In 1984, the comics industry was irrevocably changed by the first major line-wide crossover: SECRET WARS!

June 04, 2020 '80s Mutant Mania: Mad Jim, The Fury, and the Darkest Days of Captain Britain in Marvel UK and The Daredevils
Captain Britain is finally back where he belongs: in his own solo stories... but not his own universe?! After their extensive detour through the pages of Miracleman, Nico and Kevo return to the hero that got them started with the run that put him on the map. Captain Britain enters the larger picture of the omniversal Marvel Universe, and he encounters the characters that would come to define him for decades like The Crazy Gang, the Captain Britain Corps, Saturnine, and (maybe most importantly) Betsy, who is finally being the recognizable driven, intelligent powerful character she is known to be! All this, plus Slaymaster tries to pretend that cultural appropriation is a superpower in an all-new X is for Podcast! Read along with Marvel Superheroes UK 377-388 and The Daredevils 1-11.

Bobby's got cold feet while Hank's got too much feet: welcome to the origins of the Xavier Student Body!

Like, uh, Iceman's really straight here, you guys.

May 25, 2020 '80s Mutant Mania: Morlocks, Wedlock, and Kitty Pryde's Journey to Adulthood in the Uncanny X-Men!
The X-Men were riding high as one of Marvel's biggest successes: Claremont was churning out two books per month, Uncanny X-Men and New Mutants, filled with crossovers and plotting. But as the world of X grew, so, too, did the desire for the world around it to consume it. Thus, the issues leading to Secret Wars were born! Less of an arc than a quick-once over, Claremont used these four issues leading up to Secret Wars to get his ducks in a row, leading to some uneven issues. Join Jonah, Dylan, and Nico as they examine the issues that confirm Doug is a mutant, Storm is a new woman, and the X-Men are heading to a new world... plus, Matty on the new back-up feature on an all new X is for Podcast! Read along with Uncanny X-Men 177-180.

May 21, 2020 '80s Mutant Mania: Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, and Marvelman in the Age of Miracles
Nico and Kevo say goodbye to Miracleman, Marvelman, and Mickey himself! In the early 90s, after Alan Moore left the title, the editorial team behind Miracleman (at Mooreís suggestion) turned the reins over to Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham. Gaiman was entering the first rock star phase of his career, comics were shifting away from superhero-exclusive, and British works were being imported... oddly. Join the HTML Guys on X is for Podcast as they give a brief history of Moore and Gaimanís publication during the Age of Miracles, take a look at the final completed arc of Miracleman, and say goodbye to the Miracleverse on an all new X is for Podcast! Read along with Miracleman by Gaiman and Buckingham #1-6.

The History of the Marvel Universe comes to a close in the future at the end of time! Of course, it’s not a direct line there; Nico, Jonah, Dylan, Regina, and Kyle take a look back, along with some friends, at the O5, original Bro’hood, and more, examining the characters from history that stand out, that faded away, and that no one ever liked anyway (WARREN). Then, the team wraps up THotMU before introducing their next projects, including joining forces with a coalition of X-Men podcasts to help raise money for shops, as well as their upcoming X-Men: Origins series on an all-new We Are Krakoa! Read along with The History of the Marvel Universe #1-6.

May 14, 2020 '80s Mutant Mania: The Un-Re-Released X-Men and the Non-Marvel Micronauts?!
The X-Men are one of the few comics franchises that you can be sure literally every page will see collection. That's a fact of life. However, every now and then, something occurs, rendering issues unavailable to the collections department. Such is the case with The X-Men vs. the Micronauts! Having covered Micronauts #37 featuring Kurt earlier, Nico and Jonah sit down to teach Dylan all about the Micronauts, only to discover that he knows more than they do!
