Talk of X-Men Forever and Uncanny X-Men: First Class is joined by Pat’s new releases, Tom’s History Lesson, and Steve’s recap of the year that was 1988.

Only flying with one co-pilot this week (thanks for the voicemail, Carlos!), the host chats up a title or two, a couple movies, and runs down the new releases. Maybe it’s not as painful as it sounds.

Host David A. Price takes a week off and lets Derek Coward take over. Pat Loika talks about the week’s new releases, Steve Raker talks about Marvel in the year 1972 and Derek talks about great Marvel comics from the 90s(!).

Pat’s new releases, a phone call from Carlos, and a stroll down memory lane with Steve add some flair to this week’s episode while the host talks about Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Force (and Messiah War).

The host is down and out, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get the new releases from Pat, a history lesson from Tom, a look at 1967 from Steve, and a voicemail from Carlos! Enjoy!!

No need to spend time with the host since Tom’s here with a history lesson and Steve returns with the conclusion to his DeFalco/Ryan/Bulandi Fantastic Four recap! And in between there’s a phone call from Carlos!Titles mentioned include X-Factor, Dark Reign: Hawkeye, Black Panther, Timestorm 2009/2099, and Uncanny X-Men.

The pain of rambling is eased by Pat’s new releases, a call from Carlos, and a history lesson from Tom.

Titles mentioned include Dark Reign: Elektra, Kick-Ass, Wolverine: The Anniversary, Amazing Spider-Man: Extra, and Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk.
