Loki is out for revenge against the X-men, and the New Mutants get caught in the middle.
We took a break from playing Marvel Snap to try something a little different. We still read a bunch of comics (in this case, Giant Size Dracula #2, The New Mutants Special Edition #1, and The Chris Claremont Anniversary Special), but this time we chose to focus on the career of one individual. There's a clue to who the topic of our exploration this week was in one of the issue titles. Can you figure it out?
It's a New Mutants Special Edition here on X Is For Podcast! Kick things off with conversational look at the history of New Mutants and school titles via their publishing and a brief snapshot of the characters in question from later this episode (0:00:00) before moving over to a recent X-Men Unlimited two-part arc featuring the New Mutant's original polyglot, Cypher, in X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #42-43 (0:26:00)! Then, move over to the current going-ons of the (mostly) OG New Mutants in New Mutants #28, also featuring Inferno-powerhouse Madelyne Pryor in power battle for Limbo (0:47:30)! Lastly, check out Jane Foster & the Mighty Thor's first three issues (of five) where longtime Illyana-nemesis and Limbo-locust Sym makes an appearance as does Prometheum (1:23:00)! Strap in for an all new XI4P – we hope you survive the experience!
