Welcome to AXE-Lapsed!

Kicking off the X-Lapsed coverage of the Summer-into-Fall, 2022 Crossovent, AXE: Judgment Day!  Today, we're taking a look at three short subjects from two of Marvel's 2022 Free Comic Book Day offerings - two from FCBD 2022: Avengers/X-Men #1 and one story with a surprise X-Twist from FCBD 2022: Spider-Man/Venom #1!

All three stories are fun... and offer your humble host some (uncharacteristic?) optimism about the near future of the X-Books!  Also: I willingly eat a bit of crow when I admit that Marvel (and DC) finally used the FCBD opportunity to actually deliver the goods... and reward reader loyalty!

Plus: A great Mailbag section!

Deadpool continues stumpin' for a spot on X-Force, while Wolverine... well, he pretty much just sighs and seethes, which is probably the right response to x-tended Deadpool dialogue!

A fun issue, full of action and actual humor!  Worth your time (unlike this program).

Plus: A dip into the Mailbag to chat up s'more Knights of X!

Heyyy, anybody remember that whole Gameworld story that kicked off this volume?  Well, our creative team just did!

The adjectiveless "flagship" of the line still meanders on... a victim of poor timing, and a certain Head of X abandoning ship when the waters got choppy.  Here's hoping "season two" of this title feels a bit more relevant than all this!

Plus: Some great Mailbag!
