Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.
On this week's episode we are joined by Chad Anderson of the x-cellent x-podcast Graymalkin Lane.
Chad offers up his encyclopedic knowledge as we dive into the 1960s, looking at when the mutant metaphor began and when Beast started really hating humans. We dive into Chad's birth month and year issue - Uncanny X-Men 115 - where we get his full breakdown of Sauron (and a great voice for him too).
Also in this issue:
Banshee has never looked hotter
Also, no one knows who you are Banshee stop asking
Lodro is going to hatch a rom com situation to make Ann Nocenti his cool aunt
Wolverines can run really fast
There sure is a lot of Cyclops blasting all over Wolverine's face in this issue
Also, Cyclops and Banshee tag team Sauron
Colossus has a son we will never speak of
- Sauron is bad at break ups
Zaladane dresses like a chicken drag queen
Ka Zar keeps butting in to tell people he also has adventures
All this plus why Boom Boom would be a great president! Boom Boom 2028! She has my vote. What does any of this mean for Chad's future (and - BONUS - our society's)? Tune in to find out!
Chad Anderson is the host of the wonderful x-podcast Graymalkin Lane where he and his queer friends review the X-Men comics of the 1960s.
