Episode 40: From the Ashes Month 9! X-Manhunt and all the other X-Men comics of March 2025

Season 1, Ep. 40

What a breeze! Only a paltry 18 X-Men comics in March. This month saw the second crossover of the X-Men from the Ashes era. Storm goes Dark Phoenix, Scott gets punched, frozen, and stabbed, and Charles tells his kids to try the soup!

Matt does a bit about the soup Charles mentions in X-Manhunt Omega that ends at 4:31 or you can find the recipe for Humarsupa here!
