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.
This week we have a treat for you: letterer extraordinaire Clayton Cowles joins the pod and you will never look at comics the same way again. We cover Uncanny X-Men 221 where the Marauders are after Madelyne Pryor but the X-Men can save her...right? Right?!
Also in this episode:
Mr. Sinister's first appearance (I'm beginning to fear I'm not right)
Mr. Sinister needs to see a dentist
one of the Marauders is not like the other ones (it's Polaris)
Dazzler spreads bad vibes
the Adversary really shouldn't be hitting on Storm
Harpoon's power is harpoons
the redemption of Greycrow / Lodro's X-Men pitch
Madelyne Pryor is a badass
...what does any of this mean for Clayton's future? Tune in to find out!
All this plus Clayton's advice to people looking to break into lettering! Why are you still reading this? Listen to the episode!
