And when it comes – ugh, came – to the Krakoan era, the X-Men celebrated the idea of romance, sex, and beginning new relationships like never before. The liaisons ranged from the boring and predictable (Scott & Jean) to the exciting (Scott & Jean…& Logan?) to the cringe-worthiest (Logan & that f&%$!ng surfer girl…debacle), but also TONS of people who aren't these three people. There's tons of love, lust, and probably lots of licking to celebrate in the X-Men as the Krakoan era cracks apart, so come on down to Love Isla – I mean Temptation Isl – Krakoa for some HOT X-MEN and tier the romance hotness!

Comic Book Herald's Dave Buesing joins the show to discuss the past, present, and future of the X-Men. Buesing discusses what Comic Book Herald is all about, the importance of helping people find where to start, how the experience has shifted his views on comics, our takes on the Krakoa Era, how it'll be viewed in retrospect, our expectations for the Tom Brevoort Era of the X-Men, and more, before we get into our X-Men Fantasy Draft, during which we both cast the comics we predict will be part of the line versus the titles we want to see, but also chat about why Uncanny X-Men is certain to return, which Krakoan had the biggest glow up, how Marvel Unlimited fits, getting trapped in expectations, and  much more.

We're back! Pat and Patrick talk about the beginning of the end of our beloved Krakoan Era, as we talk about Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X. Pat has serious misgivings about all of it, Patrick has a bit more optimism.  Still, we are excited by what the books have in store as we count down to the end!  Plus, some updates on the podcast and scheduling.  Pat on Instagram: @Loikagram Pat on Bluesky: @PatLoika Kori on twitter: @zombilicious Kori on BlueSky: @Zombilicious Kori's other podcast: Culture Cryptids Mike on twitter: @thecomicarchive  Mike on BlueSky: @TheFurthOne Mike's comic:  No Going Back Patrick's twitter: @wmorelkphoenix  Patrick on BlueSky: @PLagua  Krakoan Exports on Instagram: @KrakoanExportsPodcast

THE END OF THE KRAKOAN AGE BEGINS HERE! Dayspring and Askani Son breakdown issue 1 of Fall of the House of X! Spoilers BEWARE!

Jimmy did several interviews before Thought Bubble Festival that he had planned on doing there. This way, his interview schedule wouldn't be too busy at the show. He met up with his friend Kieron Gillen in London to have lunch and interview. A fun and laid-back chat about his run on his many X-Men books and where things are heading post-Krakoan age, Doctor Aphra, DIE, RPGs, advice for people who want to do comics and more. An adorable pub doggie with a plastic cone on would visit us on occasion to be part of the interview as well. Thanks to Kieron for lunch and the interview! Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!

Arakko has their fighters and we have ourselves a tournament! Let's discuss the thrilling conclusion to X of Swords and more importantly, let's spend a little more time talking about how awesome Saturnyne is. Deal?

Things get downright evil as we delve into Nathaniel Essex, aka MISTER SINISTER! How messy does this diva get? Listen now to find out!  Issue 181 - Mister Sinister Intro Background (2:17) Mister Sinister (Nathaniel Essex) created by Chris Claremont in Uncanny X-Men #212 (Dec. 1986) - first seen in #221 (Sept. 1987) drawn by Marc Silvestri Nathaniel Essex born in Victorian London, he is intrigued by Darwin's theories of evolution and survival of the fittest, but believes that mankind can go further After his 4-year-old son dies, he believes that science can perfect the human race - to that end, he hires a gang to kidnap homeless people to serve as test subjects - he allies with Apocalypse, as they share a common goal His wife discovers his imprisoned test subjects, as well as their dead son that Essex had dug up to experiment on - she goes into premature birth, and dies from blood loss, calling him sinister - he takes on the name after En Sabah Nur transforms him with Celestial technology, giving him the powers of immortality and telekinesis Sinister tries to kill Apocalypse, but fails - he commits himself to creating a mutant who can kill him, this leads to the eventual creation of Cable Sinister collaborates with many villains & characters throughout the decades, including being responsible for setting up the High Evolutionary, and having his research be the basis for Weapon X project He keys in on the Summers line, after secretly establishing an orphanage to keep track of children of his experiments - it is here he meets a young boy named Scott Summers, descendant of one of his earliest subjects - Sinister pretends to be Nate, another orphan, and tries to manipulate Scott to become an ally to Sinister until Scott is rescued by Xavier Creates a clone of Jean Grey after determining that a child of Scott and Jean would be capable of killing Apocalypse - after the Phoenix Saga, Scott meets Madelyne Pryor at a Summers family reunion, leading to a whole bunch of messiness Encounters the X-men for the first time during Mutant Massacre Dies during Messiah Complex when he attempts to kidnap the newborn baby Hope - due to earlier experimentations, his consciousness transfers first to Xavier, before transferring to Claudine Renko, a former test subject - she calls herself Miss Sinister Later is restored to a male form and creates an entire civilization of Sinister clones in San Francisco in an attempt to get Celestials to wipe out the planet so he can start anew - this is Kieron Gillen's reboot of the character, and all subsequent stories work off this version Creates five Madelyne clones in an effort to house the Phoenix Force during AvX, but the Phoenix Five destroy everything Sinister built This Sinister is killed by another clone with an X-gene, making Sinister a mutant - it is this clone that works with Xavier and Magneto to compile a database of mutant DNA for the new Krakoan society, and he joins the Quiet Council He also creates several clones of Moira MacTaggert, and exploits her timeline reset ability to his benefit, which leads to Sins of Sinister, where he successfully kills Xavier, Hope, Emma Frost, and Exodus, creating a dystopian future for mutants and mankind Issues - Theme is “The show must go on, but when does it stop?” (12:10) Constant experimentation on others and himself in pursuit of perfection Presentation and theatricality often doom his efforts (17:06) Wants everyone to underestimate him, but overestimates himself (22:14) Break (28:10) Plugs for Frigay the 13th, Hops Geek, and Chris Claremont Treatment (30:20) In-universe - The ultimate family meeting Out of universe - Review making changes just for changes sake Skit (42:40) Hello Mr. Sinister, I'm Dr. Issues. - Hello…Doctor…you know, that doesn't quite fit what we should be going for, here. I don't follow. -While I prefer my choice of moniker, I don't want any mistake in how this works. I am also a doctor. But that's not ALL I am, at this point. Do you catch my drift? So we're colleagues, and I have every intention of giving you the respect you deserve. -Oh, but that's where you're wrong. Colleague denotes equals, peers. There is no such thing with me. Are you trying to intimidate me, or…-*interrupting* Oh my, no! If I wanted to have you cowering in fear, I would simply tear your mind asunder. Then replace it backwards. No, this is all trivial to me. But I'm bored, so let's see where this goes now that I've established dominance. I don't think I've been so eloquently insulted in all of my life! -You're welcome. *clearly angry, but not stupid enough to act* I don't want to be rude back, but if you have no interest in changing anything about yourself, then this is going to be fruitless. -Nonsense, dear doctor. I am all about change for the better. That's why I'm here. I sought you out.  That's refreshing…I guess? Then why demean me? -Is it demeaning to say that an insect is expendable, or a seed only has value once planted? You sound like someone I met once -I know…I learned from the best. So what do you want to change? -*truly evil smile* YOU, my dear Doctor Issues *gulp* I'm always looking to improve…but…um…that's not how therapy works. -Do you doubt that the transference and countertransference phenomenon that were known when I was a much younger lad are true? EVERY therapist changes the moment they speak with a patient. But that is too slow. I need to see my results in real time. *fearful* A..aaaaa…as a doctor, you know that consent is a VERY important part of any changes that would be proposed, and I don't give you that -*curt* This is NOT a review board or ethics panel. What I say, goes. Understand?! Is it too late to say that you're falling back on past patterns of aggression for the sake of comfort in a new environment? -If this were truly a new environment, then you wouldn't be in such dire straits right now. Oh, the torment you may feel for a short while will be well worth my efforts. I will admit though *whispering* I'm not gentle. I would like the anger back, please. Creepy is much worse. -Who said anything about creepy? I'm not hidden about my intentions. My name says enough. Perhaps I could interest you in the meaning behind that also referring to left-handed orientation? -More stalling. *yawn* You are coming off as pathetic now. So, you're not trying to scare me, you're not interested in what I have to say, and you want to...do SOMETHING and I don't know what. Are you trying to build anticipation? I'm confused. -Perhaps ***awkward pause*** OK I've had it. Just do it. Kill me, or torture me, or whatever it is you plan to do because it takes a lot for me to lose my patience nowadays. Just know that each time I try to start a conversation that may be insightful…THERAPEUTIC even, you have ignored it, or mocked it, or intimidated me about it. You're trying to play me like a fool, and I'm NOT having it. I can tell you're cunning, but nobody's really that catty about mental wellness treatment. -Well then, let's see how well your sessions go without this oh so beautiful couch to sit on. *ripping sounds* WHAT? Seriously? It's in the name! Who messes up a couch? -You need someone like me to make this whole room over. Your office is in shambles. Have you never heard of feng shui?  I don't care -*interrupting* Obviously you don't. And your clothes…a button down shirt with stripes? How tacky are you? Is this what you consider changing me for the better? A mastermind doesn't waste their time focusing on minutiae to criticize! - You think this is beneath me? Forget about Lizzo, darling, I engineered my DNA to be 100% that bitch. So then what are your plans for my DNA? -Oh you simple, simple man. You have to learn how to put a comb through your hair, get a decent suit, learn how to tie your shoes properly AND find a decent non-offensive cologne before I ever do gene-work on you! For once, I must focus on the outside instead of what's inside. I'll be here every week until you are worthy of being my next great experiment. Then I'll keep trying to be an example of a regular person who is willing to accept imperfections. I hope that sinks in. -Nonsense.  Until then, consider this my parting gift *laser sound* Whoa…did you just…laser shave…um…but my clothes are still on…you know what? I don't want to talk about it. That was without my consent. - You're quite welcome. This time it was hair. Next time, it will be more than that if you're not careful.
