Crushing Comics Podcast, Episode 0063: This Week in X, 26 May 2021

It's This Week in X for 26 May, 2021! Join Peter, Fariha, & Tyler as we discuss X-Men (2019) #20 and New Mutants (2019) #18. We took a deep, DEEP dive into both of this week's issues! First, on X-Men #20, we discussed the prevailing theme of lost love, Mystique's motivations, creating terrorists (and your own worst enemies), worst weapons, interventionism, impotent bigots, inadvertently causing your destruction, and burning it all down. Then, for New Mutants #18, we discussed the themes of self-image, bodily autonomy, and the haves-and-have-nots of Krakoa and how each of those three themes weave through the various "debates" in the issue. Spoiler warning - we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from this week, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.
