Episode 31: House of X #2 (2019) - Part 3 of our PHOX Event coverage

This issue of House of X totally rocked our worlds, as well as the world of the X-Men. I haven't reacted to a book like I reacted to this one in a very long time. If you haven't read it, go read it now on Marvel Unlimited before listening to the episode if you don't want to experience spoilers on a multiversal scale. I have a seen Moira MacTaggert   pop up in various spots in X-Men storylines, so I knew she was significant, but in House of X #2, she becomes one of, if not the most significant being in the Marvel universe. This is a book that needs to be read. I have read it 4 or 5 times now and every time I find something new to love. (kind of like how I find a new layer of awesomeness every time I watch Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan ) I don't want to give away too much with this blog post in case you haven't read or listened to the episode yet. Just trust me, this is one for the record books. And make sure to listen to the episode to find out how

Episode 30: Powers of X #1 (2019) - Part 2 of our PHOX Event coverage.

We are dropped right in the action in Powers of X #1, which, despite its #1 description, is actually the continuation of the story which began in House of X #1. We are quick to learn where the name Powers of X (10) comes from. Right on the first page we are introduced to 4 different moments in time: Year 0, Year 10, Year 100, and Year 1000. It will take many more books to actually figure out what the significance of each event is, but it will all be worth it, trust me! If you are just jumping in here, we encourage you to go back one episode and start with Episode 29, which begins the entire arc. We also highly encourage you to check out each of the issues yourself. These 12 issues weave in and out of each other and are well worth the reading time! The easiest way to find them is probably Marvel Unlimited . But I bet you can also find floppies (paper copies) at your local comic shop , and it is well worth the investment! We really hope you are reading along with
