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. With us this week is returning guest, author and comic writer Alex Segura, for a special BOOK LAUNCH EPISODE! That's right! Both Alex Segura and Lodro Rinzler's new books came out two days ago on March 24th and you get the full scoop here. Alex discusses Enemy of My Enemy, a soon-to-be-bestselling Daredevil novel and breaks down what makes up Daredevil's DNA. Lodro relates our comic of the day to his book You Are Good, You Are Enough, which is about coming home to a sense of goodness and wholeness inside of ourselves. We also unpack Alex's comic co-written with previous guest of the show Sara Century, The Forgotten Five, how we all get lost in the trap of doubt at times, and a bonkers Uncanny X-Men issue where Mutina wants to join the X-Men but they don’t let anime kids onto the team. Also in this episode: Tom Breevort Nightcrawler has a first date McKenzie gets BAMFed The X-Animals Chekhov's barn What does any of this have to do with the future of these brand-new books entering the world? We try and figure it out and heck maybe you can help us with that. Tune in for more!
