Show Notes
In this episode, we're looking at a true X-Men oddity, the 2009 one-shot "X-Women," written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by legendary Italian artist Milo Manara. Perhaps best known to many American comic readers for his controversial "Spider-Woman" cover, Manara is primarily known for his work in erotic comics. And this is no different, presenting a hyper-sexually-charged look at an adventure of Kitty Pryde, Storm, Rogue, Psylocke, Rachel Summers, and Emma versus the evil Baroness. That this comic even exists - not a fan-work but an actual, official X-book put out by Marvel only a little over a decade ago - is sorta mind-boggling today, so of course we need to check it out. Apologies if our steamy discussion gets anyone hot and bothered! But first, some brief talk about recent X-Men titles, X-Men video games, and X-Men socks. All this, and more!
