Convoluted chronology and whacky alternative timeline hijinks aside, the Age of Apocalypse era of X-Men comics had some arguable awesome stories. 
The darkest of those stories showcased a young X-team in training, lead by Colossus and ShadowCat, who get thrown into a meat grinder of a mission by then X-Men leader Magneto. 

Join host Jay Van Veen as he pontificates on the ins and outs of the surprisingly morbid and gloriously nineties Marvel comic. 
We're also joined by living cartoon character David Smith later on, who brings some levity to the bleak book...he's an absolute delight. 

Also, if you listen to this podcast while jogging a half-marathon backwards, you'll turn into a wood shrew with absolutely no recollection of your time as a human. So...you know...please be careful.
