By popular request - we are continuing our discussion of the recently-completed Juggernaut miniseries... and today's issue even contains a Krakoa-relevant page!

Today's issue also prominently features the Hulk... which facilitates me sharing my life and times as a fan of the character and his many, many incarnations!

All that, and some great mailbag too!

Continuing our trek off the beaten Dawn of X trail... we're stopping to take a look at the issue of Fantastic Four (vol.6) where it was revealed that Franklin Richard is NOT... and never HAS BEEN a mutant. I'm sure it'll be handled quite gracefully... and not feel like a last-minute attempt to "solve a problem".

I'll also share with you my life and times as a fan of the Fantastic Four... it's not that thrilling a story, but you'll get it anyway!

All that and great mailbag to boot! Be a pal, have a listen!

From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 1i - Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (1991)

From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast

Episode 1I

Wizard: The Guide to Comics #2 (October, 1991)

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!

Wait... what? What's a Gwenpool doing in our X-Lapsed?

I promise, friends, this will all make sense in the telling - as it has some wonderful and surprising Krakoan ramifications. In fact, even taking the X-ness out of this series, this is a heckuva lot of fun... and is highly recommended by your humble host!

If you don't know Gwenpool... like I didn't... you're gonna wanna check this one out!
