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. How do the struggles of Tom Skylark and company teach us about avoiding "doomerism" and staying hopeful? You're not going to want to miss this episode!

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. You won't want to miss our SEASON 1 FINALE: and yes, there will be a Season 2 where we WILL get to Here Comes Tomorrow.
