The HiX-Men Report: Powers of X (2019) #5

September 27, 2019 by krisis

After a contentious week last week, The HiX-Men Report returns to a more harmonious state with Powers of X (2019) #5.

This episode was a lot of fun to record! We were in a more cheerful disposition in general, plus how can you go wrong with an issue centered on a few of these deliciously snarky characters. Also, I got to deliver a “Peter’s Art History Corner” about my favorite work of art in the entire world! Plus, Fangirl gave us a major history lesson.

Oh, and I found a reason to unpack my electric guitar…
