Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men

196 – The Power Is Yours

Listen Later
Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

In which space bugs break time; you may already be a member of Excalibur; Earth-616 remains somewhat baffled by basic telecommunications technology; you should absolutely not order monkeys from an ad in a comic book; Widget gets a new look; Excalibur gets a new logo; Merlin X-Plains everything; and Rachel gets in touch with her roots.

X-PLAINED:

  • The Timebroker
  • Excalibur #48-50
  • What “fair use” doesn’t mean
  • Penis bones, revisited
  • Feron
  • Prophylactic levitation
  • Several inaccurate flashbacks
  • Someone who is neither a Nazi nor Charles Xavier
  • Necrom (again)
  • The art of heroic exposition
  • Monastic population maintenance
  • Mail-order monkeys
  • Widget’s new look
  • Kylun’s mutant power
  • Several alternate Excaliburs
  • The True Secret Purpose of Excalibur
  • The new Excalibur logo
  • Fighting weird with weird
  • A whole lot of history
  • Phoenix vs. Anti-Phoenix
  • Some very epic thwarting
  • The end of an era
  • Alan Davis’s Excalibur
  • How we work alternate timelines into coverage
  • Bishop and Deathbird as a couple

    • NEXT EPISODE: Wolverine: The Jungle Adventure and Bloody Choices!

    UPDATE: Apparently the dead mail-order monkeys were apocryphal, although we were able to dig up some fairly nightmarish accounts of live mail-order monkeys. …Yay?
