    Episode 17: X-Men: Mad Avenue

    Chances are, you haven't heard of X-Men: Mad Avenue, but that changes today. Becca and Josie are pleased to welcome Riley Thomas to the podcast to talk about the X-Men musical he created! X-Men Mad Avenue is a new musical designed to be performed in schools, and Josie and Becca love talking about X-Men, theater, and schools, so this had to happen. Why does the X-Men work so well as a musical? What are the benefits of teaching the X-Men in schools? And what happens when you commit to race-blind and gender-blind casting in theater? Children are the future, and here comes tomorrow! Plus: Check out the soundtrack to X-Men: Mad Avenue!

    Episode 15: Here Comes Tomorrow (New X-Men 151-154)

    Look, we're all living in a badly-wounded orphan universe, so strap in and get ready for some Phoenix Work. Josie and Becca are back from their holiday time-skip with the final arc of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, the eponymous Here Comes Tomorrow! The girls explore this unfortunately-relevant arc, full of hope in the face of Sublime's fascist takeover. How do the struggles of Tom Skylark and company teach us about avoiding "doomerism" and staying hopeful? You're not going to want to miss this episode!

    Episode 14: Planet X (feat. Asher Elbein) (New X-Men 146-150)

    Magneto is back? Xorn isn't real??? You better believe it, kids! It's a scary new world in New York City, but luckily, Josie and Becca are joined by a real Magneto expert: writer Asher Elbein! This is an important X-Men run that redefined what Magneto could be, for good or for ill, and that means the girls have a lot to talk about. You won't want to miss our SEASON 1 FINALE: and yes, there will be a Season 2 where we WILL get to Here Comes Tomorrow.

    Episode 13: Assault on Weapon Plus (feat. Tegan O'Neil) (New X-Men 142-145)

    We're entering the home stretch of New X-Men and things are getting intense. This week, Josie and Becca break into The World as they launch an Assault on Weapon Plus. Luckily, they're joined by longtime comics critic, Josie's good friend Tegan O'Neil, who is here to guide our girls through the perilous journey. Did this comic change Wolverine forever, or is nothing that permanent in the world of Marvel? How does this arc serve as a foil to "Dust?" And of course, it wouldn't be Here Comes Tomorrow if Becca didn't make this about being transgender!

    Episode 12: Murder at the Mansion (feat. Evan Narcisse) (New X-Men 139-141)

    It's time for Grant Morrison to ask "whodunnit?" and your hosts to ask "why do we care?" That's right, it's Morrison's cooldown arc from the past few heavy-hitting storylines, Murder at the Mansion! But don't skip this one, listeners, because Josie and Becca are joined by an incredible guest: Marvel comics writer Evan Narcisse! Evan joins the girls to discuss this Bishop-centered story, as well as race and representation in media as a whole. How does this story show us about Grant's views on societal norms, even while trying to return the book to status quo? The real mystery is why you haven't downloaded this episode already!

    Episode 11: Riot at Xavier's (feat. Jay Edidin) (New X-Men 134-138)

    New X-Men is a comic about the new vs. the old, and Riot at Xavier's is that theme at its most relevant. Which is why Josie and Becca needed a very special guest: Jay Edidin of Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men! That's right, it's the crossover you've all been waiting for! There's so much to discuss about political and cultural frustrations as we discuss the rise and fall of the other New X-Men. And of course, you can't podcast with three trans people, two of whom did Quentin Quire cosplays, without getting into some deep thoughts on gender. Plus, Beast's sexuality gets addressed once again! Content Warnings: Discussions of fascism, transphobia, school shootings Next Week's Reading: New X-Men #139 - 141 (Murder at the Mansion) Credits: Hosting and Production: Josephine Riesman (@josie.zone) & Becca Petunia (@tallgirlpetunia.bsky.social) Guest: Jay Edidin (@edidin) Editing: Ella Tailor (@garaktailor.com‬) Theme Song: "Theme from 'Here Comes Tomorrow'" by Rachel Garrett Steele (@pengarr.postes.club‬) featuring Bobson Dugnutt Jr. Podcast Art: Pencils & Inks by Chris Burnham (@theburnham.bsky.social), Colors by Tamra Bonvillan (@tamrabonvillain.bsky.social), Logo by Jodie Troutman (@longtalljodie.com) Visit herecomestomorrow.net and follow us on BlueSky @herecomestomorrow.net for more!

    Episode 10: Dust (feat. Doc) (New X-Men 133)

    It's time for Josie and Becca to wade into the most infamous New X-Men issue of all: Dust, 2002's post-9/11 Islamophobia whirlwind tour. So yeah, first of all, check the content warnings for this one. But secondly, and more excitingly, the girls are joined by Doc, a friend of Becca's from her Fantastic 4 blogging days. Doc is a Palestinian hijabi with a literal doctorate in medicine and a figurative doctorate in Dr. Doom, and she comes prepared with thoughts about what Dust says about the world after 2001. And she also has a bone to pick with Grant Morrison. But don't worry, there's also an exciting reveal about whether Dr. Doom is transphobic, so it all works out in the end, I guess. Girlies and queerdos alike don't want to miss this one, I promise. Content Warnings: Discussions of Islamophobia, racism, 9/11, terrorism, rape, human trafficking, Comicsgate, transphobia, fascism Next Week's Reading: New X-Men #134 - #138 (Riot at Xavier's) (hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah) Credits: Hosting and Production: Josephine Riesman (@josie.zone) & Becca Petunia (@tallgirlpetunia.bsky.social) Guest: Doc (@foeyeahboi) Editing: Ella Tailor (@garaktailor.com‬) Theme Song: "Theme from 'Here Comes Tomorrow'" by Rachel Garrett Steele (@pengarr.postes.club‬) featuring Bobson Dugnutt Jr. Podcast Art: Pencils & Inks by Chris Burnham (@theburnham.bsky.social), Colors by Tamra Bonvillan (@tamrabonvillain.bsky.social), Logo by Jodie Troutman (@longtalljodie.com) Visit herecomestomorrow.net and follow us on BlueSky @herecomestomorrow.net for more!
