There's truly something Sinister throughout this week's episode. That cape steals the show along with Xavier's heavy John Hammond vibes. We've got no more year 100 story, and we can really start to seer-selves understanding year 1000 - a wordy and somewhat difficult to understand reference. Topical! Thanks for listening to our eighth episode! This episode covers issue 8 of a 12 issue story. Like,...

Magneto meets with Charles and Moira. Mystique returns. The team on Asteroid K. Nimrod! AND the Phalanx!? We needed to call in some extra Cerebro brain strength to work through this one friends. Thanks for listening to our fourth...

Oh, the life and times of Moira MacTaggert. What? You don't know who Moira is? I mean, she's been in movies. The smart human lady. A mutant geneticist who's occasionally in the background of the comics, most recently having interrupted Charles' birds knowing an unsettling amount of information. I genuinely don't know how to tease this issue without giving anything away, so just enjoy. It's a Wedne...

Get your math out of my comics, we're taking this story to the next power! Told with four narrative threads all happening in different years, Powers of X #1 takes ALL the new stuff that was introduced in House of X #1 and expands on it in a new way - at a new time? Year 1.
