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.

For our 75th episode we hang with current Uncanny X-Men artist Luciano Vecchio! He discusses his trajectory to becoming the artist he is today, how he designed the fashion for the recent Hellfire Vigil, and his birth month and year issue which is the NEW MUTANTS Graphic Novel y'all!

Also in this episode:

Lodro just says, "Jesus Christ, Claremont" every 3 minutes

Rahne is the last wolf in all of Scotland

If someone disappears from your line of sight, it doesn't mean that they're dead

The more powerful Roberto gets, the blacker he gets

Donald Pierce is an Inspector Gadget villain with excellent satellite TV

Professor X loves bringing teens to funerals

Pink is a good choice for your metal goon armor but for skin masks? Not so much

Rahne is beautiful and monstrous

All this plus Luciano does a better job with his horoscope that our host does. Tune in for the fun!

Luciano Vecchio is an acclaimed comic book artist known for his dynamic storytelling and distinctive, cinematic style. He has worked on a wide range of titles across Marvel and DC, bringing characters to life with striking emotion and energy. Among his notable work are contributions to X-Men, Avengers, and Doctor Strange, where his art balances epic action with nuanced character moments. Fans of the show may know him as the artist on the current flagship title Uncanny X-Men although he was quite active during the end of the Krakoa era with pencils in Rise of the Power of X, Resurrection of Magneto, and of course the most recent Hellfire Gala. Luciano’s passion for comics is matched by his keen insight into the characters’ inner lives, making him a perfect guest to explore the personalities, quirks, and cosmic destinies of the X-Men.
