X-Factor Files: Investigating the Marvel Universe

We get two great stories this week- one focusing on Puck, the other on Snowbird. The bonus? Our back-up stories give us the origins of Shaman! Come learn a little about all three in this episode as we review Alpha Flight issues 5 and 6.

Jason from The Avenging Hour pops on to talk to use about Machine Man and showcase three appearances that show us how the character evolved over the years. For this episode, we read Machine Man #19, Nextwave #1, and Tony Stark: Iron Man #3.

Two fresh issues of Star Trek Unlimited to cover in this episode! Yes, we skipped one. Why? Guess you'll have to listen to find out!

We swung by C2E2 this past weekend in Chicago and chat all about what we did! Who did we meet? What did we see? Tune in as we look back on a fantastic con!

Madrox dies and just keeps dying over and over. What's up with that? We take a dive into it and find a whole bunch of alternate universes and alternate dupe powers!

Our friend Chad from Graymalkin Lane swings by to chat with us about Cynthia Chalmers! She has a fun little side story connecting to the X-Men and the Sentinels. We review the X-Men stories from Marvel Superheroes issues 6-8 in this episode.

What happens when a comic book is adapted into a cartoon, then that cartoon is adapted into a comic book? Why, X-Men Adventures, of course! Join us as we look at the issue that contains Alpha Flight! We also chat about the episode from the X-Men Animated Series as well- it's a good time!

We continue our Canadian journey by following the team to Marrina's fate! We also have a very special guest appearance by an angry man with pointy ears and the woman who isn't his love interest. Jump into the frigid waters and join us!

We're tackling two issues of Star Trek Unlimited in this episode- we get Uhura, Geordi, and some uncomfortable ethnic cleansing and Leah Brahms moments. What do we think of this mixed bag? Beam in and find out!

We're here with another outstanding arc from X-Factor 225 through 228! We also talk about recent X book announcements and rumors and how we could never be a podcast to cover a bunch of current comics.
