Grant Morrison's New X-Men #119--Plus THUNDERBOLTS* review!

Cassandra Nova is coming! In this episode, we dive deep into Grant Morrison’s New X-Men #122, where Cassandra, now in Xavier’s body, begins her terrifying conquest of the Shi’ar Empire and sets her gaze back on Earth. What does this mean for the X-Men, and can anyone stop her? We also revisit the Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost issue from 2020—Hickman and Dauterman’s homage to the psychic rescue in the previous episode. Did it deliver? And finally… we react to YOUR hottest takes! 

This is it, folks! The PSYCHIC RESCUE episode!

Join us for an unforgettable conversation with actress and model Stephanie Romanov as we explore her dynamic career, from her early days on Models Inc. and Melrose Place to her iconic role as Lilah Morgan on Angel. 

In this episode, we sit down with Avenue Magazine Editor-at-Large Alexander Mason Hankin to dive deep into all things Emma Frost. We explore her latest role in Marvel Rivals, unpack the evolution of her iconic X-fashion, and share our dream casting for Emma Grace Frost in the MCU—plus why we think Emma Roberts would be the perfect choice.

Both Jean and Emma have ICONIC moments in this issue! Plus we got tea on Neve Campbell's involvement on X-Men '97...and it's looking grim. 

Live from Lady J’s Mutant and Proud Con! We’re here with JUBILEE herself, Holly Chou, and SUNSPOT himself, Gui Agustini!

On today’s Power of X-Men,  Dayspring and Flinkman give their feels on Thunderbolts* dive claw-first into New X-Men issue 119, where Grant Morrison and Igor Kordey set up SOMETHING BIG for the next issue. The. Last. Page. is all we'll say.

This issue marks the first appearance of the eerie and brilliant telepathic sisters who would go on to become fan favorites — think “Mean Girls” meets “Cerebro.” Also introduced are the U-Men, and a VERY iconic Emma Frost scene! And YES — we finally discuss the Nemesis wave Marvel Legends!

We sit down with legendary writer Joe Casey to dive into his Uncanny X-Men run during the Grant Morrison era! From the bold introduction of Stacy X to navigating stories alongside New X-Men, Joe opens up about creative risks, fan reactions, and the legacy of that transformative time in X-history. We also chat about his work on WildC.A.T.s, America Chavez, and what it means to write bold, genre-pushing comics. A must-listen for comic fans! 

Words we thought we'd never say: We love Hank McCoy after this heart-breaking issue! This is the BEST Beast-centric issue!
