Welcome to the Hellfire Vigil! We’re diving in with three parts to look at this oversized jam issue.

Part 1: Hellfire Galas - 02:43

We talk through the three years of Krakoan Galas and their impact on the narrative and the X-Men fan community.

Part 2: Hellfire Impacts with Chad Anderson - 29:42

We’re joined by our first X-Pert, Chad Anderson from Graymalkin Lane who speaks from a historian’s perspective on the impact that these events had on mutant community and culture.

Part 3: Hellfire Vigil #1 - 54:55

It’s time to get into the issue. We share our highs, our lows and our burning questions. The Warden? 3K? Storm?? It’s all here along with thoughts from you all!

Thanks for joining us in our first episode of an evolving new format. We’re trying out different ways to talk about things within continuity that excited us and we’d love to hear what you think! Leave us a review, send us a DM or shout from the telepathic rooftops! It’s all greatly appreciated.

And what a vacation it was! Six weeks flew by and we find ourselves back in the chairs, in front of the mic - but all new, all different. Catch up with us as we talk comics, future episodes and general feels. We're making some changes and we want you to come along with us!

What a doozy of a double week! We had some work things come up and honestly weren't feeling inspired with the lineup, so we've combined it! PLUS all the fire that came out last week. The solos overload our pullboxes and hearts at the same time. 3K's X-Men get told what's up by Scott and then respond in kind. And that final issue of NYX leaves us wanting more with no hope in sight...

Cassandra's got a new friend! Damn does she need it, but we're a little concerned for Piper's sister. Magik's got an old friend! And the relationship might be tested with some interesting reveals at the end of the issue. X-Force has a new end! In a way that no one predicted. Wolverine's going to rend... It's what he does, tears limbs, specifically zombie ones. And Sabretooth ends without a rhyme and we're both sad about it :(

Will Sinister succeed? History says no, probably not, but we're here for the ride! Wolverine gets a little older and maybe even wiser as he fights for his found family in the legacy 400 issue. Cable's twist hits in the feels as we learn the truth about Cicada. X-Factor splits into two teams with a sneaky mission. Plus some ominous details for Arakko in Power Man Timeless. And Emma guest stars in Astonishing as we all swoon

Climbing that mountain of books over the last two weeks! Charles gets his send off and the reviews are mixed to say the least. A whole ton of Wolverine and it's not letting up anytime soon. Plus some solo acts turned groups as Dazzler teams up for Concert of Champions and Psylocke recruits some help.

A mountain of books and we're still climbing! X-Manhunt shows up in half of one book as X-Force has Sage decked out in the spy gear we never knew we needed. Magik, Psylocke and Cable are the stand outs for both of us, delving deep into these character stories with interesting relationships and stakes. Exceptional X-Men delivers one of its best issues, but misses out on the surprise while doing it. Where do you stand on the Sinister reveal?
