On the plus side, this is Alan Davis Otherworld... which is far more whimsical and less up its own butt than anything we see nowadays.

Also: Jesse's in the hot-seat for the dreaded Pod-File! Who would play him in a movie about his life? Hit play and find out today!

Welcome back, friends - to the eXtreme corner of From Claremont to Claremont where Chris (@Charlton_Hero) and I take a look at X-Force! This time out, it's a (literally) sideways two-part crossover with Todd McFarlane's adjectiveless Spider-Man title - in which, well - basically nothing happens, but the Toddster winds up quitting Marvel forever! We'll talk all about that, and a whole lot more in this very episode!

Also: Mr. Bailey sits in for the dread (and x-tended) "Pod-File" segment including the Marvel Bullpen Cool-o-Meter for November, 1991!

Also, Jody sits in for the dreaded "Pod-File" segment, wherein I ask him all of the nutty questions Marvel Staffers used to be asked in the "Pro-File" section of the Bullpen Bulletins of Marvel Comics back in the long ago! It's a great (and enlightening) chat, and we sure hope you'll join us!

Cover Price: $2.50

In our final segment of From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 1 - I am joined by my friend Adam (@hojokoolander) from Wizards: The Podcast Guide to Comics (@WizardsComics) to discuss all the X-News that was fit to print back in Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (October, 1991).

In it, we'll look at the earliest sales charts for this era of X-Books, as well as some deep-diving on the Price Guide. Most notable about this issue, however, is that it might just have been the first place where X-Fans learned that Chris Claremont was no longer going to be steering the line. It's an awesome little time capsule, and we had a great time chatting it up! We hope you join in on the conversation!

Sooo... is Alpha Flight an X-Book? Well, if you ask my pal Sean (@Sean42AZ) and I, yeah - it totally is!

If only we had a better issue to bring you to kick off our coverage... because, friends - this is a weird, uneven... and mostly "deck-clearing" endeavor to make way for next creative team! We've got a Doctor Strange guest-appearance, lotsa "potty faces" and a highlight in the form of a Diamond Lil subplot being paid off.

Also: Sean shares with us his life and times as a comics and X-Fan - and sits in to rundown the October, 1991 Cool-O-Meter! It's a great time, and I'm looking forward to more! I hope you are as well.

Cover Price: $1.75

And now for something completely different...

While the rest of the X-Family of books was undergoing a somewhat x-treme and hyper-posed makeover - across the pond, Excalibur was just plain weird. With a rogues gallery that included the crazy Technet (including show-favorite Joyboy) and a bird-bomb Henery Hawk knockoff - and mysteries surrounding the interdimensional garbage can that is Widget's dome - this title can't help but to stand out as something special.

For this segment, I am joined by my friend Jesse (@stiznarkey), and we have a really good time x-ploring the other side of the X-Books! Jesse also shares his life and times as an X-Fan! It's a great chat, we hope you'll give us a shot!

All that, and Mr. Bailey shares with us his history as an X-Fan! It's a great time as always, we hope you'll join us!

The Gold Team is up to their shoulders in trouble... but not quite as much as the poor Hellions (RIP in Pieces Beef!).

Billy will also share with us his X-Fan Secret Origin! It's a fun conversation, I hope you'll tune in!

Due to popular demand (of a small handful of folks who expressed interest in listening to From Claremont to Claremont, but without the need to fill up their entire device with a 10-14 hour file), I've decided to keep up with our FCTC Segments -- starting with the big one, the Guinness World Record holding X-Men (vol.2) #1 (October, 1991).

For the new book, I'm joined by my friend Jody Yerdon (@regalfan) to discuss all the goings on in and out of the book. Jody will also share with us his "Secret Origin" both regarding the X-Men and comics in general.

It's a fun conversation... I hope you decide to hop on board the #FCTCXMen train!

Also: I heard from several... a handful... okay, a couple of people, who said they'd like for me to break the previous two episodes of FCTC into individual segments... and so, that will likely begin in the coming weeks! If you haven't heard 'em - they're new to you!

Today, I'm joined by my pal Jesse Starcher (@stiznarkey & @sourcematcast) to discuss a pair of weird offerings from the Excalibur corner of our little X-Universe - Excalibur #45 continues from our Nightcrawler subplot, and the prestige-format Excalibur: Air Apparent is... well, your guess is as good as ours! It's weird, and it's fun to talk about - that much is for sure!

Once that's all out of the way, Jesse will share with us the "Soundtrack of His Life", and it's a wonderful conversation - that we hope you all enjoy! Please send us YOUR picks for your own "Soundtrack of Your Life", we'd love to hear them!

Also, let us know if you're enjoying these FCTC Episodes in "Segment Form" rather than in the 12-14 hour compiled form - and also, if you'd like to see the first two episodes broken up the same way for potentially "easier consumption"! Thank you!
