Fellowship Podcast : His Lasers Go All Over The Place

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Giant-Size X-Men #1. This was the re-introduction of the title with new heroes, an early exercise in diversity in comics. We talk about the history of the title, some different character stories, the issue's impact on the X-Men and comics in general, and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
