Join Professor X, Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Hank McCoy, Emma Frost, and new characters like Cassandra Nova, John Sublime, and Xorn as Nico & TK examine how everything changed in this moment.

It's time to look at the stories behind the stories – and Nico's read and ready. The New X-Men era changed EVERYTHING for the X-Men and Marvel. But it wasn't just New X-Men – there were many titles, but few had a creator behind them like Chris Claremont the way X-Treme X-Men did. Over the years, a lot of conversations have been revealed and evolved out of the experiences behind the scenes in the X-Office about how these two books came together. Now, using the Morrison Manifesto (published in the New X-Men Omnibus among other places) and Comics Creators On The X-Men, Nico pulls together interviews with Morrison, Claremont, and input from their collaborators like Marc Silvestri, Chris Bachalo, & more to create a picture of what happened to create these two titles.

Earl and Taboo on Ultimate Hawkeye one-shot - September 24, 2025 - Indigenous Voices book 1. Ultimate Hawkeye #1 is the first solo one-shot of the new Ultimate line — what excited you most about giving Charli Ramsey their own spotlight outside of Ultimates?2. Taboo, you've mentioned this issue is dedicated to your Indigenous relative Jeffrey Veregge — how did that dedication influence the tone or themes of the story?3. The reveal of an all-new Ultimate Ronin is huge — without spoiling too much, how did you want to reimagine this identity for the Ultimate Universe?4. You've both tackled grounded, character-driven Marvel stories before (Daredevil & Echo, Werewolf by Night). How did those past experiences shape your approach to writing in the heightened, alternate-reality stakes of the Ultimate Universe?5. This book also has a framing story by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri — how did you coordinate with them to make sure the one-shot felt both self-contained and part of the bigger Ultimate Endgame build-up?6. The Ultimate line has always been about bold reinvention — what's one thing you think this current era is doing better or differently than the original 2000s run?7. Michael Sta. Maria's art really pops in the preview pages — what kinds of visual cues or storytelling beats did you build into the script knowing his style?

Want to listen to this episode ad-free? Visit our Patreon! Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. With us this week are Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, the hivemind on a victory lap having just completed writing NYX and GIANT SIZE X-MEN. We dive into their earliest work (with Alyssa Milano) and their new video game before getting into everything NYX as a reframe of Krakoan culture. We then cover a comic that came out at the very beginning of their collaboration 20 years ago - New X-Men 14 - which is NOT the X-Men you think it is. It's the New Mutants (no, not those New Mutants) going toe-to-toe with the Hellions (no, the other Hellions) and by toe-to-toe I mean dripping in angst and teenage drama because in this series THERE IS NO PUNCHING. Also in this episode: Collin and Jackson play the X-Newlywed Game Why not to name your comic after one of Elon Musk's kids The X-Men if they were a high school tv drama Julian of the Hellions is just horrible and keeps calling the Cuckoos by the dead ones' names What got left on the cutting room floor for NYX What does this school dance of an X-Men issue mean for the future of their collaborative partnership? Tune in to find out! Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly are a classic rivals-turned-brothers story - and a partnership with work that spans across television, comics, novels, podcasts, and feature films. Raised in hippie enclaves, they met in college and have since built a lifelong creative hivemind, becoming NYT-Bestselling comic book creators with three Eisner nominations along the way. They utilize their deep love of world-building and character-centric story on critically-acclaimed titles such as CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY (Marvel), GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (Marvel), BATMAN BEYOND: NEO-YEAR (DC), ONE BAD DAY: CLAYFACE (DC Comics), STAR TREK (IDW) and of course fans of this show know their work on NYX and Giant Sized X-Men.
