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.
Comics legend Marjorie Liu joins our host Lodro Rinzler to discuss an incredibly fun and disturbing issue of X-Men!
Before we sell you on all the hilarity, let's get real for a moment: Marjorie Liu is not just an extraordinary comic writer, she's also just a lovely, grounded, kind human being. It was an honor to have her on the show. Okay, now on to the silliness.
In this episode we discuss how Marjorie writes from the gut and, in her words, her gut is really weird. Also, how she went through a cathartic experience writing X-23 (now Wolverine).
Topics include:
teenage Marjorie wrote X-Men fanfic
in the Marvel Universe, a hat and trenchcoat is more than sufficient to disguise a six foot, blue, furry man
Charles Xavier sends postcards from space
Mesmero is a bag of dicks
Also Mesmero read a Playboy once and thinks that's how people should always pose
the Phoenix force has limits on how badly you can mess up Jean Grey
At the end we answer questions from YOU! Yes, you! Then Marjorie Liu spits wisdom on how to be yourself even and especially when others are trying to tell you who you should become and how to transmute hatred and negativity into gold. This episode is not to be missed!
Marjorie Liu is an attorney and New York Times bestselling novelist and comic book writer. Her work at Marvel includes X-23, Black Widow, Han Solo, Dark Wolverine and Astonishing X-Men. She is also the co-creator of Monstress from Image Comics, which has won multiple Hugo Awards, British Fantasy Awards, the Harvey Award, and five Eisner Awards, making Liu the first-ever woman (and woman of color) to win an Eisner in the Best Writer category. She teaches comic book writing at MIT.
Marjorie’s extensive work with Marvel includes the Dark Wolverine series, NYX: No Way Home, X-23, and Black Widow: The Name of the Rose. She received national media attention for Astonishing X-Men, which featured the gay wedding of X-Man Northstar and was subsequently nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding media images of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. You can find more of Marjorie over at her website.

Right in time for Halloween Homo Superior co-host Adam Kousarri-Amin joins our host for The Most Depressing After School Special EVER! The Power Pack kids get abducted by the Morlocks and the X-Men have to remember the Morlocks exist and save them.
That's right! How to top last week's episode where the Morlocks kidnap an adult? With another episode where they kidnap children! Everyone needs a hobby and this is the Morlocks' so please stop judging them.
We review Uncanny X-Men 195 and other important topics covered include:
How watching X-Men 97 was like watching Drag Race...but for X-Men
Why mourning X-Men 97 is like losing a foreign lover
Lodro has a Star Wars name
Wolverine loves to smoke cigars and stab little girls...and he’s all out of cigars
Power Pack loves to hang out in sewers
We all know why Manson removed one of his own ribs right?
Kitty can be in charge and if Wolverine has to kill a couple Morlocks as a result of her bad leadership it's not the end of the world
The many teams of baby soldiers Xavier made us forget
If you live in a sewer why are you going to dress your kid in a tube top?
Cro Magnons are going to HATE this episode but everyone should give it a listen anyway.
Adam Koussari-Amin is co-host of the weekly podcast, Homo Superior, which provides smart analysis and dumb jokes about the latest and greatest of X-Men and MCU content. When he’s not running his mouth, you can catch him DJing around Washington, DC, or cuddling on the couch with his partner and his dog watching horror movies and playing video games. The excellent meme-game discussed in this episode can be found here.

Nightcrawler has a beautifully symmetrical face
What do Cyclops and Caliban have in common (they both have been worn as sweaters except for Cyclops - bad joke sorry)?
a truly beautiful knife fight
Cyclops loves wearing sunglasses at night

This week legendary X-Writer Kieron Gillen joins our host Lodro Rinzler for a very special episode entitled "The X-Office is an Anarchist Commune." We discuss, not surprisingly, what it was like behind the scenes during the recent Krakoa era, the Fall of X, and how Xavier was right (?).

When not with Jamie, he has co-created books such as DIE, The Ludocrats, Once & Future, Three, Uber and more. When not making his own worlds, he has worked on Marvel Comics biggest books, such as Uncanny X-Men, Young Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Star Wars, Eternals and Darth Vader, (where he co-created Doctor Aphra).
