Wolverine is… still fighting Vampires? Ya kidding me? Don’t we have a Gala to prepare for or something?
This time out Cranky Chris complains about this story that refuses to end… and wonders how much longer it’s going to go. Oh yeah, we also go to friggin Otherworld for the third time this month, so I’ll complain about that too!
At least there’s our always X-Cellent Mailbag… and our “This Week in X” segments!

Hi Chris, sorry I've been gone so long but I'm back with my comments. I've had a tough few weeks in various ways and I've fallen way behind on X-Lapsed but I'm determined to keep following every episode it just might take me a while. I have no intention of becoming X-Lapsed-Lapsed. Podbean is telling me that I have 47 episodes to listen to so I don't see me catching up anytime soon but I'll keep going.
I was so glad to see you re-launching your Patreon. $5 a month seems an absolute bargain for all the great episodes you do. Just so you know I am specifically sending you the money that I am not spending on X-Corp every month. Sadly it is available on Marvel Unlimited so I still get to read it.
Onto this issue of Wolverine I suppose we can say this isn't as bad as X-Corp. Every single one of your criticisms is valid – the vampire nation plot has gone on way too long and I wasn't that invested when it started. It's all a bit blah!
Well that was an incisive commentary, I bet you're glad I'm back.
