For every X-Men fan who’s wanted to get their partner into the conversation and every friend or family member who just doesn’t want to read the comics, welcome to “The X-Wife Podcast.” Justin’s wife Alicia has never read an X-Men comic and she plans to keep it that way… for now! Join as they dive in, break down and question Jonathan Hickman’s new vision of Marvel’s merry mutants on Krakoa. House of X, Powers of X, and the Dawn of X all kick off a story that’s billed as a perfect jumping-on point for new readers, but with more than 50 years of continuity that overwrites and contradicts itself, can there ever be a seamless start?

X-Current: DNX Preview
Can't get too far before another event peeks its head over the horizon. But after going through the details, we're actually pretty into this one! We're talking about the upcoming DNX! Haven't heard of DNX? Neither had Alicia! Free Comic Book Day gave us our first look at what's to come. We go through those new pages along with the solicitations and burning questions. DNX Event Marketing Copy - 5:15 |Issue 1 Solicitation - 11:32 |Gifting Mutant Powers - 15:33 |Free Comic Book Day Preview - 22:01 | Thanks for joining us in our nineteenth episode of an evolving new format.

X-Books: Exceptional X-Men (2024) and X-Men United #1
We're taking on the third and final X-Men title in the From the Ashes' launch, Exceptional X-Men! Katherine Pryde brings us into her headspace as she wrestles with what it means to be a mutant in a post-Krakoa world. Does she even want to be an X-Man? Part 1: Where We Start - 02:45 | Kate's turning her back on it all! She doesn't want to fight bad guys or train the next generation of mutants, she just wants to slang dranks and run from the weight of responsibility. Good luck! Quickly people start to find her, including new mutants, old friends, and manipulative bad guys. Even her past self has some things to say! We talk about the 13 issue arc of Exceptional X-Men from a full binge perspective. Part 2: Exceptional's Identity Narratives with Lodro Rinzler - 40:37 | We’re joined by our friend and X-Pert, Lodro Rinzler! Lodro is a writer, podcaster and Buddhist meditation teacher. We talk through the ways we and characters view ourselves, the narratives we reinforce and the basic goodness that lives within everyone - maybe not Mr. Sinister, jury's still out. Check out Lodro's new book "You Are Good, You Are Enough" to dive further into the themes we discuss, available wherever you get your books. Also listen to X-Men Horoscopes for delightful insights into the lives of X-fans through comics. Part 3: Thoughts and Questions - 01:27:15 | We check in with the voice of the people! We discuss reflections on the series as a whole, lingering questions, predictions and thorns in our sides. Part 4: X-Men United #1 - 1:41:20 We wrap up our episode with a conversation about the first issue of X-Men United. What does this title bring to the line that's new and different? How does it expand the questions being asked - or ignored - in other titles? And what are the Exceptional kids doing as tutors!? Even Reggie... 🤨 Thanks for joining us in our eighteenth episode of an evolving new format. We’re trying out different ways to talk about things within continuity that excited us and we’d love to hear what you think! Leave us a review, send us a DM or shout from the telepathic rooftops! It’s all greatly appreciated.
