Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0042: Epic X-Men Re-Read – Uncanny X-Men (1963) #116-117

Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME! In this episode we read Uncanny X-Men (1963) #116-117 and back-up stories that fit during after #116 in Classic X-Men (1986) #22-23 (but NOT a contemporaneous story from #24, which we're saving until later). The X-Men agree to assist Ka-Zar in liberating the Savage Land from Garrok's control before setting sail for any sign of non-Antarctic land. Meanwhile, Xavier flashes back to a day in his past with two significant first contacts - with Storm and Amahl Farouk, The Shadow King! Our conversation on issue #117 includes thorough spoilers for House of X and Powers of X, plus some implied spoilers about certain characters participating in current X-books.
