Welcome back, friends. In this months instalment your heroes travel back in time some 40 years to read a book that seems so strangely familiar it could have been written last week. Join Sleeves and Galactosh as they discover a world of religious intolerance, unease of the different and persecution of the rights of minority groups. Where powerful people grab hold of the growing fears of the public for their own political gain. 

That's right... we're talking X-men! Why do Collossus and Nightcrawler's accents go temporarily missing? Why does Galactosh think he can do a Werner Herzog impression? Just how many fake out deaths and cliffhangers can a writer get away with? The joys of perfect foreshadowing and endless influences on the movies await, as we discuss... X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills.
