X Is For Show -- A Comic Reading Experience Nico J Vasilo

It’s hard saying goodbye to five years of storytelling we all became so attached to but somehow, the era that started our modern coverage has come to an end, and now Nico & TK must say goodbye. X-Men #700 or #35 or whatever isn’t really the goodbye the team hoped for and leads to a twisting, complex discussion with a lot of complicated feelings and a lot of questions. Then, with the new Marvel/DC format, the duo discuss DC with The Boy Wonder #2 (and the first issue, too), where they discuss the effort it can (or not!) take to cross between companies when you lack the experience and history, and how in the case of the Bat titles, right now, it doesn’t seem too hard to jump on! All this and more on an all new X Is For Podcast!

X-Men ‘97 is taking big swings, big chances, and adapting some big stories. This week featured part Hellfire Gala, part Krakoa/Genosha, part E Is For Extinction genocide event, and then a huge helping of new, wild ideas to challenge the status quo of the X-Men. Also, Ace Of Base? But beyond these core elements, there’s a ton of crazy cameos, some shocking character deaths, and over all, a few too many ideas for one regular length episode of X-Men!

Nico & TK continue their examination of Marvel & DC with the end of one mini and the beginning of another. The X-Men’s Krakoan era comes to an at times awkward, but very well-intentioned finale with Rise Of The Powers Of X #5, seeing Jean rise up against the dark specter of Mister Sinister, marching the mutants towards their From The Ashes reboot. Then, Nico takes TK somewhere he’s never been – BATMAN! The two dive into Batman: The Dark Age, a Mike Allred/Mark Russell reimagining of Batman. The big surprise is in our reviews so don’t forget to hit play, tune in, and check out an all new X Is For Show!
