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).

Also in this episode:

• 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

What does any of this mean for Alex's marriage? Tune in to find out!

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.

Right in time for Halloween Homo Superior co-host Adam Kousarri-Amin joins our host for The Most Depressing After School Special EVER! The Power Pack kids get abducted by the Morlocks and the X-Men have to remember the Morlocks exist and save them.

That's right! How to top last week's episode where the Morlocks kidnap an adult? With another episode where they kidnap children! Everyone needs a hobby and this is the Morlocks' so please stop judging them.

We review Uncanny X-Men 195 and other important topics covered include:

• How watching X-Men 97 was like watching Drag Race...but for X-Men

• Why mourning X-Men 97 is like losing a foreign lover

• Lodro has a Star Wars name

• Wolverine loves to smoke cigars and stab little girls...and he’s all out of cigars

• Power Pack loves to hang out in sewers

• We all know why Manson removed one of his own ribs right?

• Kitty can be in charge and if Wolverine has to kill a couple Morlocks as a result of her bad leadership it's not the end of the world

• The many teams of baby soldiers Xavier made us forget

• If you live in a sewer why are you going to dress your kid in a tube top?

Cro Magnons are going to HATE this episode but everyone should give it a listen anyway.

Adam Koussari-Amin is co-host of the weekly podcast, Homo Superior, which provides smart analysis and dumb jokes about the latest and greatest of X-Men and MCU content. When he’s not running his mouth, you can catch him DJing around Washington, DC, or cuddling on the couch with his partner and his dog watching horror movies and playing video games. The excellent meme-game discussed in this episode can be found here.

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.

Joining us this week is long-time friend of our host/medical professional/voodoo practitioner and guide Marina Acosta to discuss a very BDSM Morlock wedding.

Angel has been kidnapped and is destined to marry Callisto, leader of the Morlocks...unless the X-Men can come in at that point where an officiant goes "Does anyone object?" and save the day that way.

Also in this issue:

• American voodoo traditions

- Marina is kinda on the Morlocks' side and also sort of confused by how comics work

• Cyclops is upset about Madelyne Pryor looking exactly like his dead ex girlfriend...but gets over it in one minute flat

• the X-Men consistently forget that the Morlocks exist the moment they are out of sight

• Nightcrawler has a beautifully symmetrical face

• What do Cyclops and Caliban have in common (they both have been worn as sweaters except for Cyclops - bad joke sorry)?

• a truly beautiful knife fight

• Cyclops loves wearing sunglasses at night

And we answer the question our guest asks: "Are the X-Men good guys?"

Marina Acosta is a full scope primary care nurse practitioner, specializing in polycystic ovarian syndrome and ADHD. Separately, she is a New Orleans Voodoo practitioner, focused on honoring traditional rituals, ingredients, and recipes. She is a mom, a wife and a collector of stationary. Here's her Instagram!
