This is it. It’s here. Spider-Girl turns 100. That’s a big number. It’s a feat no other woman in the Marvel Universe has successfully managed without Legacy numbering or a reboot.

A lot has happened in the last few days and the X Is For Podcast crew needed a chance to talk.

It's an all new XI4P -- and we're digging into the Avengers, Legacy, & The Marvel Universe at large! After an intro from Nico, the team takes a look at the second volume of Jason Aaron's Avengers, issues #7-12, which leads to a discussion of Marvel Legacy (2017). The volume takes The Avengers out of center stage and lays the groundwork for years of storytelling still paying off now as the world enters Judgment Day. From Namor and the Defenders of the Deep to Coulsen and his new Squadron Supreme of America, Jason Aaron and a slew of incredible artists craft an increasingly darker vision of the Marvel Universe -- and including the Avengers 700th issue -- this one is bursting with Avengers.

Then, take a look at Wolverine #22 by Ben Percy and Adam Kubert, which leads to a discussion about the bigger picture of Krakoan publishing -- can you jump on easily now? Which titles lift out to be read solo (0:39:30)? Finally, join the team as they look at the newest issue in Marvel's now long-running (by Marvel standards) Black, White, & Blood series, featuring Wolverine scribe Ben Percy and more (1:15:15).
