Greetings fellows comic book lovers! We have a very special episode for ya today! We are going to wrap our heads around one of our favorite concepts, the good ol' What If story! In this episode we turn to our fearless leader Rob to see what sort of alternate storylines he has come up with. And the best part about our What If stories is they won't be written into cannon in five years (we think)! So join us on a new adventure as we discuss "What If the X-Men defeated the Avengers!?!"

Welcome Children of the Atom, to the penultimate episode of the first AGE OF X!!! We are going to look at two issues of X-Men that contain some awesome characters as well as some questionable choices, X-Men 63 and 64! First up, more action in the Land that is Savage, with Ka-Zar and Zabu! Fun fact the Sade song from 1985 was originally titled "Sweetest Zabu!" Not really. I just made that up. BUT! He is in this book, along with all of the oddest teens of all! Next up is X-Men 64, with the blazing hot Sunfire joining the lexicon! A complicated back story? Check! Anguished teenager? Check! Bossy Father figures? Check! Something tells me he's going to be around for quite some time! After he gets out of prison of course! Why did he go to prison?

Happy weekend Hox'ers! How about all those exciting things that are happening in the real world? Let's step into Dr. Doom's time machine and check out some classic X-Men (and women!) Action! First up we explore X-Men number 48! Those plucky teens Scott Summers and Jean Grey battle Computo by Radio Shack, a Tandy Company! For you young folks out there, Radio Shack used to be a place to go and buy electronics parts to fix your broken toaster instead of buying a new one! There is also a five page continuation of the origin of the Beast where he talks a LOT! Spoiler Alert!   Next up we gaze into the future of the X-Men with What If... #13! We explore the possibility of Professor X becoming the Juggernaut instead of Cain Marko! Will he protect the universe, or will he call everyone bitch while introducing himself?!? You will have to listen in to find out!

It's the end of the X-Men as we know it, and I feel fine! Welcome back to you our bookish friends! We are diving into some of the last third of the original X-Men shenanigans! First up we take a look at X-Men 46. We are dealing with the aftermath of the death of a major character, and the Juggernaut shows up to whoop some candy asses! Back in the sixties you could buy candy asses at the soda fountain along with Coca-Cola with actual cocaine in it. Just kidding! They took the coke out of Coke in the thirties! The backup in this issues wraps up the origin of everyone's pal Iceman!   Next is X-Men 47, featuring the bodacious Beast and the incredible Iceman! They team up to fight a villain we thought (hoped) we would never see again! Bobby and Hank take Vera and Zelda out for a double date (ACTUALLY, Vera and Zelda take out Bobby and Hank) and that's where all the trouble starts! Hypotism, Superman style shenanigans, and some old fashioned trickery give us this team up tale! And in the backup, we meet the Beast again for the first time! He's sexist, his world bubbles take up half a page, he's THE BEAST!   Before we get to the regular links, I wanted to share a couple of new ones.   First, we have a real website! Visit https://houseofxbookclub.com/ for so much X-Men goodness!

It's New Year, New Episode! We had some audio issues with the first upload. They were minor, but they bugged me enough that I had to go back and fix them so I could sleep tonight! Those X-Men fever dreams when you are prepping to record the next episode can be weird! Sweaty night terrors aside, we have some great stuff going on today in  the form of X-Men 45 and Avengers 53! Will we find out anything about a boat named Sue? Will Roger get the numbering for the issues in time to read them in the bathroom? Will Shane make sure to include all the music in the episode? All this, plus the Black Knight, Magneto, and a unanimous decision to punch Toad too!    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Email: houseofxbookclub@gmail.com Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

Today on the House of X we are going to take a peek into two senses shattering issues, X-Men 43 and 44!     First up in issue 43 we deal with the fallout from issue 42! With Professor X gone, how messed up is it that Cyclops os still only the deputy leader of the team? And in the backup we learn all about Scott's powers and how they work (to be retconned in issue 44)!    Next up is issue 44, where everyone got really sick of Toad and started thinking Magneto was right to be mean to him! I think at this point the entire book club has Stockholm Syndrome and are siding with our captor Magneto! In the backup we start to learn all about Bobby Drake, the Iceman! Well, not all about, some things stay secret for a few decades, but the signs are there! Join us for the ride, won't you?

On this very special episode of House of X Book Club, we get into a deep conversation about two power packed issues! First off we dive in to X-Men 41 and it's sequel, X-Men number 42, Electric Boogaloo! Our heroes face off against Grotesk, a sort of Dollar Store version of Frankenstein who lives underground with all the other C.H.U.D.S. in New York. It's a two parter that you will have to hear to believe!
