Welcome Back To Class, Students! For todays lecture, your professors are kicking off the semester with a close reading of one of our favorite under appreciated gems of the Krakoa era: Vita Ayala, Bernard Chang, and Paco Medina's Children of the Atom!

Topics in this episode include: Who are the Children of the Atom? How can the Mutant Metaphor evolve when placed under the lens of those without an X-gene? Are the youth okay? How can someone be an ally while still perpetuating harmful views? And more!

Content Warning: Discussions in this episode briefly mention homophobia.

You can follow Mutant Studies 101 on Twitter and TikTok @Mutant101POD and Morgan @beakerbarnes!

As always, we'd like to thank Hayden (@mcuwaititi) and Ollie (@Olliephresh) for our graphic design and theme music, respectively.
