Okay, I lied in last episode's show notes. We left you on a cliff-hanger again. But I PROMISE we won't do it again here.

Werner Roth is off and running as Stan Lee hands the reigns of the world's strangest super-team over to Roy Thomas! Stan Lee seems to wrap his story up by bringing the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to a pretty final conclusion and introducing The Mimic!

We also talk about:

Magneto treats Toad like shit. Do sulfa drugs do that? What is a Counter-Ego? An anti-mutant mob! Cal Rankin is a dick. Using a MEMORY ENHANCER because you forgot a dude's name. Hot Tub Time Machine. Innuendo in the desert. The Unforgettable Porter Mack! A guy with a gun on his head. And dubious claims of "yester-year."

3 - X-Men #13-17

This episode, Matt and Pat encounter a veritable parade of long-time X-Men villains limping their way into and out of fights with our mutant heroes!

The Blob returns and wrestles everyone! Unus the Untouchable can't smoke a cigarette! The X-Men face off against THE AVENGERS because Professor X is too lazy to tell everyone what's going on. Ka-Zar is gorgeous, but his dinosaur friends aren't. The Stranger is... Strange. And some massive threat makes its way to the X-Mansion while Professor X excitedly tells the X-Men a very very long story.

If you've ever wondered how the X-Men got their start, this is the series of issues where things just start heatin' up!

2 - X-Men #7 - 12

In our INAUGURAL EPISODE, Matt Aukamp and Pat Reber (former hosts of The Very Worst) talk about the first six issues of the X-Men, from 1966. Written by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby and drawn by Jack Kirby, these first six issues introduce our main cast - Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl, plus their teacher and mentor Professor X. We also meet Magneto, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Blob, and a human pyramid!

Listen to the humble (read: ridiculous) origins of your favorite mutants and their obsessions with ice cream, their weird verbal ticks (YAYBO!), their fights with random animals, and their extreme disrespect for the US Army. We find out that Professor X is a creep. Cyclops ruins cake. Magneto has every power possible. And Jack Kirby loves to draw a boat.
