X-Reads: An X-Men Experience

Daniel Marin, the voice behind Prince Namor in Marvel Rivals, joins us this week to talk about stepping into the role of Marvel’s iconic sea king. With over 40 million players since launch, Rivals is making serious waves—and Daniel breaks down how he brought Namor’s strength, pride, and bite to life. We also swap gameplay tips to help you master the Atlantean in the arena. Then we rewind to where it all began: X-Men #6 "Sub-Mariner Joins the Evil Mutants!", the comic that marks Namor’s very first crossover into the world of mutants. Both Xavier and Magneto try to pull him into their ranks, but Namor’s never been one to follow orders. Between a crush on Scarlet Witch and a clash with Magneto, things go sideways fast. It’s voiceover insights meets vintage Marvel chaos—come for the strategy, stay for the Sub-Mariner attitude. Dive deep into Namor’s legacy, from the battlefield of Rivals to the pages of Marvel’s past. Find us on the AIPT Podcast Network.

With Daredevil: Born Again hitting Disney+, we’re setting our radar on one of Daredevil’s most dangerous foes—Typhoid Mary! This isn’t just any villain origin; it’s a fever dream of seduction, fire, and psychological torment, all wrapped up in Ann Nocenti’s signature surrealism. We break down the chaos of Typhoid Mary’s first appearance, where she juggles murder, mind control, and a garbage strike (yes, really), all while catching the eye of the Kingpin himself. And because this is X-Reads, we’re diving into her mutant status and why she’s one of the most unique villains to walk the line between X-Men and Daredevil. Does Typhoid Mary out-crazy the Kingpin? Is Matt Murdock too distracted to see what’s coming? And most importantly, what does this mean for her future in the MCU? Press play before the garbage piles up! Find us on the AIPT Podcast Network.

What’s a birthday without a little existential dread and a surprise demon attack? This week, we’re joined by Phil Taylor (a.k.a. One True Nerd King) to unpack New Mutants #14, where Illyana Rasputin goes from traumatized teen to Queen of Limbo in record time. The New Mutants try (and fail spectacularly) to take down S’ym, Professor X gets absolutely wrecked, and somehow, a party still happens. Oh, and Xavier casually STANDS UP AND STARTS DANCING, because why not? Meanwhile, Kitty Pryde’s bestie Doug Ramsey has major news—but it comes with a one-way ticket to the Massachusetts Academy… and straight into the Hellfire Club’s clutches. Demonic duels, surprise teleports, and a living room that will never be the same—this issue is wild. But has Illyana just taken her first real step toward becoming the Darkchild? Let’s break it all down! Find us on the AIPT Podcast Network. Follow our show to be alerted when new episodes appear the first and third Wednesday of the month.

This week, we’re absolutely geeking out because George Buza—the legendary voice of Beast from X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men ‘97—joins us! We talk all things Hank McCoy, his return to the role, and dive into Beauty and the Beast #2, where Beast and Dazzler’s short-lived romance takes a wild turn into gladiator-style chaos. George shares stories from his time voicing Beast, what it’s like stepping back into the X-Men universe after all these years, and his thoughts on the complex, brilliant, and oh-so-quotable Hank McCoy.
