JUST SO'S YA KNOW:

We are approaching the end of Grant Morrison's "New X-Men" run...

....but THE POD MUST GO ON

We've had such a positive response that we are doing a season two early next year, where we look at (a) works in dialogue with Morrison's run and (b) weird/obscure X-media

STAY TUNED

Your periodic reminder that Dazzler of the X-Men was originally designed by John Romita, Sr. to be Black and resemble Grace Jones:

I don't know if assault on weapon plus is the best arc of new x-men, but it does have the hellfire strip club: the best single issue of new x-men

UPDATE: I made contact with the guy who wrote this musical, and it turns out we DID know each other at school, but he changed his name and look after graduation, so that's why I didn't recognize him

We're interviewing him for @herecomestomorrow.net season two next year

STAY TUNED
For those in the USA just waking up: apparently an X-Men musical debuted at my high school in 2023 and you can listen to all of the (really good!!!) songs here:

Episodes 09 and 10 really hit home how this is the Post-9/11 X-Men Run

Episode 09 with @alana-m-vincent.net is a fantastic discussion of how we memorialize genocide, with a sidebar about whether at this point Genosha is more like Israel or Poland
New episode!

This is a somber one

We talk about "Ambient Magnetic Fields," the rebuilding of Genosha, and the VERY complicated politics of genocide memorial

Luckily, we have an expert on all of the above: the great A.M. Vincent

It was a really great chat; we hope you listen 💜
EPISODE 09: AMBIENT MAGNETIC FIELDS (FT. A.M. VINCENT) — HERE COMES TOMORROW: THE PODCAST
By this point in New X-Men, it's been one year since Cassandra Nova attacked Genosha, and more importantly, one year since the real-world attacks on September 11.

In our fear and in our anger, we refused to think clearly, or to grant people unlike us any sort of interiority

Which is as good a segue as any into Episode 10 with @foeyeahboi.bsky.social, introducing the X-Men's first Muslim character
Welp.

You knew it was coming.

We finally had to discuss the absolute worst issue of Grant Morrison's NEW X-MEN run: issue #133, "Dust"

Luckily, our episode is GREAT, because our guest, @foeyeahboi.bsky.social is frickin' brilliant and took everyone to school

LISTEN NOW!!!!
EPISODE 10: DUST (FT. DOC) — HERE COMES TOMORROW: THE PODCAST
It's time for Josie and Becca to wade into the most infamous New X-Men issue of all: Dust, 2002's post-9/11 Islamophobia whirlwind tour.

oh by the way update on this because I'm all about due diligence nowadays: Here Comes Tomorrow is a podcast that Gets It: Quentin Quire is an eager Teacher's Pet Dork-Ass-Dork given ideas above his station by the collapse of the assimilationist dream and running on drugs and hormones

We may not yet be at the Morrison run, but if @edidin.bsky.social jumped on @herecomestomorrow.net to talk Riot at Xavier's and all things Quentin Quire! Go listen (and then listen to the rest of Here Comes Tomorrow, 'cause it's great)!

This week, we tackle the most-discussed (and possibly best?) arc of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run: "Riot at Xavier's"

And we have the ideal guest for our convo: @edidin.bsky.social of @xplainthexmen.bsky.social!!!!

Listen now! It was a fantastic chat!!!
EPISODE 11: RIOT AT XAVIER’S (FT. JAY EDIDIN) — HERE COMES TOMORROW: THE PODCAST
New X-Men is a comic about the new vs. the old, and Riot at Xavier's is that theme at its most relevant. Which is why Josie and Becca needed a very special guest: Jay Edidin of Jay and Miles X-Plain t...

Heard “…being against imperialism doesn’t necessarily mean they like brown people” —and flashed to the leftists who uncritically cheered the demise of USAID.

But this excellent episode of Here Comes Tomorrow is about NEW X-MEN going full post-9/11 Islamophobia:

WELL THANKS FOR NOTHING @herecomestomorrow.net NOW I HAVE TO KEEP THINKING ABOUT "RIOT AT XAVIER'S" AS A STATEMENT ON X-MEN COMICS THEMSELVES, LAID OUT IN THAT FINAL FIVE-IN-ONE MONOLOGUE FROM #137; IT'S NOT "ANARKY" AND IT'S NOT "THE AUTHORITY"; IT'S "IN" VERSUS "OUT" IN THE COOLEST TEEN DRAMA EVER
