Customer Reviews
Fun, helpful, quick.
Stumbled on this show and have enjoyed it very much. It gives from-comics background without making someone feel dumb for not already knowing something.
Mutants 101
This is required learning for all X-Men fans.
The premise of the show is wholly interesting and unique, providing a survey on mutant history in chronological order. Rather than being tied down to following publication order and then having to clumsily recap various retcons and ultimately confusing the listener like some podcasts out there, this show follows a very clear order of events from an historical perspective.
It may sound like a Herculean task, but the approach pays off as the host, Noelle, who as a host is both easy going and easy to listen to, brings a real world history background to her summations of X-Men comic book lore.
If you love X-Men, real world history, or both, you must listen!
