Children Of The Atom - Episode 15
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 48 minutes and 2 secondsHappy New Year, folks! In our first episode of 2014 we're getting stuck into X-Men issue 22 Divided -- We Fall! (July 1966). This was the first issue in which Roy Thomas had full creative autonomy and it's interesting to spot the changes. The X-Men are up against a new super (or not so super) villain collective led by Count Nefaria. Thomas is obviously trying to change things up here and give the readers some fresh material so this is definitely an issue worth a read!
