Kitty & Kurt form Excalibur "some months" after “Mutant Massacre” (long enough for Piotr & Kitty to partially heal & Kurt to wake from “months in a coma”), and after the X-Men die during “Fall of the Mutants” in UXM #227 (1988). 4/10
@magdor @peppard_anna @chrismaverick @ClaremontRun Thank you sooooo much for joining us!!!
Latest ep on #Excalibur #11—out now!—has more gripes: “Besides the misread of Kurt, there's also a female character threatened with sexual assault for the emotional growth of a man. Who doesn't even learn anything. I hate it so much” -@peppard_anna #XMen

Our next ep—out TOMORROW!—on #Excalibur #11 “The Price” has Anna going ham on a hated Nightcrawler scene. (Maybe not for the reasons you think!) As if that wasn't enough—we’re also reunited w/ a dear friend who describes himself as the “Beta Ray Bill of comics & games research”!
Latest ep on #Excalibur #10—out now!—talks villains: "Nazi villains can be lazy storytelling in that they're a stand-in for the greatest evil. You don’t have to explain motivation. As they say in professional wrestling—it’s cheap heat.” -Travis Smith #XMen https://t.co/Ga3kfbZ9gJ
Latest ep on #Excalibur #10—out now!—talks fight choreography: “Superpowers are magic. They make no sense. But superhero battles still need internal logic to convince readers to buy the consequence of the fight.” -@peppard_anna #XMen

Latest ep on #Excalibur #10—out now!—talks satire: “'Silly Nazis' from Hogan’s Heroes or Mel Brooks movies were part of the postwar coping mechanism, where some texts went deliberately light or satirical on very serious subjects.” -Travis Smith #XMen https://t.co/Ga3kfbZ9gJ
Latest ep—out NOW!—on Excalibur #9 talks monster crushes: “Nightcrawler's an attractive monster, esp. when drawn by Alan Davis. I’ve often asked myself, if he was more inhuman, would I still be into it? How monstrous is too monstrous?” -@peppard_anna #XMen https://t.co/Uy0bulbOJh
@comicsgamestalk And Kurt makes a sweet save!
New ep on #Excalibur #8 talks race-shifting: "Shapeshifters mess with race & gender, but it's still humans making this comic. Meggan's race is 'mutant,' but you can't divorce it from the cultural context, where there's a blackface element."-@chrismaverick
