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.
This week we have podcast host and author Daryl Richard Lawrence on the show to discuss X-Factor Files and his newest book True North: A Complete Reference Guide and Analysis of Alpha Flight's First Volume.

We discuss what it's like to host a podcast with your spouse, why anyone should care about Alpha Flight and his birth month and year issue (Uncanny X-Men 202) where Rachel Grey fights the Beyonder!

Also in this episode:

• Secret Wars II: Electric Boogaloo
• the Beyonder was so mean to Nightcrawler
• Colossus rips his pajamas when you call his name
• and Wolverine sleeps in a kimono

All this plus a Days of Future Past retrospective thanks to the jheri curled Beyonder. What does any of it mean for Daryl's future? Tune in to find out!

Daryl Richard Lawrence is an author in his spare time, which is divided between that, hosting the X-Factor Files podcast with his husband Phillip, reading, gardening, and spoiling his pet rabbits. He is also the Programming Director for The Uncanny Experience. His previous books include one about Linda Ronstadt's solo career and a dual biography of two of his ancestors. He lives in the North Star state of Minnesota and his new book True North: A Complete Reference Guide and Analysis of Alpha Flight's First Volume came out on July 1st.
