Tom Brevoort: Mimic is the Top Banana - Uncanny X-Men 28


Listen Later

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.

This week, Top Banana/Group Editor for the X‑Men line Tom Breevort joins us for an exploration of his birth month and year X-Men issue. Tom discusses his meteoric rise in the ranks at Marvel from intern to editor and VP, why Tom told them they didn't want him editing X-Men, and a look at his wish list for future X-projects. We cover X-Men 28 which Tom fights with Lodro about because he claims this is NOT his birth month and year issue.

Also in this episode:

  • Tom’s favorite comics from the Krakora era
  • Lodro picks a fight about the Cyclops/Jean Grey/Wolverine throuple
  • Which X character does Tom plan to champion next?
  • the introduction of the biggest threat the X-Men ever faced (spoiler: it's just the Banshee and he spends the majority of the issue running errands)
  • how creators get the credit and editors get the blame
  • Lodro dated The Ogre
  • Jean is just trying to get a goddamn education
  • The Ogre is bad at distractions
  • All this plus Tom’s advice for handling intense criticism. What does any of this mean for his future? Tune in to find out!

    Tom Breevort is a highly respected comic book editor and executive who has been a driving force at Marvel since starting as a college intern in 1989. He steadily climbed the ranks—from assistant editor to Executive Editor in 2007—overseeing major series like New Avengers, Civil War, Fantastic Four, and Avengers vs. X‑Men. Promoted in January 2011 to Senior Vice President of Publishing, Tom became Marvel’s longest‑serving editor and, in 2024, took on the role of Group Editor for the X‑Men line amid the From the Ashes relaunch, all while retaining his VP and Executive Editor titles. With decades of experience shaping superhero narratives and nurturing creative talent, Brevoort remains one of the most influential editorial voices in modern comics. He can be found at his website, Substack, X, and on Instagram.
