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.

Writer Kelly Thompson joins our host Lodro Rinzler for the Trial of Colossus! He passes, don't worry. Kelly has just been nominated for five (5!) Eisner awards and here we discuss the comic-writing process for X-Comics alongside her creator-owner work, with a special focus on how her mini-series ties into Gambit and Rogue getting married.

Also in this episode:

• X-Men going to therapy
• Storm goes to Harlem and does NOT like it
• Everyone is running errands
• Cyclops dating Colleen Wing for 1 whole minute and then forgetting she exists
• Don't do drugs (or Storm will beat you up)
• Hot takes on Betsy Braddock

Kelly Thompson has written novels such as The Girl Who Would Be King and Storykiller and comic fans may know her voluminous work on everything from Jem and the Holograms to Jessica Jones to Deadpool to Black Widow to It’s Jeff to Hawkeye to some of our all time favorites, a 50 issue run on Captain Marvel, an intense stint on Uncanny X-Men and two Gambit and Rogue mini-series: Ring of Fire and Mr. and Mrs. X.
