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.

With us this week is X-Men '97 director Emmett Yonemura! We unpack their work on Season 1 including the surprising elements they introduced to make the Genosha episode incredibly tragic and dive into what we can see in Season 2, now streaming.

We cover the X-Men issue that came out the same month they came out as trans which is...a doozy. Watch us try to explain sarcastic Nimrod, Dr. Statis, dominions and more in a dystopia that probably doesn't bode well for Emmett's future.

Also in this episode:

• Emmett’s next major project

• Clayton Cowles is building an addition on his house to hold all his Eisners

• Spoiler alert: there will be no Children of the Vault in X-Men '97 Season Two

• Mr. Sinister is serving

• AI vs art

• the Morlocks as the little gremlins that could

What does any of that have to do with Emmett's future? Tune in to find out!
