The comics world and X-Men fans in particular were recently rocked by the news that, upon the conclusion of his "Inferno" event, Jonathan Hickman will be entirely leaving the X-Books, much earlier than many were expecting. As the grand architect of this new era of the X-Men, Hickman has been a controversial figure in X-fandom, but there's no denying the impact he has had on the status quo of these characters and their world. So what does it mean when the man who has overseen it all, departs? We're here to discuss the potential fallout of this announcement, including whether we're worried about the direction of the books in his absence, and whether we think the admitted change of plans that led to his exit means his overall artistic vision was compromised by Marvel and his other collaborators.
But first, some quick thoughts on SHANG-CHI & THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS, and the recent Twitter flare-up regarding rumors of the MCU dropping "Men" from the X-Men name for the upcoming movies.

We're back, and once again looking at a bizarre "X-oddity" of the past - this time, a free promotional tie-in comic from 1983, made in partnership between Marvel and the Dallas Times Herald, in which the X-Men must try to stop Magneto from recruiting a young half-man, half-horse mutant...while also taking in all the exciting sights and attractions the Texas State Fair has to offer!
Bur first, we discuss a speculative "80s X-Men movie cast" meme, when and where we'll get the first actual mutant appearance in the MCU, and our thoughts on the SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME trailer and Disney +'s WHAT IF?.
