Alex Dvorak: The X-Men Meditation Issue - Uncanny X-Men 258

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. Your favorite graphic novelist you don't know yet, Alex Dvorak, joins our host Lodro Rinzler to discuss ACTS OF VENGEANCE, which is basically the comic equivalent of slamming action figures together. In this case, Wolverine fights the Mandarin...and Betsy Braddock in an ambiguously Asian new body! Huh? But wait! It's also the X-Men Meditation Issue. As if that's not enough going on, additional topics include: how does Psylocke even get that strappy banded outfit on? Wolverine sometimes just says things that he thinks sounds cool Jubilee dresses exactly like Batman's sidekick Robin sometimes your powers just sound like "Zappa dappa doo!" Banshee's arch enemy is the white noise machine in a kid's nursery What does any of this mean for Alex's future? Tune in to find out! Alex Dvorak is a multicultural screenwriter and journalist published in The Washington Post, HuffPost, POPSUGAR, and many more. She is the author of a Mad Cave Studios YA graphic novel set to be published in 2025. Alex's narrative short film BAD SURVIVOR, inspired by her first 24 hours in cancer remission, premiered at the 2024 Big Apple Film Festival in NYC. As the daughter of immigrants from clashing cultures, a teen cancer survivor, and a former runway model, Alex writes stories of teen rebellion based on real-life experiences with authenticity, dark humor, and heart.
