The Factor Three train Keeps a'rollin' on anther thrill a minute episode of House of X Book Club! Our first issue is none other than X-Men #38! Today we find out about ANOTHER secondary mutation of the Beasts, as he uses his pinky toe to subdue a hippo! Not really, but the truth is even weirder! We also continue the magical journey of a boy and his pal with diamond plated hands! It's a tale as old as time! or at least as old as the 60's!!!   In our second issue of action packed action, we dive head first into Avengers number 47! Magneto guest stars, and Toad is here too! Magneto does drugs (apparently, but really how else can you explain the manic eyes and grinding teeth?) and Toad irritates everyone! Also, there are some Avengers here! Watch Hercules climb stuff! Marvel at the origins of The Black Knight! Be slightly amused by the bargin basement Avengering of Hawkeye! All this and the Maximoffs too!    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Email: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

 In the nameless episode of the House of X Book Club, we read two real barn burning books, X-Men 36 & 37! First in number 36,  Mekano gets mad! At Books and Words and other mad making things! He hates the written word almost as much as his father, who very much likes the written word! That dastardly man! And in X-Men 37, the team falls out of a plane! After they rip the door off of course! Like you do on a commercial airplane! And then comes the first of what appears to be MANY, MANY, MANY showdowns with Factor Three! Or maybe just this one that seems to drag on forever! Either way, you know there is going to be a tussle!   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Email: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the House of X Book Club! Today we get a double dose of X-Men, with a side of Spider-Man! In X-Men 34, the X-Men travel underground once again to battle Mole Man and Tyrranus! See, what had happened was both of them built giant constructs to tear down their respective cities, but that just wasn't enough! They needed the help of the X-Men to truly defeat one another! It's chapter 42 in the never-ending saga of the X-Men underground!   Then in issue 35, the X-Men remember that they have to fight Factor Three! Banshee fights a spider robot! Spider-Man fights a spider robot! The X-Men fight Spider-Man! Then the X-Men fight a spider robot! Then they all get ice cream and pie! What flavor does Beast like best? We'll never know because that last one was a lie!   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Email: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

Come and join us for the final episode of Quiet Council interviews! In this episode, Rob talks about his love for the Taco Bell dollar menu, his favorite spot to read (hint, it's not the bathroom!), and why the Ronco Pocket Fisherman is the best invention in the history of mankind! Or, maybe they talk about comics, movies, and X-Men! Either way it's shaping up to be the best episode of the House of X Book Club yet!   Check us out in all these fancy places on the internet:   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

Welcome back book clubbers! We are so glad you come here to club books and not the Antarctic to do the same to baby seals! Boy do we have a treat for you today. Not ice cream, you only get that after you visit the Professor X basement lair! It's a double shot of Juggernaut. The theory is the reason good ol' Juggs always gets a two-parter is the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak makes his butt too big to fit in a single issue! But don't mention it to him okay, he's a little sensitive about it. Enjoy!   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

Tonight in the center of the ring, The Quiet Council take on the X-Cellence of X-Cution X-Men 30 and 31! Buckle in, this is going to be a wild one! First we meet the Warlock, and Jean rides a unicorn with no hands! So young and reckless, I bet she kisses with tongues! Next up we face Cobalt Man! This was supposed to be the first in a line of elementally based heroes, but Tungsten Lad never made it off of the drafting table! We hope he is doing well in whatever shenanigans he got up to out there in the superheroing world! Give it a listen, and Alkacelcior!   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

In another exciting episode of the House of X Book Club, we dive into another two classic funny books! First up, we dive deep into the sexiest book about a blind lawyer who fights crime, Lady Death! Just kidding, it's Daredevil #14! In this issue Daredevil considers a radical costume change, a bikini! And Ka-Zar goes on trial for crimes against fashion! Next up is X-Men 29! In this issue Bobby fights the Super Adaptoid and the whole team gas lights him about the incident! Then they all run into him and no one apologizes to Iceman! All this and Jean grey wearing almost nothing in December in another pulse pounding premier of The House of X Book Club!   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

In this pulse pounding premiere, they dynamic duo of Shane and Drew go a few rounds about how awesome Drew is! We lean his favorite food, his love for Batman, and why he is so mean to Rob! Okay, that last one might not be true, but it got your attention! See now we are baiting you like the old covers to the books we are reading! Listen on Blue Retrievers!    Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

Today on the pod, the gang talks about X-Men 27 and 28! The Mimic Returns after The X-Men LET HIM GO following another wonderful mind wipe from the evil Professor X! Nothing brings more joy or power retrieval like blunt force trauma to the head! A now concussed Mimic joins the X-Men! Cyclops gets emo! Angel gets emo! Jean gets emo! Nobody wears black eyeliner though, so that is a little disappointing! Ted is here too! The Banshee and The Ogre-Ann! Here on Professor X's Isle!   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

In Episode 15 the HoXBC compare Millennium Falcons! And then they talk about X-Men 25 and 26. Cerebro works it non-mutant mutant detecting magic, a man becomes a god, and then gets Jaundice! Or maybe the coloring technology wasn't as good back in the day, I can't remember! We are still very much in the era of every sentence ending with an exclamation point though, so even when characters whisper, there is GREAT EMPHASIS! Come and join us won't you?!?   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

In another exciting episode of the pod, we dive into another couple of interesting issues! Frist we read X-Men number 24, featuring the crafty and conniving Locust! Otherwise known as Doctor Hopper, who perhaps had a villainous moniker a little too on the nose.  The first part of an exciting (???) Locust thrillogy! It does span a few years so buckle up!  In our second issue, we dive into Daredevil number 13! John Romita Sr. Drew this one, so story be damned, it's gonna be good! We love us some JRSR here at the HoXBC survival bunker. I mean Compound! I mean Campaign Headquarters! Man, these just keep getting more and more evil... Anyway, come and join us as Professor X does a mean Gandlaf cosplay and Ka-Zar tries to kill it with fire!   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/ Gallery Bookshop calendar: https://www.gallerybookshop.com/event/2023-10

I think we can all agree that Rowan is our favorite member of the Quiet Council. And today we learn more about her! Roger sits down with the best of us to talk about who she is, what she likes, and of course the X-Men! Come and join us won't you?    Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/   Make sure and check out the information for our first live podcast recording: Gallery Bookshop calendar: https://www.gallerybookshop.com/event/2023-10

Welcome back book clubbers! We have got a banger of an episode for you today! We discuss the many faces of Roger's eyebrows, as well as comic books! X-Men 23 and Avengers 13 to be precise. The battle with the Spider-Man J tier villains continues for what seems LIKE AN ETERNITY, and Porcupine may have committed a sex crime as he keeps asking The Unicorn if he wants to see how his pricker works. And in Avengers number 13, we meet Count Nefaria for the first time, so Iron Man and his gang are to blame for this whole mess. Current comic readers will recognize our buddy the count from New Mutants Lethal Legion, but it will be a while before we get to those books. The Dungeon of Doom also makes its first appearance. This is a real dungeon, not Kevin Sullivan and his Lethal Legion bent on the destruction of Hulkamania! Will the X-Men survive? What heinous crimes will Professor X commit? How will Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage survive the Tower of Terror match against 8 other men? You will have to listen to find out! (WCW results from 1996 are not discussed during this episode)   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

Today on the House of X The Quiet Council digs deep into some X-Men lore. We talk about numbers 21 and 22. Lucifer brings us Dominus, the machine that can only be defeated by Professor X in a really bad Gandalf cosplay. And in issue 22, the X-Men encounter Count Nefaria and a list of Spider-Man B team villains that can only be described as... meh. I guess Count Nefaria spent his entire budget moving his castle to America piece by piece and didn't have anything left to score a Doc Oc or Green Goblin for this one. All this, plus the sulkiest team leader to ever grace a comic book in no way makes a move for the woman he loves. Way to bring the whole vibe down Cyclops!   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

Good day House of X listeners, I have a question for you. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Daredevil fought pirates? Would it turn out the same as when Iceman and Human Torch fought pirates, or perhaps when the British Navy took their turn? Well wait no longer funny book fans! Today is the day when we talk about the very issue where Matt Murdock takes a trip to a land that is SAVAGE! That's right, today we are looking at Daredevil #12 and X-Men #20! I addition to piratey goodness, we witness some Blob, Unus, and Lucifer three way action! The triple threat you won't soon forget! Or maybe you will, my memory isn't what it used to be so I am lucky to make it out the door with pants, much less what happened when Lucifer tangentially put together a team of mutant villains! Come now, and listen to the marvelous marvels that await you in another exciting episode of The House of X Book Club!   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/houseofx_bookclub/ BookFace: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092707100579 Yackbox: [email protected] Webbage:https://houseofxbookclub.podbean.com/

In this episode we get into some magical mutant mayhem! We dig into our usual two issues, today it's X-Men #19 Strange Tales #120. We meet Mimic, perhaps the biggest turd in the X-Punchbowl! Once we move on from his craptastic attitude, we venture over to Strange Tales where Iceman and Human Torch go on a swingers cruise. Fair warning, Stan did not know what swingers were, so temper your expectations. Instead, they fight pirates! On the Hudson River! In the 1920s! How will two super powered heroes ever overcome the menace of pirates?

Have we got some X-Men goodness for y'all today! We review X-Men numbers 17 and 18 today. Issue 17 starts off with a lie right on the front cover, and things get dodgy from there. In issue 18 Magneto gets up to his old tricks, with the same old eyebrows in tow.

In this episode Shane quits the Quiet Council and terror ensues! Then the gang talks about 15 and 16 of the X-Men! Who will be the first to crap on a dead creator? What horrors will Xavier commit? Who will Beast talk down to? What sort of phallic contraption will Iceman construct? You will only find out if you listen!!!

On this episode of HoXBC, we talk about issues 13 and 14. Jack Kirby is about to give the X-Men the big 'ol middle finger and leave the book. Which he will soon also do to Stan! But enough with the real life drama, let's dig into some X-Drama. That's the name of Boom Boom's team in the new Krakoa era for those not paying attention. Here in the early days though, we talk about the second half of the Juggernaut story and the debut of the Sentinels! Throw your robotic hands in the air! And wave them like you want to kill mutants! Oh, and Professor X acts like a dick some more. 

This week in the House of X, we run into The Stranger! And if grade school taught us anything, remember, always STRANGER DANGER!!! And in the second half of our show, Juggernaut craps his pants! Oh wait, he's only drawn to look like that. He makes his first appearance in a comic. And he has come to stop the evil that Professor X is visiting upon his unsuspecting students. Either that or smash up the place a bit. Which one will it be? You will have to listen to find out!

Hey everybody! Welcome Drew to the Pod! In this episode, we discuss two more great books from the House of Ideas! Journey Into Mystery #109 and X-Men #10! WATCH as Thor fights Magneto and loses the power of his hammer! MARVEL as The Beast says something sexist! RECOIL as Ka-Zar almost loses his loincloth! All this and more awaits in another round of action packed action that is the House of X Book Club!

This week we take a break from all the reviews and smack talk about the X-Men comics to do a review and some smack talk about the biography released by Disney just a week ago, titled simply Stan Lee. Will the gang love it? Will they hate it? Will they spread it on crackers and eat it with noontime tea? You will have to listen to find out!

In this, our fourth episode, dear listeners, we dive into issues 7, 8, and 9. The Blob, Magneto, and Professor X all do incredibly evil things. The kids graduate, and X goes on a mission to bust a cap in his old nemesis. The Quiet Council delve into all this and more on the House of X Book Club!

Welcome once again citizens and well wishers of Krakoa. We come to you today with tales from our early years, well before Jean Grey could tell you what Cyclops, Wolverine, and Emma Frost had for dinner. That's right we are going back to a time when Professor X would use his telepathy to force people to give him a ride to the 7-11 for a Slurpee, and not think twice about it. We look at two great issues from the sixties today, Fantastic Four number 28 and X-Men number six! If you haven't had a chance to read these two yet, we highly recommend you do so. Both written and drawn by the same people, but two significantly different end products. On to the episode!
