It's the X-Men vs. the Brotherhood... fixed in a little different sort of way.

Today the hearts and minds of the less-warrish Arakkii are contested for... and we get plenty of food for thought regarding the potential tempests in the Marsarakko teapot!  Plus, an attempt at correcting a continuity gaffe that your humble host hasn't been able to shut up about since it happened!

I might rant a bit about attention to detail... and, how the fans who seem to care about things like continuity are usually mocked by the people who fail to adhere to it.  Please listen anyway!

Finally fleshing out the Marsarakkii!

In the follow-up to S.W.O.R.D. (vol.2), Al Ewing starts spillin' the beans on all things Arakki.  Seeds are planted for a team of Martian X-Men... as well as an All-New, All-Different... Brotherhood?!  It's off to a great start, and I hope you'll join me for the fun.

Also: I drone on more about Beast in the Mailbag + an x-tended rant about Marvel's current publishing and distribution woes

Wrapping up the second volume of S.W.O.R.D. with an honest-to-goodness "shoe drop"!  Secrets are revealed... which retroactively make much of this series' crossovent interruptions make a lot of sense!

This is a goodie... and, even though this volume's over and done with, we still need to concern ourselves with "What Comes Next"!

Wherein your humble host is still literally spitting fire, as a result of Holiday overindulgence... but, let's not let that distract from our given task of chatting up all of these X-Books!

Today's episode is focused on Wiz-Kid... our, sorta-kinda-but-definitely-not-turncoat, as revealed last issue.  We're going to actually get to know him a bit better... which only makes me even more bummed out that so much of this S.W.O.R.D. volume has been co-opted into various "crossovents", and has spent such little time fleshing out its own interesting and semi-obscure cast!

In what we might've called a "shoe-drop issue"... had this series ever had the opportunity to find its own identity, rather than being background for various line-wide events - we find out who Henry Peter Gyrich of Orchis's MOLE inside S.W.O.R.D. is!  Be ready to be whelmed!

Also - we talk and postulate a bit about the upcoming shipping delays, and... well, not much more!

From famine, to feast... and back to famine again!

After a few episodes full of intrigue and import... we return to reality!  An issue of S.W.O.R.D. that, while not bad, reads kind of like a filler/inventory story.

We've got the story of Storm trying to prove to herself and those around her that Marsarakko has not broken her.

Or, [X]Lapsed Annihilation, Episode 003!

Welcome friends, to the episode that marks one-year of daily podcasts here at the Chris and Reggie Channel!  That, and a couple'a bucks ought to get me a cuppa cheap coffee - but, hey - it's still something I can say I did!

Today we're keeping with the Last Annihilation gimmick, and getting our S.W.O.R.D. cast on the board... and boy are they snarky.  Well, Abigail Brand is, anyway.

All this, plus some great Mailbag, wherein we talk a bit about the S.W.O.R.D. title getting too tangled with crossovers, as well as some deep philosophical chatter regarding Nightcrawler's faith and depiction over in Way of X!

It's a fun time as always... thank you all so much for allowing me to keep you company this past year!

Welcome friends, to the milestone 225th Episode of X-Lapsed... or, maybe, considering the subject matter - we dump the [X] from the title, and just call it Lapsed Annihilation, Episode 0?!  Maybe then people will give it a listen?

Today, we're kicking off our look at the upcoming Last Annihilation story, which will run through Guardians of the Galaxy, S.W.O.R.D., and Cable: Reloaded - Ego the Living Planet has been covered with a candy shell... and is about to pop!  What horror lurks below the surface?  You're gonna have to listen to find out - or, ya know, read the issue... or look for spoilers.  Nah, you probably ought to just listen!

Also: Some great (and potentially) thought-provoking Mailbag content!

On the eve of our landmark, star-studded TWO HUNDREDTH episode, we're taking a look at a recent Marvel Anthology... which, in the opinion of you humble, fumblin', stumblin' host... could have been much more than it was.

It's a "Just the X, ma'am" look at the Women of Marvel one-shot, with a little bonus chatter about an X-Relevant scene that appeared in 2020's Immortal She-Hulk one-shot!  Man, what a missed opportunity for a "Variant X-Lapsed Cover", eh?
