Classic Comics CavalcadeComics Cavalade Book Club: House of X and Powers of X with Daniel Elkin and Keith SilvaThe Comics Cavalcade Book Club is back in session as Daniel Elkin and Keith Silva join Jason to discuss a surprising choice for books: 2019's House of X/Powers of X. It's surprising because Daniel and Keith are not huge superhero fans, but like the pros they are, Daniel, Keith and Jason dig deep into Jonathan Hickman's magnum opus to tease out depth, symbolism and just what was up with Professor X's hat. It's 75 minutes of fun, fast listening I think you'll enjoy.
