After over a year of watching the X-Men and other mutant teams deal with the devastating fallout of 2005's "House of M," in which the mutant population was decimated, in 2007 a three-part saga was commenced to finally pay off and bring to a climax the events set into motion by that event. In this episode, we look at the first part of that saga, the 2007 crossover event "Messiah Complex," which sees the X-Men, the Purifiers, and Mister Sinister's Marauders all fighting to gain control of the first mutant birth since "House of M." Except, what they don't know is that a thought-dead former X-Man actually has the baby...and another trusted teammate is about to betray them all in an attempt to destroy the child. "Messiah Complex" was the beginning of a new era for the X-Men, simultaneously bringing hope (literally, even) back to the mutant universe, while also kicking off an even darker, more violent tone that the books had previously seen. We discuss it all, with an in-depth discussion of the event.

But first, our thoughts on the new DEADPOOL 2 trailer, and we speculate about the recent news that Brian Michael Bendis will be teaming with Tim Miller for a mysterious X-MEN movie currently known only as "143." Plus, Trev shares his quick thoughts on BLACK PANTHER, and Joe tries very hard not to die from pure joy, as this is a very Cable-heavy episode.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most debated topics in the world of comic books: death and resurrection. As the X-MEN comics (again) bring back a number of previously deceased characters, we discuss whether this sort of storytelling tactic is still exciting and worthwhile, or just an unnecessary cheat that has devalued the narrative impact of character fates.

But first, we address a mistake we made during our review of THE GIFTED, and discuss the historical significance of LOGAN's Oscar nomination (while also trying to remember a bet we once made about the very topic). All this, plus arguably way too much talk about MTV, FRIENDS, and STAR WARS.
