Ranking every X-Men story from A to Z. Hosted by Zack Jenkins and Adam Reck.
We don’t have a friend or a guest named Kevin in this one. But we do have Christmas stories of VARIOUS quality. Someone help us escape from the holiday hellscape we have created for ourselves. Ranked This Episode:
Guess who had to resist screeching the entire episode? Hint: it’s the host who, for reasons unknown to himself, spends a shocking amount of this episode defending PAD X-Factor, a run he doesn’t really like all that much. People are complicated… Ranked This Episode:
For legal reasons, the hosts of Battle Of The Atom need to affirm that we explicitly do not endorse murder as defined in 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111 and 1112. 18 U.S.C. § 1111.
