The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Giant-Size X-Men #1. This was the re-introduction of the title with new heroes, an early exercise in diversity in comics. We talk about the history of the title, some different character stories, the issue's impact on the X-Men and comics in general, and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
 
Announcements:
Come hang out with us! We usually have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website

What we're up to this week:
The DC/Diamond breakup, speculating about retail comics, the music industry parallel?, HBOMax and the Looney Tunes controversy, new Perry Mason series coming soon, how we watch TV these days, Invasion of the Star Creatures (1962), music documentaries from the Classic Albums series (Pet Sounds and Apostrophe/Overnite Sensation), the podcast interview with Peter Cetera from last week (and a little tangent on Chicago again), Doomed: The Untold Story of the Fantastic Four, Chris Claremont's X-Men documentary
