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. Amazing comic artist Phillip Sevy joins us this week for a beautiful X-Men Go To Japan issue! That's right, Phillip's birth month and year issue coincides with Uncanny X-Men 173, where, right before he gets married, Wolverine and his sidekick Rogue take on the majority of Japan's underworld to save the X-Men and his bride. Also in this episode: we delve into Philips artistic influences Wolverine is a badass Phillip's Claremontian words vs art theory Lodro thought ninja sais would be more of a thing as an adult we review the range of comic book injuries from "looking tired" to "blast energy on your chest" Cyclops is bad at introducing his girlfriends Lilandra always carries a lightsaber Storm goes punk Lockheed isn't a cat Wolverine is ready for love Mastermind is the worst ...and more! What does any of this mean for Phillip's future? Tune in to find out! Phillip Sevy is an artist who has spent the last few years drawing for Marvel on titles like X-Men (Astonishing, Unlimited, and From the Ashes), Avengers, Venom, Deadpool, and others. They broke into the comics industry through the Top Cow Talent Hunt, where they drew The Tithe and The Freeze, before moving over to Dark Horse for a lengthy run on Tomb Raider. They wrote The House (with artist Drew Zucker), and wrote and drew Triage, Paradox, and Kepler (with David Duchovny). When they're not feverishly working on comics, you can find them (literally) running around their neighborhood, hiking in the hills, or DMing endless sessions of DnD.

Manny highly recommends American Vampire although his book of the week is the aforementioned Last Stories of the DCU. Finally the book of the week for Jace is Crossover #2 from Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw as the story picks up steam and really starts to show what a celebration of comics it will be.

On this episode of Graphic Policy RadioTini Howard and Devaki Neogi join us to talk about their brand new comic book series The Skeptics from Black Mask Studios. The Skeptics is a stylish, political adventure about a pair of hip, clever teens who fool the world into believing they have superpowers. It is the 1960s. The Russians have the A-bomb, the H-bomb, and now the most terrifying weapon of all: a pair of psychically superpowered young people. Terrified and desperate, the US top brass scours from coast to coast in search of psychic Americans. Enter Dr. Isobel Santaclara, an eccentric illusionist and grifter who has recruited two teenagers and trained them to trick the US government, the Russians, and the whole world into believing they are dangerous psychics. The Skeptics is a pre-punk period piece, a sort of honest, unfuzzy, non-nostalgic look at the Cold War in DC. Writer Tini Howard debuted as a contributor to the hugely successful Kickstarter The Secret Loves Of Geek Girls and was a winner of the Top Cow Talent Hunt before co-creating The Skeptics. She is also currently killing it on Power Rangers: Pink, Magdalena, & she is 1/3 of the Black Mask Witches. Artist Devaki Neogi is a self-taught illustrator with a background in fashion who rose to power when she crushed it on the mini-series Curb Stomp. She joined the Black Mask Family with her beloved Kim & Kim covers before co-creating The Skeptics. We'll discuss all that and more on this brand new episode. We want to hear from you!
