So Jay the manites are like the next big thing in X-Men right?

That was certainly someone's intent. You know it's funny for such a big deal I don't remember them like at all.

That would be because they never appear again after this mini series.

What? I'm Jay Eddin and I'm Milstokes and we are here to explain the X-Men because it's about time someone did

Welcome to episode 465 of Jay and Miles explain the X-Men where we walk you through the ins, outs, and the retcons of comics greatest superhero soap opera.

And welcome to Astonishing X-Men, no not the one from Age of Apocalypse and also not the Joss Whedon run. This is the one in the middle, the other one.

I would like to object to the title of this series. This is not an astonishing series,

nor are the X-Men particularly astonishing within it.

If it is astonishing anything, it is astonishingly dull.

I mean, I feel like that's not necessarily the way to have our listeners not just skip the

episode.

We're going to make a good episode

listeners. You're going to love this episode we hope.

Maybe. But it's true. It's a, so I'd never read this before.

This is the famous series where spoiler for like the rest of the episode Wolverine dies

spoiler for stuff we've already been talking about it's not really Wolverine it turns

out but like it should be a big deal it's an interesting cast of characters who all

have interesting histories and relationships together.

There's a new scary villain with a great visual design.

Wolverine freaking dies.

It should be a big deal.

It's a mini series.
