Okay, yeah, I’m gonna do this. Zine of trans and/or BIPOC creators’ takes on X-Men. Proper call for participants sometime in the next few weeks, but if you’re interested, few free to HMU sooner.

Disability plays a big but surprising role in this arc, imo (the Special Class as henchmen in a fascistic story, Magneto killing Basilisk & Jean getting killed via stroke) How do you feel about the handling of disability in this arc, especially in comparison to the rest of this run?

Also, “I Just Had Sex” ft Akon is the Lonely Island’s only top 40 hit

That one medley from the first Pitch Perfect that starts with “Let’s Talk About Sex” has like 4-5 in a row, plus KISS has quite a few

Anna Peppard continues to never miss! A brilliant summation of the recent return of cheesecake! As someone who was put off from Marvel for decades due specifically to Carol’s depiction, I couldn’t agree more!

Also, if folks wanna track down that issue with Kitty, Scott & Logan, its Wolverine: First Class #12. Its set just after UXM #150, and they are on 'Octopus-heim'/Magneto's island lair! Its one of my favorites in a fantastic run. All of those First Class series are a blast, tbh!

As a diehard "Rachel is trans and Cable should be too" truther, I obviously loved Josie's take! Metaphors, allusions and Body Shoppe visits aside, there's a moment in Excalibur v1 where she talks about never being able to find alternate versions of "Rachel Summers" in any timeline, but not Nathans!

Welcome to SubteXtMen, a podcast focused on the literary adventures of Marvel’s merry mutants! Join your host, Chapman Blake, as they work alongside a plethora of wonderful guests to bring you monthly recaps of the X-Men’s adventures in prose.
The logo for the SubteXtMen podcast. It features the words “Subtext Men” in classic red and blue comics font on top an archaic looking speech bubble. The words “a podcast” are in white below the speech bubble. The speech bubble extends from a red and blue book in classic comics style. The background is green with blue speckles ala old school comics coloring.

Loved the various takes on the U-Men, although I predominantly read them as metaphors for cultural appropriation by white people, extending into the Rachel Dolezal/transracial stuff! I also never connected the “needing to breathe clean air” with the fact that they’re all on immunosuppressants
