Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.

This week we have your favorite cosplay couple's favorite cosplay couple joining us - cohosts of the Adventures in Geekdom podcast and partners in life Michelle Waffle-Otero and Justin Otero come on the pod to discuss their WEDDING issue!

What does Kruun of Breakworld methodically taking out the X-Men mean for their relationship? Tune in to find out!

In the early 2000s, long before Justin Otero and Michelle Waffle Otero became recognizable faces in the cosplay community, their shared love for comics and toys set the foundation for their unique bond, as they quickly realized their love for comics, classic 80s toys, and all things Marvel.

Their very first attempt at cosplay was at their nephew’s 5th birthday party. The theme? Superheroes! Very funny story, they tell it this week. Over the years, they’ve become not just partners in life but in their shared passions—whether it’s moderating panels, guesting on podcasts, or good ol fashioned toy hunting. They’ve grown into a team that embodies what it means to live and love in the world of comics and cosplay.
