Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.
Erica Schultz, comic writer extraordinaire, joins our host Lodro Rinzler for the Season 2 finale of X-Men Horoscopes!
We dive into the classic X-Men issue 105 where Jean finally figures out she's a giant cosmic bird. Eric the Red (FML that I have to explain Eric the Red) has manipulated the former herald of Galactus Firelord - basically if a matchstick took the form of a person - into taking out the X-Men and only Jean can sort of stop them!
We also get a sneak peek at Erica's new series: Laura Kinney the Wolverine, hitting stands this December.
Also in this episode:
Who is the alien Captain America?
What cause will Erica flip her own desk over to defend?
Why the new Wolverine series has an all-female creative team
Firelord is just a giant matchstick who won't stop talking about the last job he was fired from
Eric the Red is the reason Lodro drinks
Erica yells at Lodro about his categorization of New York City neighborhoods
Jean has the most expensive apartment in NYC and now her security deposit is gone
Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum fight on panel
Cyclops sees Jean's new power and is torn between "this is sexy" and "I'm terrified" and has lived there ever since
Misty Knight gets a bad break in the roommate department
This and much more in the finale of Season 2 for X-Men Horoscopes! We will be back in a few weeks with a power-packed Season 3 and, as always, thanks for listening!

Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.
This week legendary X-Writer Kieron Gillen joins our host Lodro Rinzler for a very special episode entitled "The X-Office is an Anarchist Commune." We discuss, not surprisingly, what it was like behind the scenes during the recent Krakoa era, the Fall of X, and how Xavier was right (?).

Also in this episode:
- Kieron has emotional contraceptives for that
the overlap between Hickman and Gillen writing styles
the X-Men are forged into...the Breakfast Club
the death and rebirth of Thunderbird
how Count Nefaria is somehow the primary x-villain this season on the show

Also: Power Fantasy, Kieron's BRAND NEW comic, is out...TODAY! Go get it! Like, today today!
Kieron Gillen first came to attention as a comic creator with his 2006’s Phonogram, with Jamie McKelvie. Jamie and he formed into a gestalt monster that rampaged against the next fifteen years of comics, culminating with critical and smash hit the Wicked + the Divine. When not with Jamie, he has co-created books such as DIE, The Ludocrats, Once & Future, Three, Uber and more. When not making his own worlds, he has worked on Marvel Comics biggest books, such as Uncanny X-Men, Young Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, Star Wars, Eternals and Darth Vader, (where he co-created Doctor Aphra).
