E For Evolution: X-Amining Grant Morrison's X-Men
Perry Constantine, Oscar Owens, Patrick Lagua
30 episodes
2 days ago
In 2001, Marvel's X-Men comics had just gone through ten years of stagnation. In sharp contrast to the monumental changes Chris Claremont routinely introduced to the characters, the X-Men had become a safe comic afraid to take risks. In an attempt to finally shake things up, Marvel tapped Grant Morrison, writer of JLA and The Invisibles, to reinvent the X-Men for a new generation. And for the first time since Claremont's initial run, Morrison introduced sweeping and controversial changes, the reverberations of which are still being felt to this day. Join hosts Perry Constantine, Oscar Owens, and Patrick Lagua as they go back through each issue of Morrison's New X-Men run, discussing the impacts of his work on the characters, the industry, and on themselves personally.

Assault on Weapon Plus (New X-Men #142-145)

Assault on Weapon Plus (New X-Men #142-145)

All three of us are back together to discuss the "guy's night out" story-arc. Cyclops has left the X-Men after Jean learned of his psychic affair. Wolverine beats Cyclops in a drinking contest, then drags him along on a raid on Weapon Plus and The World with Fantomex. We get an action-packed arc that plays to Chris Bachalo's artistic sensibilities but also gives us some great characterization, particularly of Scott, Logan, and their relationship. And also, some great commentary on The Authority and The Ultimates.

Issues Covered:
New X-Men #142 – Brimstone & Whiskey
New X-Men #143 – The World
New X-Men #144 – The Flesh
New X-Men #145 – The Devil

These issues are available in New X-Men by Grant Morrison Ultimate Collection, Book 3 or New X-Men: Assault on Weapon Plus.
