Summary

Hey there, Zalagang!

Today I'm joined by returning guests Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing to discuss their new miniseries Giant-Size X-Men, a 50th anniversary celebration of the iconic 1975 Len Wein and Dave Cockrum classic.

Spinning out of their recently-concluded title NYX, this series of one-shots follows Kamala Khan on a wild time-bending ride through X-Men history. After some NYX debriefing, we dig deep into today's Giant-Size X-Men #1, exploring what this new twist on an old story means for Ms. Marvel and for the world of X as a whole.

This episode contains FULL SPOILERS for Giant-Size X-Men #1 (2025), so please read the issue before listening.
