Christian Frost! Emma Frost's gay older brother came out in a time when queer storytelling was very different, and it is only through recent writers that we've seen his potential explored. Featuring my guests Anthony Edward Laudini and Mike Ciriaco!

We first meet Wolverine in a massive battle with the Hulk. But what if that had gone differently? Journey with Chad, WolverSteve, Colby Melvin, and Ken Crist into a universe where things go hilariously different!

Two powerful female villains featured with their creators! First it is Radha Dastoor: Haven, a complex super-villain from X-Factor, created by JM DeMatteis! Then it's Astrid Bloom, a rival of Emma Frost, created by Karl Bollers! Anas Abdulhak and Taylor Vessel join Chad for these interviews!

In Incredible Hulk 181, a new character called the Wolverine takes center stage, a short Canadian with whiskers and claws, in bright yellow, in between two massive monsters. He has two names... Wolverine... and Weapon X. Paul Jenkins and Erica Schultz join Chad for this epic episode! Then it's a script reading of X-Men Unlimited 11!

Chad is joined by Professor Phillip Smith to talk all about Gabrielle Haller! A concentration camp survivor and the mother of Legion, Gabrielle later launched a long career as an ambassador. Gabrielle is a character connected to both Xavier and Magneto, who has a complex history steeped in trauma and political complications. Trigger warning: this one has significant discussion of topics like sexual trauma and genocide. And note: this episode was recorded in May, 2024, before recent conflicts in Israel and surrounding intensified in August of 2024.

On the final page of Incredible Hulk 180, it's the first appearance of Wolverine! But first, Hulk is drawn into a fight with the Flesh Eater, and inside both monsters is a man! Chad is joined by incredible writers Marc Guggenheim and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, of Wolverine and Hulk fame accordingly!
