uncanny x-men

This week The Beyonder takes over the whole world - but can that satisfy him? We also have a mixed bag of crossover comics; there's Derek's favorite ever issue of The Incredible Hulk and there's an issue of Daredevil that saw Denny O'Neil quit the book. It's a mess, but is it purposefully recalling the temptation of Christ in the desert?

Next week: the Beyonder tries to understand love. We have some crossover action again, but be aware: there is one crossover comic that is hard to find. It's not on the Marvel Unlimited app because it's Rom: Space Knight, which was a licensed book. But fear not, we have a link to where you can read the issue. 

This week's homework: 
Secret Wars II #4
Alpha Flight #28
Avengers #261
Dazzler #40
Rom #72

That Rom comic can be found right here. And if you like it, be aware that Marvel struck a deal with Hasbro and they will be releasing a Rom omnibus in the future! Look out for it. 

When is a crossover not a crossover? When it happens in only one panel of the comic book in question, I'd say. 

This week we follow the Beyonder to New York City, where he bumbles around and learns to poop. Then we get two fantastic Spider-Man crossover comics and a Fantastic Four issue that is, crossover or not, just kind of bad. 

Next week: the Beyonder takes over the world! Here's your homework:

Secret Wars II #3
Avengers #260
Daredevil #223
The Incredible Hulk #312

This week we're doing a big pivot. Now that Secret Invasion has finished we have decided to not return to X-Men: The Animated Series just yet. Instead we're going to spend the next few weeks reading Secret Wars II and all of the associate crossovers. Yes, it's a trip back to 1985 to talk about the granddaddy of all crossover event series. Secret Wars II is weird and shaggy and an awful lot of fun, even if it isn't exactly one of the great comic book storylines.

This week we cover:
Secret Wars II #1
New Mutants #30
Captain America #308
Uncanny X-Men #196
Iron Man #197
All of these are available on Marvel Unlimited with a subscription.

These crossovers really run the gamut from making Secret Wars II the main focus to almost totally ignoring the events of the comic. And they run the gamut from great to kind of dull, and also Kitty Pryde says the N word. Seriously.

Thanks for listening! Join the Patreon at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha to get access to our Discord; at the $5 level you'll get our Watch Men podcast - this month we will have two episodes, one about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and one about Blue Beetle. Don't miss them!

Do you like the X-Men? Do you like when professional sports teams draft new players? Well this is the episode for you.

A few weeks ago we gushed about the X-Men that were, but there were some really rocky times post-2000. The Fall of the Mutants is a classic X-Men crossover, but watching it happen in real time wasn't nearly as enjoyable. Let's talk about it.

The time has come for the long-anticipated, overwhelmingly-demanded, hotly-solicited return of X-Men minisodes. Basically, we didn't have any ideas for a minisode this week so instead Monte is talking about X-Men.

The stories discussed in this minisode are:
New X-Men (2001) #114-116 "E is for Extinction" by Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely
X-Treme X-Men (2001) #1-3 "Now, It Begins" by Chris Claremont & Salvador Larroca
Uncanny X-Men (1963) #394 "Playing God" by Joe Casey & Ian Churchill

Next week we will all be back in a regular episode talking about Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #1-6 with first-time guest Ben from Not a Hoax! Not a Dream! podcast. Melissa and Monte appeared on Not a Hoax! Not a Dream! to talk about Jean Grey. Give that episode a listen here and be sure to check out the rest of Ben's episodes as well.

Monte's theme this season is best-selling superhero comics of all time. Veronica's theme is stories from the DC Young Adults graphic novel imprint.

What’s up, dudes? The Caped Podcasters themselves join me to talk 1981’s Uncanny X-Men #143 by Chris Claremont and John Byrne! Mistletoe and N’Garai! Hat could possibly go wrong?! Maybe it’s an “Alien” rip-off or maybe it’s just an exercise by the writers to see how far they can push it! Either way, it’s got tons of exposition! Check it out

Check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com! Later, dudes!

Legend states that every nine weeks (or so), eight comic books face off in a vicious one-on-one tournament to determine the best among them. The comic that comes out on top earns the right to say that Monte, Melissa, and Veronica laud and venerate that comic, for all of time. It is the greatest (meaningless) honor that can ever be bestowed on a humble comic book. Please listen, to see which comic from Season 4 acquires this great and terrible blessing... and curse.

Monte's theme for this season was Magneto. Veronica's theme was teenage superheroes.

Next week we will be posting our collaborative episode with The Colored Pages Book Club podcasters, Marci and Ako. Please check out their podcast and social media. We will be discussing Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Full Moon, an omnibus collection containing issues #13-24.

The week after that begins Season 5, in which Monte's theme is cult classic comics adapted to the screen, and Veronica's theme is Detectives and Mysteries. We'll be starting off with The Walking Dead.

Magneto's just, like, really complex, you know? No one understands him. He doesn't even understand himSELF, man. He's just too complicated for that. I mean, look at everything he's been through!

Check out the beautiful, well-crafted, subtle... or, um, SUBDUED story of Magneto: Infamous (with background reading of Uncanny X-Men Vol 3, issue #16), where we follow Magneto on the bloody trail of a serial mutant killer. Which is bad enough, but is it actually even worse?

Veronica's theme for this season is teenage superheroes. Monte's theme is Magneto stories.

Next week we will be reading Ms. Marvel, vol. 3, #1-5. Please read along!

If you remember one thing about Magneto...

Magneto's working with the X-Men, Joseph and Astra are back, Cyclops is wearing cargo shorts--anything can happen in Magneto: Not A Hero,  other than Magneto failing to BRING. THE. DRAMA!

Veronica's theme for this season is teenage superheroes. Monte's theme is Magneto stories.

Next week we will be reading Runaways, issues #1-6. We'd love for you to read along with us.

In 1962, in AMAZING FANTASY #15, 15-year-old Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and became the Amazing Spider-Man! Fifty-seven years have passed in the real world since that event - so what would have happened if the same amount of time passed for Peter as well?

Trending Now: Podcastception! Wolverine: The Long Night, an adaptation of their popular podcast series, hit the stands last week and Marvel has said this is only the beginning of a bigger podcast-verse. What’s the endgame here? Does the audio-first format translate well to comics? Vice versa?
