ASH &

This year has made some massive changes to the status quo. Brand new guest Caleb (a different one who seems to want all the smoke with the original) comes to talk about whether there's a way back, and what it's worth. 

So we know that dying in Amenth brings you back directed by Christopher Nolan, but what would happen if a real big gun kicked it in the bad place? First time guest Raven joins me to discuss. Also, we get the name of Amenth wrong consistently throughout because of course! X 

We get into it (and I mean REALLY get into it) about the Looks from Marvel that'll be launching this week at the Hellfire Gala. Follow along with the conversation here https://twitter.com/i/events/1399826805381545990?s=20  .If you liked this teaser, join us on the Quiet Council over on Patreon for the full, uncut episode! https://www.patreon.com/xofwords  

If you die in Othwerworld you don't come back the same. Incredible tenanted and occasionally thirsty artist Josh joins me for his first flight on XOW to talk about all the MVP of X of Swords and whether he's going to come back as we knew him....

Second time of Kid Cable appearing here, and we're hitting the timer to discuss whether Kid Cable is actually a super uncool guy on the low. It would explain some...unfortunate recent events imo. Jump in the seat with me and brand new guest Arturo to get all the deets! 

So, you've just spent about ten thousand years in a crazed mechanical city full of iPhone people who want to spin your wig 180 degrees. How do you change? How do you manage your facial hair? How do you stay in love with angry skewer lady?  Welcome a brand new guest, GAVIN (@invisiblelad007) to discuss

Ya'll wanna meet someone new! This week we welcome Caleb, who hits the timer on what we think the biggest threats to Krakoa and mutant-kind are, both on the panel and off it. Def one to catch as we move into a whole new era. 

Whew CHILE. This one's serious. Bradley and I sit down to talk about the inspiration behind their iconic original Hellfire looks. As always there's gotta be an X somewhere, so there are 10 looks to discuss. You can find the Twitter moment containing the looks discussed during this episode below, so come join!!! https://twitter.com/i/moments/1383435122322542609

SURPRISE! The new team's been announced so @Theantibinge and I figured we'd compare notes on who should be leading it, considering there's a fuckload of veterans on the roster! Check it out! 

ANNOUNCING A BRAND NEW GUEST! We welcome Tevin (@Blckbolex) into the halls of XOW with a blazing first episode about the hiccups and hypocrisies that led to Madelyne Pryor being barred from the mutant paradise? 

Robbie, author of the Anole-focused Marvel novel 'First Team' hits the timer with me to chat what we want for the future, unsettling palm size differences and the final verdict on Buff Anole! Check it out!

BLINDFOLD EP: Steve hits the hot-chair to spend ten minutes and ten minutes only to answer a question neither of us could prepare for. Check in to see how we do, and who we think would be the perfect nemesis for Storm!    It's one of the best yet!

There are many threats to the new nation for mutants, some of which are within the stories, and some of which govern them. Wes and I give ourselves 10 whole minutes to tackle the question and somehow end up talking about...Spider-Man??? Hit play to hear our answers! 

It's a brand new world, so who should get the spotlight? Jake joins me to burn our ten minutes deciding who would want to see next.. 

Mutants in the future are pretty liberal with the gene-splicing, so brand new guest @latinkrakoan and I give ourselves ten good christian minutes to decide whether we, proud mutant parents, would alter our child for the good of the species. Yes, OUR child...you heard me! 

We've voted for new members, we've voted to make a mutant, but now we ask which ENTIRE team we'd declare the next X-Men if we got the chance.

This is it, the debate between the two titans of the XMenVote season (#VoteSunspot & #VoteTempo). You've seen it on the TL, but you NEED to hear it live. We got laughs, drags, stand-offs and one impartial voter to convince! 

There are laws on Krakoa to stop you from really fucking up, but on an island with no money, no property and no death, what should mutants do with people who are flouting the rules in other ways. @KeenanLance_ hits the guest seat for the first time to share some laughs and some fresh ideas. 

Arny's BACK! He joins me for the first of a brand new thing. Usually the quest picks the question, but this time we've left that up to random senseless chance. Expect spontaneity and some laughs through the future of mutants. 

Things have changed for mutants a lot. Michael and I look at their long history, their present, and chat about who we'd pick as their leader. Hit play!!

They're coming, they're coming, but who are they? What are they? why do they have so many pouches. All these questions and more, hit the link and start your timers!

We're doing a double feature. Kris is back in the hot seat to discuss the real breakout stars of the new mutant dawn. We're putting the crown on the head folks. Start your timers! 

How do you solve a problem like Wanda? She's been the cause of the extinction that the mutants have now resisted, and old wounds are hard to forget. But with all the new eras and absolution going around, Kris and I talk about the status and the position of The Pretender. 

New Year, new season, new guest, same great vibes and bitesize episodes! For our first episode we've taken a question for a listener and started the timer! Hit play and join us. 

Welcome to the FINAL EPISODE OF THE SEASON, and the final episode of the year. We reflect on the first event in the new mutant  era of mutants by picking our favourite part. Michael knocks this one out of the park!    Happy New Year y'all, and thanks for listening!
