Welcome to the Study, listeners! Things go a little bit sideways in this issue of New Mutants as we discuss Marvel's fictional countries in Central America and how the kids might not be alright. Meanwhile in X-Force we get to talk about the rest of the council's reaction to Xavier's mutant CIA as well as Forge's sick look and we end this series of comics talking about how Fallen Angels might have a bit of a thematic connection to rest of the Krakoa stuff after all.

NEXT WEEK: X-Force (2019) #2, Fallen Angels (2019) #2 and New Mutants (2019) #2

Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this episode, we turn away from the more laidback style of storytelling the last two comics introduced and go back to a bleaker outlook for mutantkind. Paranoia, fear, hatred, and murder are back with X-Force #1 and Fallen Angels #1 as they both explore what it means to be hated in this new era. Missing mutants, chemical weapons, cybernetic drugs and - the death of Charles Xavier!? We cover all of this and more as we discuss whether this darker look on mutants hits its mark or leaves us wishing for a brighter, less edgy future.

NEXT WEEK: X-Men (2019) #2, Marauders #2 & Excalibur (2019) #2

Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this episode, we delve into the mysterious, terrifying, and downright bizzare world of Great Britain and its' stalwart protector - Captain Britain! How do mutants fit into this new realm of magic and fae in Excalibur #1? We discuss those beginnings and more as multiple characters are introduced through their struggle for a new identity. We also take a look at New Mutants #1 and its cast of loveable friends as they take a more laidback and personal approach to a story. Plus, it's perhaps the prettiest comic we've read to date!

Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this episode, we discuss the sixth issues of House of X and Powers of X. Our first issue features the first meeting of the Quiet Council as they discuss the first laws of Krakoa and try to figure out what to do with Sabertooth. In Powers of X we have another re-contextualization of the Charles Xavier and Moira conversation from earlier in the run before we go into to a conversation between Xavier, Magneto, and Moira in the present and what the next step is. We also finally reach the conclusion of the X3 weird sci-fi plot line.
