Wolverine #13, S.W.O.R.D. #6, Way of X #3, X-Factor #10, Cable #11

This episode the guys discuss Loki episodes 2 and 3 and its introduction of new take on a classic Asgardian character, some of the review information on the soon to be released Black Widow and whether or not Kelsey will watch it opening weekend (spoiler, he will, but semi-involuntarily), and if Marvel making small changes to its streaming content is an interesting or even good thing. Wolverine grows from the seeds planted by X-Force and blooms into a full force Terra Verde conflict at the gala (and other plant based puns). S.W.O.R.D. follows the intergalactic fallout and follow-up to the Planet Sized moves of the X-Men. He may be drunk, but that doesn’t stop Nightcrawler from asking the tough questions, but tough questions can lead to tough answers. Oh, and Onslaught. X-Factor is a book about a chosen family and solving mysteries and it wraps up with a chosen family solving some heavy mysteries and uncovering one more. The 80’s action movie that is Cable introduces a ‘new’ ‘old’ character as it ramps up to a finale we have to assume is going to be full of some quality one-liners. Where have we been (The Gala) and where are we going (The Trial of Magneto? While Quintin couldn’t make it, he couldn’t go a whole two weeks without being heard so stick around to the very end for his hot takes on the last five issues!
