Chad, the host of Graymalkin Lane Podcast, joins Chris and Chandler to delve into the alternate universe of X-Men: First Class #1. This retelling of the original five mutants at Xavier’s is modernized (slightly) and the first issue is told through the perspective of Iceman. It’s a great issue, but fun moments of humor and action. Graymalkin Lane Podcast is all about queer friends reviewing the original X-Men comics from the 1960s. Check out Chad and his show as well!
