Why Did You Make Me Read This?

In this episode, we explore one of the best portrayals of the X-Men ever put to paper. My personal favorite X-Men run begins with a bang (or an optic blast, a diamond skinned punch, an adamantium clawed slash, etc. ) as the OG mutant superheroes pull their team and their school back together to once again protect a world that hates and fears them. If you're looking for peak X-team characterization, look no further than Whedon and Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men. 

Joining me for this episode is fellow comic book junkie, Jalen Rodriguez. We explore not only the contents of this great book and how it highlights the X-Men's strengths, but also our own relationships with the X-Men and how much comic books mean to us. 
He's a great guy and it's a thoughtful and honest conversation about comics.   

Also, if you listen to this podcast while doing the Macarena, you've somehow already mastered the art of time travel. Tell me how you did that. TELL ME.
