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 are joined by the charming and effervescent Anthony Oliveira, writer of Avengers Academy (Lodro's fav comic right now).

Anthony was born in the month coinciding with Uncanny X-Men 183 where Colossus breaks up with 14 year-old Kitty Pryde and boy are the X-Men pissed about it.
