The weekend kinda got away from me, and so - in lieu of an all-new episode, we're indulging in another compilation piece.  And, I mean, let's face it -- it's doubtful anybody's gonna bother listening even if it WAS new... so, whattayagonnado?

Today we're looking at the wildly disjointed... and rather unnecessary run of Giant-Size specials the Head of X was putting out during the Dawn of X era.  Storm's sick... like really, really sick... so sick that it's never mentioned in ANY other books she appears in!  Don't worry though, she gets better.

Plus: We've got not one, but TWO iterations of "Baby's First Grant Morrison Comic" in a callback to the "Silence!  Psychic Rescue in Progress" Nuff Said! issue of New X-Men and a dip into Fantomex's The World.

Also: Magneto makes a deal with Namor to procure a certain island that will be the site of a certain Gala.  Oh, you didn't know there was a Gala coming up?

That time we all bought the next issue of New Mutants... and weren't sure if we were reading things in the right order!  Instead of a swashbuckling adventure in the stars with the Shi'ar... we were dropped on the Bohusk farm Nebraska with Armor, Glob, and a drunken Boom-Boom!

That's not the only story we get here though!  We'll also head off to draft Cosmar to the Krakoan Cause, as well as dealing with the weird anti-mutant tabloid web-site DOX... which, yer humble host was somewhat stupidly x-cited for!

This volume starts off pretty strong, with a two-parter that -- believe it or not, does NOT take place in Otherworld!  Sadly, this is short-lived... and, I'm fairly certain we don't get another issue from this entire volume of Excalibur that doesn't deal with Otherworld... best enjoy it while it lasts!

After that fun two-parter, we're back to business as usual... Fair This, Foul That, Crooked These, Opal Luna Those... it's our messy build-up to EcksofTens and Beyond... in that current-year Excalibur style!

Welcome to the book that, at first blush, I thought might be the actual low-key flagship of the Dawn of X line!  Which is to say, we've got something of a team here... and stuff actually happens!  Also, the Resurrection Protocols are TRULY put to the test in this one!

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.

Revisiting the next of our Dawn of X opening arcs, with - what started out as the most consistently good book of the post-HoXPoX launch!  Call Me Kate takes center stage, and we're introduced to a very fun team of high-seas sailors... until our creative team forgot about like 80% of them!

For this first arc, though -- it's great stuff!

Is this the first time you've checked out X-Lapsed?  Are you an X-Lapsed-Lapsed listener who may've dropped off after having your pod-feeds slammed by my barrage of content?  Please let me know, I'd love to hear from you all!

Since 300+ episodes is quite the daunting task for any potential new listener... welcome to the X-Lapsed "Triple-Dip" -- the third time I'm sharing these episodes, however, rather than sorting them by where they'd appear in the Dawn of X Anthologies (as shown in The Collected X-Lapsed series of shows)... we're doing these by series!

If you missed out on the earliest issues of Jonathan Hickman's run on X-Men (vol.5), here's your chance to start playing catch-up with Chris!

If you missed out on House of X and Powers of X, the complete eight or so hour discussion of that storyline can be found in The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode One, available in the archives!

Is this your first time giving X-Lapsed a try?  Are you a listener who's become X-Lapsed-Lapsed?  I'd love to hear from you - please consider dropping me a line to let me know what you think!

A tale so tragic it took the entire HoXPoXDoX X-Book brain trust to put it together!

To say that your humble host is a bit grumpy reading the Empyre cash-in miniseries might just be underselling it.  This might be the downest you'll hear me (until we get to X-Corp, that is)!  Engage in some schadenfreude and listen to me trudge my way through this one!

*NOTE: Next Episode (14) of The Collected X-Lapsed will be an "audit", since between Amazon, Marvel(dot)com, Comixology, the Marvel Wikia, and the actual Dawn of X trades themselves... NOBODY can keep which issues appear in each volumes straight!  We'll do our best to straighten it out!

We knew it wouldn't be too terribly long before we got ourselves a Dawn of X era Wolverine ongoing... and so, here it is!

This compilation episode (and anthology volume) only includes four "issuesodes"... but, that Wolvie ish is a long'un.  But first, the Marauders deal with the fallout of their loss last issue, Excalibur THANKFULLY takes a break from Otherworld to go on a foxhunt, and a Domino-centric issue of X-Force raises some very thought-provoking questions regarding the collectivist nature of Krakoa!

As news begins to trickle in regarding the upcoming INFERNO event, The Collected X-Lapsed is inadvertently relevant (well, as relevant as it can be) - as this compilation episode contains the "shoe-drop" issue of X-Men wherein we all learn of Mystique's designs on our Island Nation!  Also: Kitty goes for an x-tended swim in Marauders, Fallen Angels mercifully ends, and Beast gets even nastier over in X-Force!

All that, as well as the always x-cellent Mailbags and the normal amounts of my marblemouthed nonsense!  If you're just now discovering X-Lapsed via these "collected editions", please let me know!

Stepping away from our regular Dawn of X storyline... due to a dramatic event that occurs in the sixth issue of one of our ongoings, we're taking a look at the four-part X-Men + Fantastic Four miniseries, which your humble host was absolutely chomping at the bit for.  Marvel must've known that, as they wasted very little time rendering the entire thing moot by de-Mutantifying Franklin Richards!

In todays Collected Edition, we'll discuss all four parts of the event miniseries as well as the issue of Fantastic Four where it's revealed that Franklin Richards isn't... and never, ever was... a Mutant!

This compilation also includes the landmark 50th episode of X-Lapsed, wherein I spend a good half hour or so being wildly self-indulgent in reflecting on my time in audio comics commentary.

We're at our traditional "penultimate chapter" issues of each of our Dawn of X launch titles... however, only one of the six seems to be playing along!

Fallen Angels gets ready to wrap up by finally putting together their team (who we'll never see work together again after this series) - X-Men decides to ignore Fallen Angels completely by having X-23 fall back into her pre-FA character and costume... before the other series even ends -  Forge acts a chucklehead in X-Force - we resume our New Mutants space story (never thought I'd be so happy to see Deathbird!), your humble host becomes more accustomed to the new take on Bobby Drake, and Excalibur begins it's "Have I missed an issue?" meme!

All that, plus the always X-Cellent Mailbags!  If you are only now discovering X-Lapsed through these Collected Editions - please, reach out and let me know your thoughts!

The X-Books are still on somewhat shaky ground here - they're all going their own way!

X-Force does a thing, X-Men sees the movers and shakers of Krakoa take their seat at the Global Table, Rictor begins studying under Ayyyy in Excalibur, New Mutants takes aim at some scarily safe targets while at the farm (did YOU know that Big Pharma was bad?  Betcha didn't!), Marauders pays off the Taipei story from the first ish... and Fallen Angels continues being a collection of sheets bound together by two staples!

We're finally here... the star-studded 200th Episode of X-Lapsed!  Today we're making good on a discussion that was supposed to happen way back in Episode 112 of this program... but, became delayed over and over again due to me family's never-ending moving woes!

Well, the moving woes are still ongoing... but, I figured this special GIANT-SIZE episode would make a really fun milestone episode, and so - over the course of the past several weeks, I have had the pleasure of sitting down with a great group of pals to discuss each and every entry in the X of Swords Handbook!

I assured them all that these segments would take up "10-15 minutes tops"... well, nearly eleven hours later... here we be!

I want to thank everybody who took part in not only this episode, but the entire #XLapsed journey to this point.  It really means the world to me, more than I can adequately put into words!

In Soviet Russia, trade wait for you!

Hey everybody, we're back fo(u)r another compilation episode... covering the third issues of the Dawn of X, Wave One launch titles - and it feels like, for some of these, the bloom is coming off the ol' rose.

Hordeculture?  The New Mutants Farm story?  Fallen Angels still being a thing?

The tonal shift here into attempts at comedy, a weird fill-in arc, and poetic waxing might be too severe for your humble host to take!
