Escape the Mojoverse: An X-Men Comics Podcast

Another month another deluge of X-Men comics. This month saw a really strong showing across the brand and was notable for the end of two of the best books of the line--NYX by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing “The Hivemind” and Francesco Mortarino and X-Force by Geoffrey Thorne and Marcus To. Matt--who is writing-- is too sad to put a pithy joke here.

This week, one of the most daring books of the X-Line came to an end: NYX written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly.

This week we talk Deadpool vs Miles Morales. Two legacy characters that should shoulder the narrative focus for Marvel in the next few decades. Also, Wade Wilson is there! Listen as we implore Marvel to spend less money on movies, talk balancing dumb jokes, and do the dumbest version of Allison's long-running game ever.Deadpool Vol 10 and Spider-Man: Miles Morales are both written by Cody ZiglarDeadpool 10 and 13 Art by Roge Antonio Colored by Guru Efx, Lettered by Vc's Joe Sabino, Covers by Taurin ClarkDeadpool 11 and 12 Art by Andrea DI VitoSpider-Man: Miles Morales 30-31 Art by Luigi Zagaria, Colored by Bryan Valenza, Lettered by Vc Cory Petit.

We're really stretching that "X-Men Comics" part of the title to its limit this week, but honestly, the Scarlet Witch has been quietly one of the most consistent titles that Marvel publishes and she's certainly X-adjacent. We read the whole of Steve Orlando's Scarlet Witch in preparation for next month's Scarlet Witch and the Vision.Scarlet Witch Vol 3, Vol 4, Scarlet Witch Annual, and Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver Written by Steve Orlando with Cover art by Russell DautermanArt by Sara Pichelli, Russell Dauterman, Lorenzo Tammetta, and Jacopo Camagni, Colors by Matthew Willson and Frank William, Letters by Vc's Cory Petit and Ariana MaherIf you have a comment or question, you can email us @ Mojoversepod@gmail.com Logo by Emily Kardamis who can be found on Instagram @corruptedgem or on Patreon at Patreon.com/corruptedgemOur theme song is by Megan Lenius.

A few weeks ago on the podcast, Matt was coerced to admit he doesn't like Gambit. This week, we call upon TikTok and YouTube star Nikhil Clayton (a noted Gambit superfan) to see if we can't convince him otherwise. We talk Gambit's first solo foray, learn about the thieves and assassins guilds, and ask why Gambit was picking that lock if he was just going to blow it up.Gambit Vol. 1 is written by Howard Mackie with pencils by Lee Weeks, Inks by Klaus Janson, Colored by Steve Buccellato, and lettered by Richard StarkingsNikhil Clayton can be found here or his youtube page here.
