Hope you're ready to get weird with it, students! For this summer session, your hosts dig deep into New X-Men Annual 1, The Man From Room X! Joining them is Lord Rinzler (X-Men Horoscopes, You Are Good, You Are Enough) to dig deep into the philosophy of both Xorn and John Sublime!

Topics for this lecture include: How does Xorn function as representation for Buddhism in Marvel, if at all? Does John Sublime's philosophy have any merit? When is body modification seen as good vs. bad? Why can't Jean Grey have sex ever? And so much more!

You can follow Lodro's work @xmenpanelsdaily on Instagram and find his new book You Are Good, You Are Enough out now.
