Join your host Garhdo as they return to telling the long and fascinating history of Marvel’s mutant superheroes the X-Men. When they left off, our mutant heroes had survived the Age of Apocalypse, the coming of Onslaught, and Bastion’s Operation: Zero Tolerance, but a new millennium brings new threats, new writers, and some of the biggest challenges mutantkind will ever face. The X-Men will learn the truth of The Twelve, encounter the deadly Cassandra Nova, do battle with the House of M, and possibly be saved by the Mutant Messiah. And throughout this Garhdo will explore the impact of some of the most influential writers of this franchise, as Grant Morrison creates the New X-Men, Chris Claremont returns, and possibly one of the worst X-Men writers ever, Chuck Austen, writes some infamous moments.
