Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this episode, we finish off the battle royal as we leave this disappointing part of Empyre behind, before heading over to X-Men which is a much for interesting event tie in.

NEXT EPISODE: X-Factor (2020) #2 & Marauders #11-12

Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this episode, we see what the mutants were up to during Empyre and if you guessed, uh, mutants fighting the Cotati, Hordeculture, and mutant zombies brought back to life by the Scarlet Witch well you would be correct. How did you guess that?

Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this episode, we head back to Krakoa after our quick stop at Empyre to discuss Cable's having his case derailed by a bunch of Space Knights showing up. We also get to meet everyone's favorite character Deadpool for the first time. We wrap things up by heading over to X-Men where we get the first Empyre crossover and we try to figure out what Vulcan's whole deal is.

NEXT EPISODE: Empyre: X-Men #1-3

Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this bonus episode, we take a break from X-Men to talk about Empyre. We discuss a marriage between two of Marvel’s biggest LGBT characters, and if the secret to being a good king means being able to correctly navigate what is basically a galactic scale version of the trolly problem. We also realize that Ben Grimm might be the best.

NEXT EPISODE: Cable (2019) #3-4 & X-Men (2019) #10

Welcome to the Study, listeners! In this episode, we meet a new team of mutants in X-Factor and we touch on how LGBT heavy this new team as well as the book exploring cultural aspects of Krakoa in a way where that we haven't seen before. We then jump into a Magneto story where he fights a sea monster with Namor with some gorgeous looking art, before heading back to Cable where we discuss Scott eating a Philly Cheesesteak.
