Xtinction Agenda

Xtinction Agenda isn"t for everyone. It"s a book club and a movie club and a place for people to talk TV and comic books. But nothing too new. It"s a rough place where tired old dads tackle pop culture artifacts of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s (mostly). Not a lot of hand-holding as a consequence. These are not introductions to pop culture but discussions about it. As such, we expect the audience to have some degree of experience. Basically then, if you"re a hotdog and you"re looking for a mustache

X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga

Xtinction Agenda ·

2020/01/13

James and James finally get down to talking about Claremont and Byrne's X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga. And it ain't pretty. Then, in a bid to cleanse themselves of middle class fantasies gone awry, they review Percy and Cassara's X-Force #3 (2019). "This is where old discos go to die."

Kurt Busiek - Astro City: Confession

Xtinction Agenda ·

2019/12/24

This Christmas, James and James visit Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson, and Alex Ross in Astro City: Confession, where they are confronted with possibly the best Robin story that was ever put to paper. Then, in an effort to better understand Mark Waid, they head on over to Classics Corner, where Jim Shooter and Curt Swan present them with Adventure Comics #369-370 (1968). We mispronounce the villain's name over and over again. It's embarrassing. "What is more important? the burdens we bear--or the way we

Peter David - X-Factor and Star Trek

Xtinction Agenda ·

2019/12/18

James and James talk Peter David in his political comedic mode, looking at X-Factor #71-75 (1991), and in his pastoral-sentimental mode in Star Trek Annual #3 (1988). Larry Stroman dazzles at the same time that he confuses, while Curt Swan shows what has been and always will be the G.O.A.T. Let's go, Scotty. Now.

Peter Milligan / Mike Allred - X-Statix #1-5

Xtinction Agenda ·

2019/12/11

In this episode, James and James return to Peter Milligan and Mike and Laura Allred's X-Statix #1-5 (2002). It's pretty amazing. Then, just for fun, they read a story that James recommended to James: a three-part story entitled Red Glass that ran in Superman #56, Adventures of Superman #479, and Action Comics #666. Our greatest enemy...is cynicism.

Joss Whedon - Astonishing X-Men

Xtinction Agenda ·

2019/11/27

This time 'round, James and James are confronted with the poorly-designed Ord of Breakworld, and the otherwise charming script of Joss Whedon in Astonishing X-Men (2004) #1-6. Cassady is, for the most part, on point, even if this book heralds another decade of worthless X-Men stories. Then, they trek on over to 'general culture,' and an episode from the second season of Millennium, "Somehow, Satan Got Behind Me." Darin Morgan does it again. This is who we are.

Then, having thoroughly enjoyed the exploits of Waller, Flag, and co., the two intrepid adventurers then find themselves in the mountains of Calgary and the back alleys of Tokyo, as they return to... Wolverine #1. It's pretty okay. Night time, Sheba. We Smooth. Peel.

Then, with their trusty web shooters, they swing on over to Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's surprisingly provocative Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #3, 9, 13, and 15. It's all about power and responsibility folks.

This week James and James take a gander at Mark Millar's Ultimate X-Men (2001) #1-6. Then, moving from one toxic cesspool into the next, they dive into Chuck Dixon's Team 7 (1994) #1-4. Looks like Craven sold us out again.

We then question the existence of Dale Keowan's Pitt #1 (1993) Lang is an unhinged loser, Magneto is a petty madman, and Pitt suuuuux.
