We're going to be talking a lot about Doug, Warlock, and Magik today - I hope you'll all be there for the... uh, fun? Yeah, we'll go with that.

After pressing through the "Countdown to", we're into the event miniseries proper! It's an issue with a couple of casualties (one notable... one, less so)... as well as an introduction of a character who looms large in our current Dawn of X landscape!

We'll talk a lot (ie. project) about potential original plans for the original five... and what that might've meant for X-Men lore. If the time-displaced crew were a) from the 616, and b) sent back to the past with the knowledge of everything that was yet to come... what might that have meant for our current-day continuity?

Could they have originally been intended as an in-story reboot mechanism for our mutant heroes? Probably not... but, we're going to have fun playing "What if...?" anyway!

I'd love to hear (and share) your hot-takes on this issue as well. If you've got any, please don't hesitate to send 'em in!

On the eve of #XLapsed100, we're going to be talking about a confrontation that listeners of the show know I've been looking forward to for awhile - it's the New Mutants vs. DOX!

Can this face-off possibly live up to my expectations... or will my uncharacteristic optimism be slapped down! It's a story of slippery slopes and technicalities... you won't wanna miss it!

Also: Our final "Merry" Mailbag feature (for now), and much begging for #XLapsed100 engagement from your humble host!

Welcome to the new X-Lapsed Sunday Special Series...

It's another one that I've been really looking forward to: Extermination - wherein we're going to find out where Kid Cable came from... and where the time-displaced Original Five went! Well, that's the plan anyway... anything could happen!

But before all that, we're going to have to get to Extermination... you might say, we're going to have to Countdown to Extermination. Today we're going to chat about the post AvX landscape which brought us to this point... and then the five "post credits sequences" that lead us into the event miniseries proper. It's bound to be a good time - I hope you decide to come along!

The Empyre-sploitation rolls on... and Jamie Madrox is a-okay with his dupes being eaten by zombies! Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about that. It's not ALL bad though... this issue might feature the best portrayal of Beast in many, many years! Sure, it's only like two-pages... but, it's something!

All that and some great and thought-provoking letters in our mailbag!

Who's ready for more Carnage in Carnelia?

Who's ready to meet a new Krakoan citizen?

Who's ready for this story arc to be over?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions - well, then I've got an issue for you. Not much "meat" on the preverbal bone here, but a scene in this issue does facilitate my revisiting a well-worn X-Lapsed topic regarding altering mutants during the resurrection process (and otherwise).

Also: As always, some great and thoughtful listener mail

Journey with me into the mind of a mania--er, reality warping mutant.

Today, the New Mutants take a walk on the wild side... with, Wildside in order to give "good dreams" to a scared little girl who might just destroy an entire country. All that, plus our DOX Magazine subplot keeps bubbling away!

Also: An X-Tended Mailbag, full of great analysis and discussion!

Stop me if you heard this one before - in today's issue, our heroes head over to a Russian-ish country that doesn't recognize Krakoa as a sovereign nation.

Yeah, it's that again - but, at least this time out we get a new reality-warping mutant to deal with, and get to see some of the weirdos from the Mutant Liberation Front!

Also: X-Cellent listener mail, including a missive that isn't totally on board with the HoXPoXDoXSoX direction! Lotsa meat on the bone today - I hope you'll join us for the fun and discussion!

We're back with the New Mutants "B" team a/k/a the Amalgamated Young Mutants of Krakoa, LLC for this issue - and what's more, they're taking us all on a trip to Nova Roma. It's a weird one-and-done, that - in about 10 minutes - you might just forget you've even read! Let's hope the same can't be said for your listening experience!

Also: Sebastian Shaw does something pretty cool... so, at least there's that!

Today we wrap up our time at the Bohusk Farm... and, it gets far bloodier than you might imagine. We learn a little bit more about the Cartel, DOX... and those creepy grey-skinned black-eyed children.

It's a good time as always... as we head toward the "landmark" fiftieth episode of X-Lapsed (can it really be a landmark, if I'm the only one that cares? Don't answer that!)

Let's make the best of this...

And now for something completely different!

While our main cast are still in spaaaaaaace, we're given a weird little story with some of Xorn's Special Class, Armor, and a whole bunch of Mutant-hating hillbillies. Never have I ever been so disappointed not to see Deathbird!

Also: The concept of a cure-all in comics, a bit of my babbling about my academic career, and a whole lot more
