Get ready for the Age Of Apocalypse! Nico & TK take a detour into the most famous X-Men AU of all time featuring (mostly only slightly) twisted versions of your favorite characters, the triumph of Apocalypse, and the redemption of Magneto! Join the team as they explore the titles through the Epic Collection Books, putting the narrative in continuity order – Book One features X-Men Chronicles 1 - 2, X-Man #-1 & Annual '96, Tales from The Age of Apocalypse: By the Light, Tales from The Age of Apocalypse: Sinister Bloodlines, & Blink 1 - 4. It’s all this and more on an all new X Is For Comics: An X-Men Podcast!

Get ready for X-Men ‘98 - the relaunch that brought everyone home! After years, Kitty, Nightcrawler, Colossus, & Gambit – plus even Charles Xavier himself – return to the X-Men, alongside Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, & Marrow for an era that sets the stage for some of the most major changes in the history of the X-Men! Get ready for The Twelve, New X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, and more with the 1998 relaunch that made it all possible. First up, Nico & TK talk about the kickoff event with Uncanny X-Men 360-361 & X-Men 80-81, which brings the team home (plus X-Men Unlimited 21 featuring Strong Guy, Beast, Multiple Man, and more). 

Then, start The Hunt For Xavier, a six-part arc running through Uncanny X-Men 362-364 & X-Men 82-84 (42:10), which reintroduces The Brotherhood, repowers Xavier, and delivers a powerful new villain in…CEREBRO!? Finish things off (58:15) with X-Men & Doctor Doom Annual 1998 (featuring a shocking Onslaught reveal), Unlimited 22 (an early Brian K Vaughn tale), and Uncanny X-Men 365 (a Colossus/Magik holiday ghost story).

Welcome to All New All Different X Is For Comics: An X-Men Podcast! We've traveled through the X-Men in the 70s, 80s, and the greater Marvel Universe; made stops in DC, and even the Amalgam and crossover universes. And after all those stories, we're ready to return home to the place where it all started: the X-Men comics we love! We're going to jump back into regular coverage of classic X-Men stories, starting with the 1998 relaunch and moving into some of our all time favorite runs, like New X-Men by Morrison, X-Treme X-Men by Claremont, X-Statix by Milligan and Allred, and more. In traditional XI4C fashion, We'll be covering EVERYTHING from these eras, including side trips into titles like Origin, Secret War, and everything relevant to the X-Experience.

But that's not all -- in addition to these bi-weekly episodes, we'll be filling in the space between with a complete read of the original Age Of Apocalypse universe through the Epic Collections, take a complete look at the entire original 2099 line, and still bring you special episodes with news, new titles, and the X-Events affecting mutants now.
