Look, we're all living in a badly-wounded orphan universe, so strap in and get ready for some Phoenix Work. Josie and Becca are back from their holiday time-skip with the final arc of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, the eponymous Here Comes Tomorrow! The girls explore this unfortunately-relevant arc, full of hope in the face of Sublime's fascist takeover.

Episode 14: Planet X (feat. Asher Elbein) (New X-Men 146-150)

Magneto is back? Xorn isn't real??? You better believe it, kids! It's a scary new world in New York City, but luckily, Josie and Becca are joined by a real Magneto expert: writer Asher Elbein! This is an important X-Men run that redefined what Magneto could be, for good or for ill, and that means the girls have a lot to talk about.

Episode 13: Assault on Weapon Plus (feat. Tegan O'Neil) (New X-Men 142-145)

We're entering the home stretch of New X-Men and things are getting intense. This week, Josie and Becca break into The World as they launch an Assault on Weapon Plus. Luckily, they're joined by longtime comics critic, Josie's good friend Tegan O'Neil, who is here to guide our girls through the perilous journey. Did this comic change Wolverine forever, or is nothing that permanent in the world of Marvel? How does this arc serve as a foil to "Dust?" And of course, it wouldn't be Here Comes Tomorrow if Becca didn't make this about being transgender!

Episode 12: Murder at the Mansion (feat. Evan Narcisse) (New X-Men 139-141)

It's time for Grant Morrison to ask "whodunnit?" and your hosts to ask "why do we care?" That's right, it's Morrison's cooldown arc from the past few heavy-hitting storylines, Murder at the Mansion! But don't skip this one, listeners, because Josie and Becca are joined by an incredible guest: Marvel comics writer Evan Narcisse! Evan joins the girls to discuss this Bishop-centered story, as well as race and representation in media as a whole. How does this story show us about Grant's views on societal norms, even while trying to return the book to status quo? The real mystery is why you haven't downloaded this episode already!
