It's New Year, New Episode! We had some audio issues with the first upload. They were minor, but they bugged me enough that I had to go back and fix them so I could sleep tonight! Those X-Men fever dreams when you are prepping to record the next episode can be weird! Sweaty night terrors aside, we have some great stuff going on today in  the form of X-Men 45 and Avengers 53!

First off we dive in to X-Men 41 and it's sequel, X-Men number 42, Electric Boogaloo! Our heroes face off against Grotesk, a sort of Dollar Store version of Frankenstein who lives underground with all the other C.H.U.D.S. in New York.

Today on the House of X we experience some type 2 nonsense! An no amount of Metformin will ever decrease the levels! In our first issue we explore X-Men 40 where those lanky teens battle Frankenstein! Or at least a reasonable robot facsimile!

 In the nameless episode of the House of X Book Club, we read two real barn burning books, X-Men 36 & 37! First in number 36,  Mekano gets mad! At Books and Words and other mad making things! He hates the written word almost as much as his father, who very much likes the written word! That dastardly man! And in X-Men 37, the team falls out of a plane! After they rip the door off of course! Lik...

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the House of X Book Club! Today we get a double dose of X-Men, with a side of Spider-Man! In X-Men 34, the X-Men travel underground once again to battle Mole Man and Tyrranus!

In this episode, Rob talks about his love for the Taco Bell dollar menu, his favorite spot to read (hint, it's not the bathroom!), and why the Ronco Pocket Fisherman is the best invention in the history of mankind!

Welcome back book clubbers! We are so glad you come here to club books and not the Antarctic to do the same to baby seals! Boy do we have a treat for you today. Not ice cream, you only get that after you visit the Professor X basement lair! It's a double shot of Juggernaut.

In this issue Bobby fig...

In this pulse pounding premiere, they dynamic duo of Shane and Drew go a few rounds about how awesome Drew is! We lean his favorite food, his love for Batman, and why he is so mean to Rob!

Nobody wears black eyeliner though, so that is a little disappoint...

In Episode 15 the HoXBC compare Millennium Falcons! And then they talk about X-Men 25 and 26. Cerebro works it non-mutant mutant detecting magic, a man becomes a god, and then gets Jaundice! Or maybe the coloring technology wasn't as good back in the day, I can't remember! We are still very much in the era of every sentence ending with an exclamation point though, so even when characters whisper,...

In another exciting episode of the pod, we dive into another couple of interesting issues! Frist we read X-Men number 24, featuring the crafty and conniving Locust! Otherwise known as Doctor Hopper, who perhaps had a villainous moniker a little too on the nose.  The first part of an exciting (???) Locust thrillogy! It does span a few years so buckle up!  In our second issue, we dive into Daredevil...
