Podcast Episode 038. X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills

 

The X-men were a sort of Lee/Kirby also-ran for many years, sitting awkwardly between the sci-fi family styling of the Fantastic Four and the superhero dynamics of the Avengers. Now the X-Men are a longstanding staple at Marvel, with innumerable spin-offs and series. What are they all about though?

In God Loves, Man Kills, Chris Claremont attempts to tell the quintessential X-Men story as a stand alone graphic novel. God Loves, Man Kills tells a story of prejudice, extremism, and organized religion that served as the basis for at least one blockbuster movie. Does it hold up? Is it good? Should you go read (or reread) it?
