To finish up my Pride Month coverage on the show I'm delighted to welcome back one of my favorite show veterans, the Fantastic Steve Foxe. Steve has been super busy, recent project drops include Dead X-Men, Dark X-Men, X-Men 97, and Spider-Woman and he's got a slate of more Marvel books coming out. Short term that includes the four issue X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse with artist Netho Diaz and the Psylocke: Blood Hunt one shot with artist Lynne Yoshii. Plus, he's got a new Editor gig with James Tynion's Tiny Onion production house. We get into all of that in today's episode and work in some time to talk about the legacy of the Krakoan Era, how big of an impact comics can have on queer representation, the big ol' slate of Spider books he's writing coming out later in 2024, why he hasn't had time to yet watch the new X-Men cartoon, and what his favorite film is this month (spoiler, The Crow) where I sadly butcher Bruce Lee's history.
Make sure to sign up for Steve's newsletter to stay up to date with all the latest.
From the publisher X-Men: Blood Hunt - Psylocke
Ninja vs. vampires! After serving on the frontlines in the war against Orchis, Kwannon is enjoying some much-deserved downtime with her new lover Greycrow. But when darkness falls across Japan, Psylocke will wield her psionic blade against blood-sucking creatures of legend and faces a foe unlike any she’s ever seen. An all-new villain emerges in the mayhem of BLOOD HUNT!
From the publisher Heir of Apocalypse
For centuries, Apocalypse tested the mutants of Earth to guarantee that only the strong would survive. Now, as he takes his throne on Arakko, another must rise in his place and ensure the mutants of Earth do not grow weak in his absence! Twelve mutants chosen from the X-Men's greatest heroes—and villains—will compete for the honor, but only one can become... the HEIR OF APOCALYPSE!
