- Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0035: Epic X-Men Re-Read – Uncanny X-Men (1963) #111 (plus Captain America Annual 4 & Marvel Team-Up #69)
Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont X-Men material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!
In this episode we read a series of non-Uncanny issues that lead up to the in medias res start to Uncanny X-Men (1963) #111.
- First, we see what Magneto has been up to after his encounter with the team in UXM 104 in his Jack Kirby penned appearance in Captain America (1968) Annual 4.
- Then, we check out how Mesmero managed to mesmerize the full team of X-Men – and, especially, Jean Grey – in Classic X-Men (1986) #17.
- And, finally, we learn how Beast gets roped into this adventure (and what Havok and Polaris have been up to) in Marvel Team-Up (1972) #69.
After all that, we’re ready for UXM 111, and I’ll be honest – we spend a lot of the time talking about how hot we think Magneto looks.
Our conversation includes some minor comments and spoilers for House of X and Powers of X – especially for House of X #2, so you’ve been warned! We also comment very broadly on Reign of X, but in a non-spoiler fashion.

0 min - Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0034: This Week in X, 17 February 2021
It’s This Week in X for 17 February, 2021!
Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss Cable (2020 #8, Marauders (2019) #18, and X-Men Legends (2021) #1!
- In Cable #8, the clones on clones on clones plot didn’t only confuse Teen Cable – it took some discussion for us to unravel who was a clone of whom. Plus, we discussed time hijinks and Domino’s lucky strike.
- Next, Marauders #18 had one of the hugest post-HOXPOX plot developments as well as one of our favorite post-HOXPOX moments… and they were in two different scenes! Can you guess which one was which?
- Finally, X-Men Legends #1 transported us back to the 90s in more ways than one, to Tyler’s delight (while Fariha & Peter remain undecided)! We discussed Sinister backstory, 90s plot rhythms, and why THIS BLOOD IS ON FIRE.
- Plus, some quick bulletins about X-appearances in Champions, King in Black, and Savage Avengers.
Spoiler warning – we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from this week, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.

It’s This Week in X for 10 February, 2021!
Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss SWORD (2021) #3, Excalibur (2019) #18!, X-Force (2020) #17, and Wolverine: Black White & Blood #3.
- In SWORD #3, we follow Manifold through three conversations as it redefines his powers and discuss each one – with him as terrestrial family man in the Australian Outback, an interstellar diplomat trying to end the SnarkWar, and internal spy within SWORD.
- In Excalibur #18, we get very excited about a memo from Saturnyne and Emma’s “I mean business hairdo.” Also, we discuss what would make Rictor feel more complete (hint: it’s not mutant magic).
- In X-Force #17, we discuss the many deaths (18!) and costumes (8!) of Quentin Quire, but also unreliable narrators, locked boxes, past trauma, affection vs transaction, (X-)gene editing, and BEAUTIFUL artwork.
- And, finally, we conduct a lightning round review of Wolverine: Black White & Blood #3.
Spoiler warning – we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from this week, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.

0 min - Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0032: Epic X-Men Re-Read – Uncanny X-Men (1963) #109-110
Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont X-Men material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!
In this episode we discuss a pair of down-time issues in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #109-110. Issue #109 finds a lovely lake-side picnic interrupted by a certain maple-leaf-wearing visitor hot on Wolverine’s proverbial tail. Issue #110 is a fill-in, but a planned fill-in, which means it has a bit more heft to it than our recent read of issue #106. Plus, we check in on the back-up stories in Classic X-Men (1986) #16 and 27-28, which also fit in this period.
Our conversation includes some minor comments and spoilers for House of X and Powers of X – especially for House of X #2, so you’ve been warned! We also comment very broadly on Reign of X, but in a total non-spoiler fashion.

It’s This Week in X for 3 February, 2021!
Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss Hellions (2020) #9, X-Factor (2020) #7, & King in Black: Marauders (2021).
In Hellions #9, we wonder who is betraying whom and when the deception really starts. In King in Black: Marauders, we have a lot to say about Kate’s compassion, Bishop’s role, and Krakoan mercy. And, we’re once again obsessed with everything in X-Factor #7, from the dynamics of speed to characer rehab to reading faces.
Spoiler warning – we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from this week, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.

Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont X-Men material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!
In this episode we discuss the major developments that come from the X-Men’s journey into the M’Kraan crystal in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #107-108 – including a major creative development with the arrival of John Byrne! We also check in on the back-up background stories in Classic X-Men (1986) #14-15, plus Iron Fist (1975) #15, which is more or less UXM #108.5.
Our conversation includes some minor spoilers for House of X and Powers of X – especially for House of X #2, so you’ve been warned!

It’s This Week in X for 27 January, 2021!
Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss Excalibur (2019) #17, Wolverine (2020) #9, New Mutants #15, & X-Men #17 – a massive week of X-Men comics!
In Excalibur #17, why must Betsy escape her better life? And, has this book been about dual identities all along? In Wolverine, does the issue elevate itself beyond just another Madripoor plot? In New Mutants, the plot is so dense with character development we can barely discuss it all in an entire hour – but we try! And, finally, we try to make some sense of X-Men #17.
Spoiler warning – we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from this week, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.

We’re back for more classic X-Men! Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!
In this episode we discuss a Chris Claremont & Bill Mantlo fill-in issue on Uncanny X-Men (1963) #106 that doesn’t give us too much to dig into other than which X-Man we’d prefer to date.
That leaves us plenty of time to focus on two other Claremont comics of the same period. First, we visit Iron Fist (1975) #14, the penultimate chapter of his run on Iron Fist with John Byrne and the debut of Sabretooth! Then, we check out what Claremont is up to on Ms. Marvel (1977) #9-10, the debut of Deathbird!
Our conversation includes some minor spoilers for House of X and Powers of X – especially for House of X #2, so you’ve been warned!

Join Peter, Tyler, & Harry as we discuss X-Force (2020) #16 and Cable (2020) #7.
X-Force #16 finds the X-Force team investigating the aggressive infection expelled by Krakoa last issue. Is it a cancer? A parasite? Whatever it is, now it has settled into a deep trench under the waves, and it’s up to Wolverine, Forge, and Quentin Quire to eliminate it.
Cable #7 finds Cable picking up the kidnapped mutant babies plot from prior to X of Swords, but with another member of the Summers clan along for the ride. What will happen when he gets to the bottom of the mystery and realizes it has more to do with him than he could have ever expected!?
