Ever wonder if your favorite 90s comic books hold up? Are you worried nostalgia is clouding your memories? Do you want to hear a trio of dorks discuss this?
If you bothered answering those hypothetical questions at all, The 90s Never Happened is the podcast for you! Join Daniel Aegan as he drags Jude Graves and Bree Rose through a decade mired in slop. Find out if the big guns and bigger breasts of 90s comics stood the test of time. Will Jude’s comic virginity save her from a decade out to harm her mind? Will Bree be able to contain her giggles during any given episode? Will Dan be able to hold it all together when his co-hosts can’t go a minute without making things feel hot and wrong?
The 90s are back, and no one is happy about it. Join the crew and relive events like Maximum Carnage, Fatal Attractions, that time Wolverine ripped off Thing’s face, and more action than you can handle.
This will be your only warning.
Welcome to The 90s Never Happened, your one-stop podcast for everything you wanted to know about 90s comics but are too afraid to ask!
This week, Dan and Bree welcome CJ Behsara to sub for Jude, who once again got lost in Canada. Speaking of Canada, we're reading Alpha Flight #106 from March of 1992. This 'landmark' comic shows you Northstar as you've never known him before! Also, there's a graphic and harrowing tale about an AIDS baby. No, seriously.
Join us as we dissect this issue, its contents, and how it handled the AIDS epidemic in true 90s style. There's not much else to say without giving it away...
Remember, if anyone asks you what comics they should read, be sure to tell them the 90s Never Happened!

Content warning: The comic we read this week deals with pediatric AIDS, homosexuality, and the grief and stigma attached to these subjects. Though we will be poking fun at the comic and how it was written, we will not be insulting anyone who has suffered or have lost due to this horrible disease. The subject matter contained within the story gets heavy and dark at times.

Episode 30: X-Cutioner's X-Pilogue
Welcome to The 90s Never Happened, your one-stop podcast for everything you wanted to know about 90s comics but are too afraid to ask!
I bet you thought we were done with 1992-93's X-Title crossover X-Cutioner's Song, but it turns out you were WRONG! It also turns out that Marvel decided to end this beefy storyline with a trio of comic book epilogues with Uncanny X-Men #297 (Song’s End), X-Factor #87 (X-Aminations), and X-Force #19 (The Dream Divided). We slog our way through these issues to put the punctuation on a crossover that already felt too full.
How does Professor X fair when Jubilee puts him on wheels? Are Beast and Archangel going to guest star on This Old House? Is any member of X-Factor fit to wear tights? Why is Boom Boom so obsessed with clothes? We'll answer all these questions and more in X-Cutioner's X-Pilogue!

Episode 29: We Are So X-Hausted
Welcome to The 90s Never Happened, your one-stop podcast for everything you wanted to know about 90s comics but are too afraid to ask!
Finally, we finish 1992-93's X-Men X-Over X-Cutioner's Song, and it has x-hausted us! This episode, we read parts 10-12 from 1993’s X-Factor #86, X-Men #16, & X-Force #18 and go out in style. Stryfe is still on his mommy/daddy fetishist bullshit, Wolverine wants some hot moon action, and all the plot points that have been driving us bananas are all resolved...ish.
Get your teleporter fired up, your secret moon base full of beer, and your enemies all in one room for this massive ending to an overstuffed storyline! Do Dan, Jude, and Bree make it weird? You bet they do!
