Erica Schultz: The Alien Captain America - Uncanny X-Men 105

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. Erica Schultz, comic writer extraordinaire, joins our host Lodro Rinzler for the Season 2 finale of X-Men Horoscopes! We dive into the classic X-Men issue 105 where Jean finally figures out she's a giant cosmic bird. Eric the Red (FML that I have to explain Eric the Red) has manipulated the former herald of Galactus Firelord - basically if a matchstick took the form of a person - into taking out the X-Men and only Jean can sort of stop them! We also get a sneak peek at Erica's new series: Laura Kinney the Wolverine, hitting stands this December. Also in this episode: Who is the alien Captain America? What cause will Erica flip her own desk over to defend? Why the new Wolverine series has an all-female creative team Firelord is just a giant matchstick who won't stop talking about the last job he was fired from Eric the Red is the reason Lodro drinks Erica yells at Lodro about his categorization of New York City neighborhoods Jean has the most expensive apartment in NYC and now her security deposit is gone Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum fight on panel Cyclops sees Jean's new power and is torn between "this is sexy" and "I'm terrified" and has lived there ever since Misty Knight gets a bad break in the roommate department This and much more in the finale of Season 2 for X-Men Horoscopes!
