Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future.

In this episode the Znox invade Earth and only one man can fake his own death to stop them: Charles Xavier! Yes we're doing an early tale in the X-Men's history where the Original Five (alongside Polaris and Havok, who Bobby calls "Little Tin Hitler") form the VERY FIRST mutant circuit to beam love at the aliens and save the day.

Also in this episode:

• the Punisher has committed every single homicide in NYC ever
• Morph from X-Men 97 has a cameo...no that's a typo he has cancer...wait maybe both
• Douglas' really good Fall of X theory...who is Inmate X?

What does Uncanny X-Men 65 say about Douglas' future / what role does compassion have when our backs are against the wall? Tune in to find out!
