Celebrating eighteen months of X-Lapsed with the Secret Origin of Captain Krakoa!

This is still a story I'm having a hard time getting out of my own way on... but, if I squint and forget that this takes place in a shared and fantastical comic book universe... I can *almost* get it?

Ahoy, Muties... let's put together a new Marauders team!

What's that in the distance?  It's awkward and wildly unnatural dialogue!

What's that even further in the distance?  Well... it's some very interesting ideas I hope to see fleshed out in the next volume!

We've got a bit to talk about...

From Feast to Famine... and back to Feast again!

The sophomore volume of Hickman's flagship is... uneven.  It starts off amazingly strong, with one of the seminal stories of this entire era, and the source for many of our podcast discussions... the introduction of the Crucible!

From there, he wastes a bunch of our time with the Brood, a "funny, ha-ha" with Broo eating an Egg, a Deadly Genesis continuity error that breaks one of the ONLY rules associated with the Resurrection Protocols... then Empyre cash-ins!  At least ONE of those Empyre cash-ins was fun to read!

This is an interesting assortment... I've often wondered how folks who ONLY read the flagship were "receiving" this new era -- here's a chance to find out!

A Devil's Reign tie-in, that feels more like an issue of X-Men than... most issues of X-Men!  That, unfortunately, isn't an indictment on its quality, however... as our titular heroes continue their de-evolution from actual characters to Bendisonian snark-bots!

We've got a great mailbag though!

And now for something completely different!

An issue in which our titular hero takes a backseat to the TRUE star of this half of the series... Moira McTaggert?!

Have you been wondering what she's been up to since her x-ile from Krakoa in Inferno #4?  Well... wonder no more, because we pick up with her right as she's gotten the boot!  It's as bat-spit insane as X Lives... but, with some continuity kvetches that yer humble host just can't get passed... past... whichever is the right word to use there!

Ya boy is also dealing with a hammering of seasonal allergies... so, apologies if I sound even worse than usual today!

We have finally arrived - the Reign of X (and the Reign of the HEAD of X) are firmly in the rear-view, and we can now move forward into the next phase of our Krakoan Epic!

Today... we discuss a bat-spit insane but wonderfully fun first issue of the XLADOW story, wherein our titular hero engages in some Quantum Leaping, mixed with some Assassin's Creeding, with just a dash of Days of Future Pasting.  I have NO idea where this might be headed... and, I can't wait to find out!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and theories on this!

X-Lapsed 3:16 says... it's time to wrap up the Reign of X!

Today we close out the Hickman Era with an issue that feels like it might be about 15% of what the original vision intended for it to be.  It's a fine, fun, and exciting read... but, that's not going to stop us from actually attempting to analyze it!

We got lots to talk about!

Wrapping up volume 1 of the Marauders... with a season/series finale that establishes our status quo moving forward.  It's a bit piecey, and serves as a reminder of how uneven the back-half of this series has been!

It also ends on a cliffhanger... which everybody loves right before we leap into a brand-new #1, right?

Plus: An X-Tended Mailbag, This Week in X, and a look at what's headed our way from Marvel Previews (April, 2022)!

For the first time in two years... it's FALLEN ANGELS day here at the channel - and, if history is any indication, today's the episode even FEWER people will download and listen to!

Ah well... whattayagonnado?  Today we're compiling the story whose only value is that it accidentally (?) led to something pretty interesting in Hellions!  The art's interesting too... so there's that!

Anyhoo, it's three and a half hours of Fallen Angels... which is probably three hours and fifteen minutes longer than anyone else on the planet spent talking about it... possibly even combined!

An episode emblematic of the "X-Lapsed Problem", as it pertains to over-analysis and repetition... and, if THAT doesn't entice you to listen, I don't know what would!

If you DO decide to listen, we'll be wrapping up the eleventy-hundred part Paradise Lost - with a clever gimmick and a slight cliffhanger that I kinda doubt will ever be paid off.  Life of Wolverine continues to be a 90 second read, which leads to about 45 minutes of independent research in order to fill in all the blanks we're left with!

Is there anyone getting anything out of this Quick 'n Dirty look at Wolverine's life?  If so, please lemme know!

The penultimate of Paradise Lost brushes with greatness when we almost get a very special exchange between Juggernaut and Professor X.  Also, Deadpool gets squished a whole bunch.

Meanwhile, Life of Wolverine meanders on... straddling the line between being an illustrated (and incomplete) Wikipedia entry, and an actual story.  It's trying to be both, but succeeding at neither!  We'll stick with it, however, and hope for the best!

On-Sale: July 14, 2020

A world of fantasy and magic awaits... whether we want it or not.

We're about to deep-dive on a book where it's ALL Otherworld, just about ALL the time.  Maybe it'll make more sense in this Triple-Dip "collected" format?  You'll have to let me know!

So, get ready to join Betsy Britain, Ayyyyy, and the whole cast of Excalibur as they... do magic stuff, and muck around with weird royalty.

In the "Season Finale" of Wolverine, our titular hero has himself an inventory story!

But... it's not one'a them Hama-esque Wolverine inventory stories... instead, it's actually paying off a relatively recent story thread outta the pages of X-Force!  Logan faces off with a semi-Lovecraftian Horror... and talks to himself.  I'm probably making it sound really awful, but I assure you - this is a goodie!

And the art!  You definitely wanna see this art... which, as an audio product, I cannot help you with - but, please listen anyway!

All that plus the Mailbag and Shout-Outs!

Ding-Dong, this book is done!

Too bad the story's not.

Which is to say... this might just be an episode where I veer a tad bit into the negative -- and so, if that is something which threatens to offend you personally, I humbly invite you to skip this one!  It's all good, we're all still pals!

If you DO decide to listen, you'll get my thoughts on the unsatisfying and muddled non-wrap up of Excalibur - as well as an X-Tended and very fun Mailbag segment!

Any thoughts on this book?  This issue/the title overall?  I'd love to hear and share 'em... good, bad, and/or indifferent!
