E For Evolution: X-Amining Grant Morrison's X-MenPlanet X (New X-Men #146-150)We now come to possibly the most controversial arc in Morrison's run, where Xorn was revealed to be Magneto in disguise the whole time. We discuss the fan reaction to these issues back in the day, Marvel's rapid and sloppy attempts to undo the revelations, our own theories for what the arc was really about, and so much more!
Issues Covered:
New X-Men #146 – Planet X
New X-Men #147 – Magneto Superior
New X-Men #148 – Survivor Type

E For Evolution: X-Amining Grant Morrison's X-MenAssault on Weapon Plus (New X-Men #142-145)All three of us are back together to discuss the "guy's night out" story-arc. Cyclops has left the X-Men after Jean learned of his psychic affair. Wolverine beats Cyclops in a drinking contest, then drags him along on a raid on Weapon Plus and The World with Fantomex. We get an action-packed arc that plays to Chris Bachalo's artistic sensibilities but also gives us some great characterization, particularly of Scott, Logan, and their relationship. And also, some great commentary on The Authority and The Ultimates.
Issues Covered:
New X-Men #142 – Brimstone & Whiskey
New X-Men #143 – The World

E For Evolution: X-Amining Grant Morrison's X-MenMurder at the Mansion (New X-Men #139-141)Perry and Pat are just a duo for this episode to discuss the Murder at the Mansion three-part story-arc. Jean has just learned about Scott and Emma's dirty little telepathic affair and after confronting them, Emma ends up shattered! A classic whodunnit that sees perhaps the best use of Bishop and Sage as mutant detectives investigating Emma's death.
Issues Covered:
New X-Men #139 – Shattered
New X-Men #140 – Murder at the Mansion
New X-Men #141 – Whodunnit?
These issues are available in New X-Men by Grant Morrison Ultimate Collection, Book 2 or New X-Men: Assault on Weapon Plus.

E For Evolution: X-Amining Grant Morrison's X-MenKid Ω (New X-Men #134)In the prelude to the "Riot at Xavier's" story-arc, we're introduced to Quentin Quire in such a wonderful way, we almost forget this was his first appearance. We also get a wonderful new fill-in artist in the form of Keron Grant and the "resolution" of sorts of the "Beast is gay" subplot.

E For Evolution: X-Amining Grant Morrison's X-MenDust (New X-Men #133)The final issue of the "New Worlds" trade is our focus.

He Who Shall Not Be Named is unfortunately back as the fill-in artist, we meet the Mumbai X-Corp team, and the introduction of Dust!

Superhero CinephilesGeneration X2000's X-Men was not the first live-action X-Men film. In 1996, Fox attempted to launch a Generation X TV show based on this made-for-TV movie. Amidst the weird use of Dutch angles, the very low budget, and some really bad acting, there are some interesting things in this film, like the best live-action portrayal of Emma Frost and Banshee yet. Perry is joined by Patrick Lagua and Oscar Owens, his co-hosts on the E For Evolution podcast, to revisit this forgotten film.
