Nobody's favorite show is back to cover the penultimate issue of the 2019 Major X miniseries - and boy, it's getting tough to stay positive.

Today, we get some body-swapping... a Sentinel dogfight... and an appearance by the current-year (pre-HoXPoX) X-Men.  It's... well, it's something.

It's issue four... and it's another fight-scene.  I might actually have to listen to this episode myself, since I can barely remember what happened here.

Major X has somehow married some of the worst aspects of two generations of comic book storytelling - it is as shallow and vapid as many books of the early 1990's, while being decompressed to the gills like so many "current year" comics.

Because absolutely nobody demanded it...

... Major X-Lapsed returns with its second installment!

Today, I have far less fun with Issue #2 of Major X... which, rather than remaining a fun retro romp through the early '90s - starts taking itself a bit too seriously.  We've got Atlantean politics to deal with... and that's just the beginning!  I don't know about y'all, but Atlanteans are right up there with the Inhumans in the list of characters I couldn't care less about!

I'd love to hear everybody's thoughts on this series... good, bad, or indifferent - please don't hesitate to reach out!
