Almost an X-Man

Charles is a Horrible Human - Almost an X-Man Ep. 47

Dazzler versus the X-Men?! Well, two of them. In this issue, Alison takes her first serious steps toward becoming the hero others imagined she would become. So why is she duking it out with other protagonists? Surely there must be some mistake, or another kind of reckless reason...
Plus: Sexy dodge rolling. A pommel horse. And Professor X is kind of a d*#k.

Ghost(Friend) in the Shell - Almost an X-Man Ep. 46

Alison has another Scooby-Doo-esque caper on her hands. A visit to the home of a childhood friend turns into a thrilling mystery. Kinda. Maybe more of a horror slasher than a mystery.
Plus: Sega’s unreleased console. Channeling the spirit of Biggie Smalls. And everyone should stop using the word, ‘lovers’.

The Deadliest Hobo - Almost an X-Man Ep. 45

Alison meets the most dangerous villain in the MARVEL Universe. Yeah, I said it. 
He makes Thanos look like Gordon Shumway. By comparison, he makes Victor Von Doom look as soft as a loaf of Van de Kamp’s bread. A man so sinister, Norman Osborn wears underwear with his face on them. 
Plus: Matt and RJ bask in the greatness of Tatterdemalion.

Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting - Almost an X-Man Ep. 44

And we're back! The boys took a week off to binge half a season of X-Men '97. Why would they lie about that? Blame it on X-Men '97. Or Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Anyway, Dazzler is back in her main series! Back to her apartment, her job drama, and her detachable skates! In this issue though, she's not the only one on skates... Well, no one else wears skates in the issue, but they do for their jobs. I'm out of practice and this is a silly issue, you'll see. 
Plus: Matt teaches a computer illiterate lady the meaning of discrimination at the store. And another Jackie Robinson reference on Jackie Robinson Day kills R.J. a little more inside.

Doom's Gambit - Almost an X-Man Ep. 43

The thrilling conclusion of Beauty and the Beast opens with an unbelievable twist! Unlikely heroes skip into action, new alliances form, and a deadly chess match comes to a head! Will Alison and Hank's love survive? I mean, it seems unhealthy if I'm being honest. Their relationship, really this whole ordeal.

Weird Science - Almost an X-Man Ep. 42

Alison and Hank are crazy in love! We missed the moment that this happened, but trust us, it happened. Their whirlwind romance is being put to the test by Alison’s job in the seedy underbelly of Hollywood. Hank suspects there is treachery afoot, but can he convince Alison to leave before she gets in over her head? 
Plus: Matt’s Walking Dead review. Village People Combat Theatre. And a cool guy sets off car alarms in RJ’s neighborhood.

His Name Wasn't Robert Paulson - Almost an X-Man Ep. 41

Dazzler meets a lot of new faces in this issue, but not all of them make it out alive. There is Beast. A weird little mime kid named Link. A sad-sack named Mickey who is haunted, kinda? A flower girl. Some green broad named Ivich. This issue really whips around. (Foreshadowing)
Plus: An underground Mutant fight club in Hollywood. RJ thinks white panties are boring. And Matt's German accent.

Dazzler Meets BoJack Ray Bill - Almost an X-Man Ep. 40

Dazzler's adventures pick up with a new mini-series. This time around, she's sharing the stage with the one and only Hank McCoy, a.k.a. Beast! It is a story. Doom has the first page. It's all over the place. Kind of like a burrito when it breaks and you get piping hot beans all over your lap.
Plus: Some dude named Hugo Longride. Beast fights a horsey dude. And Simon Williams, a.k.a. Wonder Man!

History of the World, Part Two and a Half - Almost an X-Man Ep. 39

In the thrilling conclusion of Dazzler: The Movie (The Graphic Novel), Matt and R.J. re-write American History. Later, drunk on Dazzler, the boys answer the first question from the inbox in the yet to be named, Dazzler Book Club Q&A segment.
Plus: Jackie Robinson is evoked. Again.

The Misappropriation of Jackie Robinson - Almost an X-Man Ep. 38

In Part II of Dazzler: The Movie (The Graphic Novel), the story and our protagonist take a sharp turn, and the Jackie Robinson comparisons start. I $#!^ you not. Happy Black History Month? Yeah, we feel weird about this one.
Plus: Seriously. Jackie Robinson comes up.
