Welcome to the Study, listeners! In our second episode, we discuss the second issues of House of X and Powers of X. One of them is an in-depth recontextualization of a pretty important scene from the series' first issue as we learn of Moira's past(s) and what drove her to that fateful encounter with Xavier 10 years ago. The other continues previous trends by presenting a series of vignettes following the X-Men struggle against their enemies across different locations and times, and is capped off by a lengthy technobabble info drop. We hope you enjoy the discussion!

NEXT WEEK: Powers of X #3 & House of X #3

Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this inaugural episode, we briefly introduce ourselves before setting out on our X-Men journey by discussing the first issues of both House of X and Powers of X, the beginning of an interlocked miniseries created by writer Jonathan Hickman and published in 2019, marking a big relaunch for the franchise. Among other things, we discuss how mutants have had a rough time, the not-so-subtle political maneuvers of Magneto, and sick robot designs. Whether you're a new reader or an old veteran, we hope you enjoy listening!
