Escape the Mojoverse is back to talk the book Matt has been calling "Sabretooth: Dead and Loving it" for about half a year now! We get hyperviolent, conquer New York Gangs, and practice our thousand yard stare with this years delightfully anarchic Sabretooth: The Dead Don't Talk.

Sabretooth: The Dead Don't Talk is written by Frank Tieri, art by Michael Sta. Maria, colors by Rachelle Rosenberg, Lettered by Vc's Joe Sabino, with design by Jay Bowen

This week the results from our very first fan poll as we read X-Men: The Trial of Magneto: a crossover that ties up loose threads of X-Factor, the book that introduces the Waiting Room, and Wanda trying to make up for the Decimation. Can the book hold the weight of all of that narrative pressure while still being fun and entertaining? Yes, more or less!

Note: for a brief moment Matt gets Warren Ellis and Jeff Loeb mixed up, but we figure it out pretty quick so just hang in there.

A two part mini?!? In this economy?

It's the return of Also By! Our series where we read the other works of the current X-Men writers and artists! Don't remember that? Well we only did it the one time so far! We read Moon Knight (2021) by Jed Mackay and Alessandro Cappuccio. We talk Batcaves, Jed's insanely tight plotting, and how Marc is much hotter with the mask on

Later in the episode we sit down with Megan from Vigilante Vibes to talk her very favorite X-Men comics of the From the Ashes Era.

Our conversation with Megan begins at 44:48

This week on the podcast we're talking NYX with superstar comics writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly "The Hive Mind" You're asking yourself, "didn't they JUST do an episode on NYX with the Hive Mind?" Well, this is about the first one! We talk gritty post 9/11 comics, writing teenagers, and the shocking comic introduction to Laura Kinney.

This week on the mini, it's Allison's turn to drag Matt kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of Webtoon as we read modern retelling of the Hades and Persephone Myth--Lore Olympus. We talk online 'shipping discourse, erotica vs romance tropes, and honestly one of the most wholesome things we've ever read.

Another month another deluge of X-Men comics. This month saw a really strong showing across the brand and was notable for the end of two of the best books of the line--NYX by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing “The Hivemind” and Francesco Mortarino and X-Force by Geoffrey Thorne and Marcus To. Matt--who is writing-- is too sad to put a pithy joke here. Let's get into it!

This week, one of the most daring books of the X-Line came to an end: NYX written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly. We sat down with them to go over their process, what they had in mind for an arc three, and what we can look forward to in their Giant-Size X-Men mini series.

Jackson and Collin can be found here.
