This week Lodro climbs inside the brain of the incredible comic writer Tini Howard to explore how something so fantastic and unique as Marian Heretic (her new creator owned comic out THIS WEEK - go buy it) came to be.

We explore everything Catholicism before moving into what it was like to write X-Men during the pandemic with the intense writers room of the Krakoa Era and then look at her birth month/year issue: it's mofo LIFEDEATH II y'all.

Her work includes critically-acclaimed runs on Catwoman and Harley Quinn for DC Comics, building Marvel’s Krakoan Age of X-Men with a focus on building out Otherworld, writing books like Excalibur, X-Corp, and Betsy Braddock, Captain Britain, as well as her own creator-owned work such as Assassinistas and Euthanauts.

This week on the show we have Sara Century, host of the Best Issue Ever podcast and co-writer for The Forgotten Five comic (which is truly a lot of fun).

We discuss her birth month and year issue - Uncanny X-Men 167 - which is basically mom and dad issues galore, as Professor X is transformed into a Brood Queen and the X-Men have to fight their way through the New Mutants to kill him! What?!

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.

We dive into their earliest work (with Alyssa Milano) and their new video game before getting into everything NYX as a reframe of Krakoan culture.

We then cover a comic that came out at the very beginning of their collaboration 20 years ago - New X-Men 14 - which is NOT the X-Men you think it is. It's the New Mutants (no, not those New Mutants) going toe-to-toe with the Hellions (no, the other Hellions) and by toe-to-toe I mean dripping in angst and teenage drama because in this series THERE IS NO PUNCHING.

Also in this episode:

Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly are a classic rivals-turned-brothers story - and a partnership with work that spans across television, comics, novels, podcasts, and feature films. Raised in hippie enclaves, they met in college and have since built a lifelong creative hivemind, becoming NYT-Bestselling comic book creators with three Eisner nominations along the way. They utilize their deep love of world-building and character-centric story on critically-acclaimed titles such as CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY (Marvel), GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (Marvel), BATMAN BEYOND: NEO-YEAR (DC), ONE BAD DAY: CLAYFACE (DC Comics), STAR TREK (IDW) and of course fans of this show know their work on NYX and Giant Sized X-Men.

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 on the show we have dear friend Dr. Scott DeGeest to talk about AI sentinels taking over humanity, Mastermind, and Human Torch Con. We dive into his birth month and year issue (Uncanny X-Men 175) where everyone thinks Cyclops is Dark Phoenix but don't worry...he had ten minutes to plan in response PLUS a belt calculator so he'll be okay.

Dr. Scott DeGeest has been lost in the world of X-Men and comics at large since age eight when he was left unsupervised for too long at the 1992 San Diego Comic Con. Early issues of Excalibur first sparked his love for the franchise. Today, he works as a principal data scientist at a tech company, where he uses his knowledge and curiosity about technology to explore science fiction about artificial intelligence, data science, and robots.

In the world of X-Men podcasts, Scott is a regular contributor on Graymalkin Lane. He currently voices Steven Lang on that show's X-Men read-along. A regular guest on podcasts inside and outside of comics, Scott enjoys talking about the gaps between science fiction and science fact, especially related to portrayals of AI in comics.

If you ask him, Scott will usually tell you his favorite X-Men character is Cyclops. However, if you press him, he will quickly go into lengthy detail about his interest in Rachel Summers. What’s not to love about a psychic, time-traveling daughter from a dystopian future ruled by genocidal robots?
