Aaron is joined by Alex Harner to discuss a little comic published by Marvel in 1963 called the X-men #1.  We discuss the historical significance of the issue as well as some of the current events going on at the time that led to the style and tone of the story.  We also look at the issue with our modern perspective to see how well it holds up compared to the vast history and mythos that has become a multi million dollar franchise in the decades since its creation.
