Comedians Matt Aukamp (Save Your Game, The Very Worst) and Pat Reber (The Very Worst) read the X-Men in chronological order and talk about all the weird, funny, ridiculous, insightful, and interesting things within.
One of the funny things about reading all the X-Books at once is that sometimes they align very well, and sometimes they are so deeply incongruous that it’s head-spinning. This has never been so true as in this episode. In the X-Men, we have an epic conclusion to a thrilling super-villain tale about grief, loss, insanity, and how amazing Cyclops is. In New Mutants, we have a man named Axe who is holding an Axe and his mutant powers are he found an Axe.
BUT at least we start the show with some EXCITING NEWS!!
