Episode 199 – X-Men: From the Ashes with Nola Pfau
2024-06-20
Join Missy and Nola Pfau to discuss X-Men: From the Ashes, a mid-80s X-Men story featuring Scott’s new girlfriend who looks a lot like Jean Grey, Storm’s punk transformation, and more. We’re talking about Chris Claremont’s iconic writing, the representation of gender, and whether a superhero comic can be truly subversive.
