Welcome back to Waiting on the Trade, a monthly comics book club for people who don’t have time for monthly comics!
In this episode, guest host Bryce Manning gets real with us, as we discuss Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson’s X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills.
This episode’s explanations, observations, and links of note include:
- There are many essays discussing the Xavier = Martin Luther King Jr. and Magneto = Malcolm X comparison. These two focus on how those comparisons don’t quite match up.
- We are most definitely going to be reading the House of X/Powers of X collection for the podcast super soon (though not next month, because reasons). I’d highly recommend that you read it, too.
- Magneto: How does he work?
- No matter what Gail Simone tells you, Cyclops’s optic blasts come from the punch dimension. Or at least, that’s what we believe on this here podcast.
- Here’s a quick read on The 25% Revolution, which states that only 25 percent of people have to believe a thing to start bringing the rest of society around.
Follow-Up Recommendations
