The second episode of our X-Men series drops a big old philosophical, religious, and racial bomb on us with “God Loves, Man Kills” by stalwart Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson. Aside from being prodigal mutants-as-metaphor-for-racism story, this graphic novel features some of the most cinematic panel work of its day and is a really pleasure to read. Well, except for the grotesque, violent murder of children and babies. Also, Magneto knows how to make an entrance. For information on past or future shows, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!

We finally wrap up our “Hosts’ Choice” series by reading Guardians of the Galaxy by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning with art by Paul Pelletier. A latter follow-up to Annihilation, the Guardians come together to stop the hemorrhaging of their universe but soon they’ll find out that they’re a little in over their head. We talk about the team’s chemistry, the moral implications of telepathic persuasion, pacifist skrulls, and the Universal Church of Truth. Convert or die! I BELIEVE!
