Welcome back, Trade-Waiters!

For our third compilation/anthology episode - we're taking a look at the difficult second issues of each of our DoX launch books, in which they all sorta go their own way. I gotta wonder, while incredibly convenient... was this a satisfying read if you were following along via the anthology trades?

Anyways, in the wake of the apparent assassination last time out, Krakoa is... well, I would say "high alert", but nah, they're all still dancing around that bonfire like nothing even happened.

The Summers's's's have an outing that introduces the Creepy Summoner, Betsy is Captain Britain, Call Me Kate gets coronated, the New Mutants annoy the Starjammers, Quentin Quire smells like Axe Bodyspray, and Fallen Angels... exists.

If these compilation episodes are the first time you're diving into the X-Lapsed Universe - I'd love to hear from you!

What is that blinding light? It's as though we're at the end of a seemingly endless tunnel! That's right, friends... today, it ends. After this episode of X-Lapsed, we never have to (knock on wood) discuss another issue of Fallen Angels... ever again.

Crank up the orchestral soundtrack for your favorite Final Fantasy game, because we're about to see Psylocke battling a bona fide god... for, like a page or two. Lotsa build-up... for very little payoff, but we'll do our best to have fun talking about it.

Also: A lookback at the entire Fallen Angels miniseries, including taking a peek at its surprisingly solid sales figures... and another X-Tended Mailbag segment, featuring missives from a pair of listeners who just finished HoXPoX for the first time!

It's the penultimate issue of Fallen Angels... so, what's say we actually start-and-finish rounding out our team, yeah?

Today I talk about how unpleasant a character Kwannon is, and question how anyone ever thought she could carry her own back-up feature in a random issue of X-Men Unlimited much less an actual miniseries. At least there's only one to go...

What could be better than an issue of Fallen Angels? Well, how about a "Part 4 of 6" issue of Fallen Angels? Join me as we have the same revelations we've already had three times... and we inch ever closer to the finish line.

Wrapping up the Dawn of X Wave One #3's, with an extended fight scene in Fallen Angels. Not much to say about this one... but plenty to say about other stuff, so please listen anyway!

Also: Some excellent listener mail, and I complain about half-hearted Wikis, discuss a bit more of the Chuck Austen run, and continue to whinge about the overreliance on power damp(en)ing devices in these here X-Books!

Y'ever hear the one about the butterfly? No? Well, you're going to... a lot.

Today we wrap up the first wave of Dawn of X #1's with, perhaps the oddball of the group - Fallen Angels #1 by Bryan Hill and Szymon Kudranski. Who said we only needed on Psylocke? Probably the same person who said we only need one Psyocke-led book! Will this one be near as interesting as Excalibur? Let's find out together...

Also: I remember rate the Dawn of X Wave One #1's in the order I most enjoyed them, and some great listener feedback with some varying opinions on the HoX/PoX/DoX landscape!
