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 co-host of the x-cellent podcast Homo Superior Khelan Bhatia joins our host for a massive fight between the X-Men, the Imperial Guard, a Soul Drinker and Lodro's liver.

Based on Khelan's birth month and year issue - Uncanny X-Men 107 - we get into the X-Men's chaotic fight to save reality as we know it from the Mad Emperor D'Ken. Also in this episode:

• how the only way to save humanity was founding the Homo Superior podcast

• Khelan is an enCyclopspedia

• the best x-crossover

• Lodro explains Inferno in 30 seconds

• Aliens!

• Wolverine gets his clothes burned off, so he steals someone else’s from their body

• Al Ewing should write a Soul Drinker mini

• Professor X and Lilandra are basically Jim and Pam on The Office

• Khelan would be a much better space emperor than Lilandra

...all this and which Summers brothers would Khelan date? What does this mean for his future? Tune in to find out!

Khelan Bhatia is one of the founders of Homo Superior, a podcast with five obsessive queers unapologetically dishing about the X-Men and the MCU. The co-hosts offer smart analysis and dumb jokes weekly. Khelan's been an X-Men fan for so long that he's practically an enCyclopspedia about mutant lore. When he isn't podcasting, he has a lucrative hobby as a DJ and works in political advocacy as a campaign director. He wanted it clear in his bio that he believes Magneto was right.

This week we are joined by the extremely talented comic book writer Al Ewing!

We discuss his incredible run on X-Men with a focus on the death and resurrection of Magneto, writing Storm as the powerhouse she is and creating a cohesive framework for the cosmic side of Marvel. It's not to be missed.

We dive into his birth month and year issue - Uncanny X-Men 106 - where the new X-Men have to fight the old X-Men who are just being jerks. Wait - are these even the original X-Men? Or are they manifestations of THE ENTITY? And what does any of this mean for Al's future? Tune in to find out!

Al Ewing is a British comic book writer known for his inventive storytelling, sharp dialogue, and deep character work across a whole range of genres. He gained recognition for his work at 2000 AD before making a significant impact over at Marvel Comics, where he redefined characters like the Hulk in Immortal Hulk, a critically acclaimed horror-infused exploration of identity and trauma. Ewing has also written extensively for Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men Red, and The Ultimates, showcasing his ability to blend cosmic grandeur with thought-provoking themes. His work is celebrated for its literary depth, bold experimentation, and nuanced social commentary, making him one of the most compelling voices in modern comics. He can be found on Bluesky too!
