PhantomTroublemaker, Beth, and Chad J. Shonk discuss Marvel’s MerryMutants – the X-Men!
Overthe years the corner of the Marvel Universe that was not occupied bythe Avengers has been a place of almost constant change. Evolution,one might say.

Thepopularity of the mutants was such that Hollywood made them one ofthe first success stories of the comic book movie boom.

The newestentry – X-Men:Apocalypse– comes out today and looks to be one of the most divisive entriesso far!
Listenin as Beth, Chad, and Phantom discuss the evolution of theirindividual X-Men fandom and the success – or lack thereof – ofthe various movie adaptations!
