This Week in X - 20 January, 2021 (Patreon)

Hello, Patrons!

This marks the first time in a few years I am sharing exclusive video content via Patreon! Don't worry - comic guide content is still the primary exclusive for your support of this Patreon. Since I am also producing regular YouTube content, I want to bring some of that to you as well.

This video is the unabridged "This Week in X" podcast about X-Men books out on 20 January 2021 - X-Force #16 and Cable #7. This version includes our complete intro/outro discussion, which is only available on video here on Patreon. You can also exclusively access last week's episode.

I've been moderating a revival of my "This Week in X" (TWiX) show since the beginning of the "X of Swords" crossover in September. TWiX is an extensive weekly deep dive into every new in-continuity X-Men issue out from Marvel. I used to host it as a solo recap show back in 2018, but now it is now a panel discussion with a rotating cast of my friends Tyler, Fariha, and Harry. 

(You might know them from our HiX-Men Report dissections of House of X / Powers of X in 2019. Fariha has also been a frequent guest on my channel.)

After the end of "X of Swords" in November, we started breaking our weekly discussions into individual issue episodes. This lets us keep them closer to ~30m length, plus give them punchier and more-specific titles and sharing images.

Since making that change, the only way to get the full, unabridged chat has been listening to the show as a podcast. It includes our introductory banter as well as some of the longer rants cut for length from the individual issue videos. The podcast is available on our RSS feed, Spotify, Stitcher, PodChaser, Apple Podcasts, and Podcast Addict!

For the next few weeks, I'll be posting the video version of said podcast here on Patreon. It will absolutely be THE FIRST PLACE to see/hear our discussions at the EARLIEST TIME and WITHOUT ADS. I mix and upload this full video version first as I make notes on how to break up the recording into individual episodes and what to write in the Podcast post.

I know this content is specific to folks who care about current X-books and who enjoy podcast discussions, neither of which are the primary focus of this campaign! If you just scroll past it, that totally cool with me.

If you like the idea of video content but want to see something else, please say so! As I continue to share video content it might become specific to a certain tier, for during this early experiment it is available to all Patrons.
