The lads throw tradition to the wind by taking an in-depth look at a comic currently hitting shelves every other week: Brian Michael Bendis’ X-Men. Following his 8-year Avengers run, Bendis took a quick trip to 1964, picked up a few passengers, and showed up for All-New X-Men #1 with the original five Xavier students (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, and Angel) in tow. This juxtaposition kicks off his X-Men tenure and is the gift that keeps on giving, both in terms of story momentum and reader guessing. See what side of the issues raised the hosts fall on in this sprawling free-form discussion of both All-New and Uncanny X-men up through Battle of the Atom, where the Marvel Mutantverse finds itself decades after the foundational Claremont issues, and how good a pair of hands it finds itself in with Bendis.
