For being super heroes, the X-Men and Avengers fight a ton. This is a time-honored tradition from every generation. Also, Magneto is the only one to be in all of these which is a weird fun fact I forgot about. Oh, and this episode is long because AvX is a lot. Covered This Episode: Avengers…
Timelines are confusing. So is having multiple characters with the same name. Luckily, Ed Brisson is here to clean everything up. I’m sure after this the X-Men will no longer be confusing. Also this was recorded before X-Force was announced so be happy we talked about them as much as we did! Check out the Battle of…
College is a time for growth and good X-Men stories. That’s what we got today.

The Marvel Wikia describes Jordan D White as “a panhandler in New York City”. I describe him to my uninterested co-workers as the guy in charge of X-Men, which frankly, is a more relevant description. We talk about some of the big, upcoming changes in the world of X-Men, how to best structure a line,…
