House of X Book Club

Another Saturday, and another episode of The House of X Book Club arrives! This week is very special, as the gang is mostly together live and in person! And we have another watch along we hope you will join us for!

   Today, we are watching the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends episode titled The X-Men Adventure! It features the X-Men! Some of the voice cast are interesting choices, but at least they are able to make it clear that...

X-Men in Space! It doesn't have quite the ring that Pigs does, but we make due with what we have, because what we have is still really cool!

   We have a great double header for you! First up, we dive into the space faring adventures of our beloved X-Men. In number 157, Kitty tries on more outfits than Wolverine has back hairs! Also, Scott and Corsair join the rest of the Starjammers in repairing the Starjammer. Also Professor X Pr...

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!

   We have another great show for you! Two great X-Books in one great pod! First up is Uncanny X-Men 155. Guest starring Tigra! And the Brood! Corsair is here too, but I don't think anyone on the Quite Council would say he was a gu...

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!

Welcome back Book Clubbers! We hope summer has treated you well. Sorry your trash cans melted again this year Arizona. What is that, like, 147 years in a row now?

We have a great couple of books here for you. First up is Uncanny 153. Kitty Pryde tells a bedtime story to Illyana, so she can go to sleep. This one's got everything: Wolverine as the Tasmanian Devil, Storm trapped in a bottle, Kurt as a cute and cuddly stuffed animal (p...

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...

Welcome in once again Book Clubbers, to another great addition of Bagged and Boarded! This week we sit down with Anthony Trevino, the creative mind behind the longest running wrestling promotion in San Jose, UGWA! We talk about how UGWA got started, how it moved from the backyard to the Ritz, and how the X-Men influenced it all! Video Games, Comic Boos, Pro Wrestling and Famke Janssen, what more could you ask for?

Welcome back, Children of Krakoa, as we dig into another two exciting books about those Men (and Women) of X!

   First up, Uncanny X-Men Annual #5. We start out with the Fantastic Four checking into a lady with a laser gun, and things get weird from there. You've got your invisible aliens, Invisible Girls, and Storm having dreams of interdimensional Civil War. And then the sixth page really gets cooking! This one packs it in so str...

Welcome back kids! Are you having fun? Is the season of the year when you are listening to this giving you weather to your liking? Is the upcoming/recently occurred holiday going to be a good time? How about that sports team that just did a thing?!?

We have another banger of an ep for ya! First up Bizarre Adventures #27. Where we read the first and last stories, but skip Iceman, because, why wouldn't you? Jean Grey and Nightcrawler...

Did you know that dogs fart almost 20 times a day? And cats? Once or twice. So that smell in your bedroom? NOT THE CAT!!! So stop blaming them! 

Welcome home sweet students of X, we missed you. We really did. But, we shall forgive your wanderings and even reward you with a pair of X-Issues that will make your return all the more sweet!

First up, we have Uncanny X-Men 148. Storm, Stevie, and Spider-Woman take Kitty to a strip club, ...

Welcome in Blue Retrievers, we hope you brought your imago-spheres! Because today we want to take you on a special trip! No, not to the back room at Mr. Horton's bicycle shop, but to a world where Jean Grey did not die!

First up in What If 27, we talk about just that. Although technically Jean Grey does die, and then the Phoenix wears her meat sack around and CONTINUES TO COMMIT HORRIBLE ACTS OF TERROR!!! And she gets more time wit...

Man, I don't know about you, but when the summer months hit, all I want to do is sit around in my underpants and read comics. Unfortunately, my HR manager and I had to have a talk after that happened. So now I am on a "Written Warning". I tried to tell them I could not read, but the comics gave me away! Uptight co-workers!

Anyway, we have a pair of bangers for ya, as we first dive into Spider Woman #38. And this one is a literal ba...

All right Blue Retrievers, this one is going to be quick and dirty. We decided to play to Roger's strengths!

First up we have what may be the darkest issue of the X-Men to date, as we start with X-Men 144. This one has lots of trigger warnings about terminal illness, as well as decisions one make in times of desperation. Please be warned that this issue contains a good deal of mature subject matter, so make sure you check this one ...

It's the 5th of July. The bald eagles have been shot at with fireworks, giving them babies to shoot fireworks at next year. At least that is my understanding of how the 'Murican traditions work. Hopefully everyone has all their fingers and toes on this the spookiest day of summer, the 5th of JULY!!!

But not all is covered in gunpower and cheap beer, our X-Men are covered in spider webs and demon goo! So clearly they are much better...

Welcome home True Believers! We have some amazing stuff for you! Get your toes in a pre-curled position, and let's dig into some delicious X-Goodness!

First up we have X-Men 142, where The Days of Future Past story concludes. This story has been told a thousand times since, but this is the first, and dare I say, best?!?

Next up is Dazzler number one! Shall we say a palette cleanser from the darkens of those Future Days of the Past?...

Welcome home Book Clubbers! We have some hot steamy X-Goodness for you, plated up and ready to serve. Shall we dive in? 

First up we have Marvel Team Up 100, where the phrase "Quality is Our Only Compromise" originated. BUT, it is also the first appearance of the mutant who will become known as Karma, so we at least got that. 

And in a complete 180 from that comic, we jump right in to X-Men 141, the penultimate chapter of Days of F...

Welcome back Book Clubbers! And welcome in anyone who is new to the show! We hope you have enjoyed the journey so far, and are looking forward to the things to come. We have a dynamite duo of digests for you this week, so let's jump in!

First up, X-Men 139! Wolverine decides to cut the Canadian Government off at the pass and head up there before they come after him for the seventeenth time in five issues. He and Nightcrawler take o...

Once again Blue Retrievers, we dive into all things X! In fact we have a double dose once again! So let's get right to it!

First up we have X-Men 138, the book that answers the question, "What if the X-Men were a 70's sitcom, but everyone was sad?" I bet you didn't know anyone ever asked that question did you? Well Messiers Claremont and Byrne did, and now they're pushing it on us! Oh, and Cyclops quits the team. 

Next is X-Men Ann...

   Once again HoXBCers, we come to you with a message of joy. no Hope! NO! Grease! It's the word that you heard, don't ya know! Either way we bring you stories of all things X, in a way that makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy on the insides!

   We are deep into Dark Phoenix country in issue 136, and unlike Hunter S Thompson, we can't fend these bats off with a flyswatter and mescaline. But we can pay a visit to Jean's parents, and th...
