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.

Novelist and comic book writer Alex Segura joins our host for a romp where the original five X-Men from the past time travel to the present from the past and the future X-Men from the future are also in the present and they want the past X-Men to go back to the past. Confused yet? Well strap in friend do we take you for a ride this week as we study X-Men 12 (from September, 2013).

• what if it's a fireman calendar but it's just Magneto for each month

• Cyclops always puts Magik on his teams because he HATES getting his jets shot out of the sky and it happens ALL THE TIME

• Eva Bell is NOT an X-Man from the future

• the Zen koan of Xorn is Magneto is Xorn

• one of the best twists in comic history

• Angel exists in this comic but literally everyone forgot he was there
