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 on the pod we get inker extraordinaire John Livesay! John's inked the comics you love for over 30 years and we get into his process and advice for anyone hoping to break into the business.

Also on this week's episode:

• Beast goes full BEAST mode (please use an Alyssa Edwards voice if you have it)
• the dreaded reprint era
• Mastermind wants to sell you a pretty rock
• a behind-the-scenes look at comic artists hanging with comic artists
• a beautiful tribute to Jim Shooter by a friend

What does any of this mean for John's future? Tune in to find out!

John Livesay was born in Detroit Michigan and has been a professional comic book artist for the last 32 years. He has worked for just about every comic publisher out there, including Marvel, DC, Image, IDW, and Valiant. He’s also worked on some of the most popular and classic characters in the history of the medium, such as Spider-Man, The Avengers, X-Men, Batman, and The Flash. He’s a huge collector of comics and comic art and has long run out of places to store all his long boxes.
