On the premise of talking what social themes have been expressed through the years on X-Men comics and how that has been tackled, our usual Mutant Watchers Duna and Gabriel were joined last Saturday by Sandy Jimenez, artist, writer and director whose politically poignant work has been going on since the 90s, and impromptu guest Rhayne from Carefree Black Nerd, a podcast about representation in comics & related media.
The chat goes from the powerful messages on humanizing and politicizing mutanthood, to stories like the Genosha or Legacy Virus arcs, God Loves, Man Kills, Heroes For Hope Starring The X-Men and more, to other forms of media like The Animated Series, and always back at to what these stories tell us about the issues in the world that surrounds us.
So ICYMI: Here is MUTANT WATCH EP 14 Social Commentary on the X-Men feat. Sandy Jimenez
