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.

Your favorite graphic novelist you don't know yet, Alex Dvorak, joins our host Lodro Rinzler to discuss ACTS OF VENGEANCE, which is basically the comic equivalent of slamming action figures together. In this case, Wolverine fights the Mandarin...and Betsy Braddock in an ambiguously Asian new body! Huh?

But wait! It's also the X-Men Meditation Issue.

As if that's not enough going on, additional topics include:

how does Psylocke even get that strappy banded outfit on?

Wolverine sometimes just says things that he thinks sounds cool

Jubilee dresses exactly like Batman's sidekick Robin

sometimes your powers just sound like "Zappa dappa doo!"

Banshee's arch enemy is the white noise machine in a kid's nursery

What does any of this mean for Alex's future? Tune in to find out!
