It’s a cool kid club party! We got the NYX crew – Kamala, Victor, David, Laura, & more – AND the Sinister Sons PLUS Jubilee leading the bamf squad of Marvel Zero. The team kicks off with a question of reprints and collections, considering Marvel Zero, seeing the reprints of Free Comic Book Day 2024: Blood Hunt/X-Men #1 & Ultimate Universe/Spider-Man #1 before turning our attention to the very different young adult titles of the launch of NYX & the finale of Sinister Sons – which each ask the audience to engage with the idea of aging in their respective universes very differently!

It’s a big day for the long-in-waiting Women of Marvel! Up first, Action Team fav Elektra makes her solo title debut as Daredevil. She’s been in Elektra as Elektra, she’s been in Daredevil and minis as Daredevil, but now finally Ms. Nachios if you’re nasty steps into the cowl in an ongoing title as Daredevil: The Woman Without Fear kicks off! Then, she’s been Jean Grey in her own solo title (kinda), she’s been Phoenix in every title (and like, so has everyone else at this point) but Mrs. Summers, Mrs. Howlett if you’re cool, and just Jean if you’re her good Judy, is Phoenix in a solo title.

It’s the Action Pack back again with another exciting twofer. Both Marvel and DC are in major refocusing places, where everything from what a crossover is what a single issue truly represents is up for debate and the two companies are examining multiple avenues – which leads to some expected and then unexpected expected places. From The Ashes FINALLY begins – this was a slow burn for sure. The Action Pack examines the debut of the new X-Men era with X-Men #1 and then DC introduces a new Lantern - SORROW LANTERNS?!

X-Men ‘97 has stirred up the best of 90s comics nostalgia for so many of us – and that brings the Action Pack to a favorite topic – the legendary Marvel vs DC match-up from the 1990s!

It’s another killer ep bringing together two great or noteable issues from the Big Two by your two fav comics gaybros - Nico & TK! First off, Nico’s mic did a thing – sorry for the weird audio. But the bigger thing? This is what happens when you let the books guide you – instead of the original plan of discussing Batman with #150 and discussing Wolverine: Deep Cut, the team read and vibed, and the clear winners were Blood Hunt: Psylocke & Absolute Power #1!

It seemed impossible, then like a dream – Disney+ brought X-Men: The Animated Series back! And then it was a mature, adult, considered, thoughtful experiment that sometimes missed the mark completely - BUT far more often, accomplished what seemed like the impossible: capture the spirit of the best of the X-Men. And now, after the three-part finale, “Tolerance Is Extinction,” the Action Pack examines the stories we saw (& the ones they were based on), the characters (& their comics, movies, and other version counterparts), and far more as we think about the future of the franchise and what may be X-Men ‘98!

Comics LOVE magical girls – and Marvel & DC are NO different. In one corner, Illyana is recovering from the loss of Krakoa and the great age of mutants while fighting against the dark age of vampires in the crossover highlight (for most of the team) of this summer’s blood-and-money-sucking event X-Men: Blood Hunt - Magik #1. Then, journey to DC with Nico for more of the exciting Reducation of TK Hill & episode-guest, Jonah, as they find what makes Zatanna so damn magical in the new DC Black Label miniseries premiere of Zatanna: Bring Down The House!

It’s the penultimate episode of X-Men ‘97 before we go into the three part finale! Or was this maybe the first episode of a four part finale? Heroes are tested and villains revealed. Plus if you recognized the references from Grant Morrison’s New X-Men in X-Men ‘97’s destruction of Genosha and wondered where the villain got to, we found Cassandra Nova! She’s in Deadpool & Wolverine. We’ll talk about the awesome new trailer and its fantastic branding. Ready, Action Pack? LFG! All this and more on an all new X Is For Show!

What do you do when a long-running comic universe ends and years later, fans long for it? Revisit. Return. Resurrect. And so often, these can be cash grabs. But in these two cases, Ultimate Spider-Man and John Constantine: Hellblazer, the attempt to carry on these legacies is full of nuance, informed by years of storytelling from predecessors, contemporaries, and bold ideasmiths. Join Nico, TK, and guest Jake as they examine Jon Hickman’s reimagined Ultimate Universe before turning a pessimistic, dark eye towards Constantine (an incredible book – just John is a big ol wanker).

X-Men ‘97 continues its streak of taking on the big X-comics storylines, this time rounding out its adaptation of the iconic Storm story Lifedeath with some choice re-workings of a few early 90’s issues of Uncanny X-Men. While, sadly, we didn’t get any Swedish europop added to the soundtrack this time around, there were still some excellent cameos, and even another magical girl transformation. As we move to the endgame of the first season, we’ll talk about what we loved, what we didn’t and what we’re excited about going forward.

For a Giant-Size issue, the guys need a Giant-Size Guest-Star, and there’s no bigger XI4P DD GS for GSDD on XI4P than Tori!

The X-Men are good at fighting and winning and fashion and reboots – but also sex. The X-Men are real real good at sexy sexy times. And when it comes – ugh, came – to the Krakoan era, the X-Men celebrated the idea of romance, sex, and beginning new relationships like never before. The liaisons ranged from the boring and predictable (Scott & Jean) to the exciting (Scott & Jean…& Logan?) to the cringe-worthiest (Logan & that f&%$!ng surfer girl…debacle), but also TONS of people who aren’t these three people. There’s tons of love, lust, and probably lots of licking to celebrate in the X-Men as the Krakoan era cracks apart, so come on down to Love Isla – I mean Temptation Isl – Krakoa for some HOT X-MEN and tier the romance hotness!

It’s hard saying goodbye to five years of storytelling we all became so attached to but somehow, the era that started our modern coverage has come to an end, and now Nico & TK must say goodbye. X-Men #700 or #35 or whatever isn’t really the goodbye the team hoped for and leads to a twisting, complex discussion with a lot of complicated feelings and a lot of questions. Then, with the new Marvel/DC format, the duo discuss DC with The Boy Wonder #2 (and the first issue, too), where they discuss the effort it can (or not!) take to cross between companies when you lack the experience and history, and how in the case of the Bat titles, right now, it doesn’t seem too hard to jump on!

X-Men ‘97 is taking big swings, big chances, and adapting some big stories. This week featured part Hellfire Gala, part Krakoa/Genosha, part E Is For Extinction genocide event, and then a huge helping of new, wild ideas to challenge the status quo of the X-Men. Also, Ace Of Base? But beyond these core elements, there’s a ton of crazy cameos, some shocking character deaths, and over all, a few too many ideas for one regular length episode of X-Men!

Nico & TK continue their examination of Marvel & DC with the end of one mini and the beginning of another. The X-Men’s Krakoan era comes to an at times awkward, but very well-intentioned finale with Rise Of The Powers Of X #5, seeing Jean rise up against the dark specter of Mister Sinister, marching the mutants towards their From The Ashes reboot. Then, Nico takes TK somewhere he’s never been – BATMAN! The two dive into Batman: The Dark Age, a Mike Allred/Mark Russell reimagining of Batman.

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve checked in with the end of the Krakoan Era. We’ll see if time and a little distance has given any new perspective as we check out the latest issues of X-Men, Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Power of X. And of course it’s Wednesday so we have to talk about this week’s X-Men ‘97!
