When is a penultimate issue more like a finale? Well, when your actual final issue is a chapter of an Event Crossover... like the Hellfire Gala.

Oh, you didn't know? There's a Hellfire Gala on the horizon. They totally don't talk about it every chance they get... so, I don't blame you for not knowing!

Today, we look at a book whose watchword is "truncation". The axe of cancellation appears to have fallen during the production of this issue... and yet, Williams and Baldeon still manage to deliver an enjoyable outing! We've got Morrigan and Mojoworld... um, please listen anyway - I promise it'll be fun!

Also: An X-Panded Mailbag Segment full of x-cellent x-chatter!

The Boneyard's Haunted... by X-Factor?!

Today's episode features plenty of Mutant death... and morr of the Morrigan. It also feels a bit truncated - which will likely be today's "watchword"

Also: A very challenging Mailbag for your humble host, who tries not to stumble over his words too badly.

Why does Theresa Cassidy keep dying? Well, that's what X-Factor's going to have to find out... and it looks like getting those answers is going to be akin to pulling teeth for our heroes. There's a LOT of food for thought dropped in this issue... and as such, we've got tons to blabber about!

Plus: Great Mailbag... annnnd --

-- Since we're getting so close to catching up to "real time", I decided to take a dip into Marvel Previews to check out the X-Books shipping in April, 2021. We'll probably be doing this once a month from this point on... lemme know what you think!

Picking up where we left X-Factor when #EcksofTens got in the way, our team is prepared to present "Proof of Death" for that girl whose body they rescued from Mojoworld!

We're going to talk a whole lot about that girl... why she was there... what she knew... and why she allowed herself to be shot in da head! We will also be talking a bunch more about one of my favorite HoXPoXDoXSoXRoX topics: The Crucible!

Wait... what? What's a Gwenpool doing in our X-Lapsed?

I promise, friends, this will all make sense in the telling - as it has some wonderful and surprising Krakoan ramifications. In fact, even taking the X-ness out of this series, this is a heckuva lot of fun... and is highly recommended by your humble host!

If you don't know Gwenpool... like I didn't... you're gonna wanna check this one out!

We're still in the "current year" Mojoverse... and your humble host is doing his best to adapt. Will this be the issue that breaks me? (Spoiler Alert: No).

Some strong scenes in this issue, as well as a returning 'star straight from my wheelhouse as an X-Fan.

Also: Great listener mail, including a sorta-kinda "live-tweeted" tour through Empyre(colon)X-Men!

Between the reading of X-Factor (vol.4) #1 and #2, your humble host had a birthday... one that apparently turned him into an old man - because the issue we've gathered to discuss today, just wasn't for him. We'll talk about the possible reasons why... in a very respectful way.

Also: A very Merry Mailbag, including a friend sharing his "Life and Times as an X-Fan"! You won't wanna miss it... least I hope ya won't!

Hello Friends - today we finally round out our Dawn of X Wave Two #1's - and your humble host totally forgets to rank them from best to worst... hopefully, I'll remember for next time!

Today we welcome X-Factor to the fold - and I begin this episode by recounting my life and times as a fan of the title... and just how important it was in my earliest days of X-Fandom! We will then discuss the book cover-to-cover... and, whattayaknow, talk about what I liked and didn't like about it! Sounds just like a comic review show, doesn't it?
