Season 5: Episode 30: Wicked Spaurxx

Season 6: Episode 4: Farewell, My X-Men

Inferno #4 This week, the last week, the guys discuss Disney+’s Hawkeye finale as well as MCU’s latest banger, Spiderman: No Way Home.  After that the guys dig into Inferno #4.  First, as an individual issue, and then, what it meant to the event as a whole, and finally, Inferno as a larger part of Hickman’s run.  Was the issue good?  Is the payoff there for the set up?  What might this story have looked like if Hickman had full access?  After that, the guys recap the end of an era.  What characters and books meant something, the ups, the downs, just all of it.  Finally, a short send off as the guys discuss the long run of the podcast as a whole before signing off one final time. Thank you to everyone that has listened over the years.

Season 6: Episode 3: To the Pit With Q!

Inferno #3 This week the guys discuss their interest level in No Way Home’s upcoming release, Dane waxes poetic for way too long on his love of Disney+’s Hawkeye, Spiderman in video games, and brief thoughts on Destiny of X.  It wouldn’t be the eXaMENation podcast if we didn’t talk about Hellions and boy do we have a reason to this episode as the series comes to a close and, surprise, they all love it.  Do you like Cypher spying on the man?  Emma being a badass?  Tensions between Xavier and Erik?  How about time traveling robots from future timelines?  Come on, you’re listening to an X-Men podcast, you know you do.  Well, Inferno has it all, plus a promise to burn it all down.  If you don’t want spoilers, probably skip over Quintin’s prediction because it’s too good not to be right.  As the podcast nears a close, Kelsey and Dane step into the Danger Room again.  But, will they be successful in the penultron episode?  Find out in this week’s episode!

Season 6: Episode 2: Orchis Seems Like a Good Workplace

Inferno #2 This week the guys discuss the No Way Home trailer, specifically the villains teased and who everyone wants to round out a presumed Sinister Six, Quintin’s love affair with the new Guardians of the Galaxy video game, why Adam Warlock is more than just that kid from We’re the Millers, and expectations of the new Lives and Deaths of Wolverine event.  Inferno keeps things blazing, this week focusing on the mystery of how Mystique got Destiny back, what Xavier and Magneto plan to do about this new betrayal, and the newest member of the council rounding them back out to 12.  Once all that’s done, things wrap up with some impromptu discussions of why solicits suck, how costume colors matter to show intentions, and maybe accidentally recorded a recruiting commercial for Orchis.  Enjoy!

Season 6: Episode 1: Inferno Conspiracy - Moira is Hickman

INFERNO #1 THIS IS SEASON 6, THE FINAL SEASON.  FROM HERE ON OUT, WE COVER NOTHING BUT INFERNO AND THEN WE'RE DONE.  CHECK IN AT THE END OF EACH MONTH TO CATCH UP ON INFERNO! This week, the guys discuss What If’s, What if Thor was a frat bro, the upcoming Venom movie and who is going to go see it, the next lawsuit in line for Marvel, who is going to pick up the Guardians of the Galaxy game, and the maybe reveal of Kieron Gillen joining the X-Team.  Inferno pulls out all the stops in an extra large issue.  What has Orchis been up to?  Will Mystique burn it all down?  How will the Council fill vacancies in War Captains and Council members?  Find out this and more in this week’s episode!

Season 5: Episode 30: Wicked Spaurxx

X-Corp #5, X-Men #3, Onslaught Revelation #1 This week, the guys discuss what’s missing from What If’s Killmonger episode (and somehow Hellions comes up) and put out some hopes and predictions for next week’s Inferno debut.  The first arc of X-Corp comes to a close with an action packed issue and more nazi hand holding powers.  The X-Men face off with the High Evolutionary and only make it out after making a deal that will obviously come back to bite them in the future.  Onslaught Revelation wraps up Way of X with some heavy, high concept...REVELATIONS!
