House of X Book Club

Back in the day, we got together and read and talked about comic books, mainly the X-Men. Decades later, and not a lot has changed. We started at the very beginning, and are working our way through the X-Men from number one!

Here comes another great episode of your favorite grumpy old folks, and Drew too!

Today we dig in on something new, and something mutated. That's right, it's New Mutants (Marvel Graphic Novel Number 4) time! This one has everything! Cannonballs, Sunspots, Karmas, Wolvesbanes, and all the rest of the crew. Crack that book and listen in to what we love and hate. I hear it's a pretty think line between those two...

Welcome Home Merry Mutant Lovers! We have a banger for a today! Uncle Chris recruits his editor's husband (nepotism much, Mr. Claremont?) To draw a book that crosses over two of the biggest teams at the time! For Episode 103, we give you: X-Men and New Teen Titans! There is so much Jack Kirby love in this book you can practically hear him calling Stan Lee a prick while chomping his cigar and punching a Nazi! The Phoenix is back, an...

Man, how about episode 100 y'all? Both of them! We dug deep into Wolverine's head, and don't remember a thing. Which is good because neither does he!

BUT! We are on to other things, namely More Uncanny goodness. First up is X-Men 161. Magneto and Professor X steal a time machine from Doc Brown and travel back in time to punch Nazis! Well, maybe this is just a flashback/retcon/ filler issue! But still Nazi punching is happening! How...

The title says it all today kids! It's Episode 100! Featuring Claremont, Miller, Wolverine, and a bear that sometimes looks like a dog! We recorded this one live at Sword and Board in Ukiah, or as we like to call it, Mendo East. It was fun, it was exciting, it was the best there is at what it does!

In this weeks' episode of the House of X Book Club, we jump into some action packed action of the highest order! 

   First off, we get into X-Men 158, where Carol Danvers kick the leg out of the leg of all of the Starjammers! Then she, Wolverine, and Storm break into the Pentagon to steal the Declaration of Independence! No! They break in so they can erase the X-Men from the government databanks! But they run into trouble as some o...

Did you know that there was once a superhero named The Red Bee and he fought Nazis using bees? I feel like the beekeepers of the world need to step up and give us some mighty bee justice in modern times!

Welcome back Blue Retrievers, for another very special episode of the HoXBC pod! Why is it special you may ask? Because we are doing another Documentary review! We got together live and in the flesh baby, and decided to talk about the documentary from the DVD release of the X-Men movie The Last Stand! This was arguably better than X3, so hop on the joy bus and don't forget your ticket!

Another week, another episode of the House of X Book Club killing you hearing if you listen at high decibels. Fun fact, Drew laughs all the way through every episode, but it is so high pitched only dogs and xenomorphs can hear it. 

Anyway, we have a couple of great books for you this week!

First up we dive into X-Men 151. In typical 80s fashion, Kitty's parents decide that she will no longer be attending Chucks school. and will ins...
