On a special bonus episode of our podcast, we're looking into the State of X, aka the state of Marvel's X-Men line. We start off by taking a look back at the Krakoa Era and its legacy, and how it has impacted the "From the Ashes" era. From there, we discuss the current X-Men books, including the flagship X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, and Exceptional X-Men, as well as the spinoffs, solo titles, and events. And going into year two of this new X-Men era, what do we want to see the line become?
