Uncanny Curs

By Lauren D'Ambrosio

Every two weeks Lauren, Alex and Larry get together to puzzle through the Chris Claremont years of Marvel's Uncanny X-Men comics. We have feelings and opinions on what are considered the "good" and "classic" years of X-men. Only one of us has read the comics prior to now, the other two just watched the cartoon when we were children. Join us on our journey through the mind bending mystery that is the Uncanny X-Men.

Episode 20 Tales of the New Teen Titans: Cyborg

In this episode, we’re starting our 4 episode romp through the world of the New Teen Titans from the early 80s.  The art is weird, the dialogue is weird, and we thought 70s X-Men was weird.  But it’s nice to have something else to go over.

Episode 19 - Season Finale

Larry is back this week for our Season 1 Finale.  We talk about issue 113 who’s front page title doesn’t make any sense and may or may not be anti-Semitic?  We also talk about the past season as whole.  What characters we liked, obviously Queen Storm and what characters we didn’t. *cough* Professor Xavier *cough* It’s a wild ride as always.  This episode is sponsored by Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app
