Marvel's finally decided to release the next volume of the Reign of X Anthologies! Darn those supply-chain issues, that DC Comics and all the indies have somehow been able to sidestep! Anyway, we're back -- and we're just in time for the Hellfire Gala! Oh, you didn't know? There's going to be a Gala! If only these books would bother to mention it!

Since Marvel trade paperbacks are suffering the affects of shrinkflation (which we're surely only imagining), we only get the first five issues of the event here. Looks like the Gala will be eating up the next two collected editions as well!

It's over four hours of fun, frivolity... Carnation Abominations, and a fake-ass vote to elect our new (already obsolete) X-Men!

After two-plus years in our brave, new post-HoXPoX era... we're finally getting on with it!  Well, sorta... all of the momentum is about to be usurped by Hellfire Gala hoo-doo, and a fairly drastic shift in direction.

This time out, we get some Nimrod, Sinister gets in position to start concocting Chimerae, Excalibur gets malicious, Kid Cable keeps being bummed out... and the Children of the Atom sorta-kinda get an origin... that never gets touched on again!

You ever hear a grown man gush?  If not, you've probably never listened to anyone talk about Hellions... because, damn this is one well-done book!

As we approach our conclusion we're taking a trip thru "shoe-drop city"... lotsa revelations, and food for thought dropped right in our waiting laps.  And, if you've listened to this program for a minute... you'll know that I'll sometimes sink my teeth into a theory, and not let it go.  I might do that a couple of times throughout today's discussion!

It'll be a good time... or, at the very least I'll help getcha through an entire day of work!

This is the compilation I've both been looking forward to AND dreading... ya see, this is our "audit" episode!

Since between Amazon, Marvel, Comixology, and the Marvel Wikia... NOBODY can keep straight which issues appear in each collection - we've been forced to dig a bit deeper, and figure out x-actly where we stood.  As such, this will be a bit of a shorter installment, as we've already covered two of the issues that were actually a part of this volume!  Those issues were Excalibur (vol.4) #10, and the second-half of Wolverine (vol.7) #1.  What remains is a pair of issues from both New Mutants (vol.4) and Hellions!  Approximately half of those issues will be quite fun to discuss!

Finally... it's time for Hellions!

The Collected X-Lapsed rolls on with the introduction of, perhaps THE surprise hit of this entire era... a team of B, C, and D list villains (plus Havok) engaging in therapeutic violence under the watchful eye of Mr. Sinister... what could possibly go wrong?

Also, Broo eats an egg, Wolverine fights flowers, and a Giant-Size issue supposedly featuring Nightcrawler!  All 'at and the usual X-Lapsed nonsense to boot!

*NOTE: Episode 14 of The Collected X-Lapsed will feature something of an "audit", since between Amazon, Marvel(dot)com, Comixology, the Marvel Wikia, and the actual Dawn of X trades themselves... NOBODY can keep which issues appear in each volumes straight!  We'll do our best to straighten it out!

Wrapping up the latest Hellions arc to make sure we're done for the Hellfire Gala!

Oh, by the way... did you know there's something called the Hellfire Gala headed our way?  Betcha didn't... they hardly ever mention it!

Here, the Hellions fight their way from the Mindscape and we progress Sinister's story perhaps one step closer to the Chimeras!  All that, and I heap a creepy amount of praise on our Hellions creative team!

Plus: Great Mailbag (including a "day and date" missive), and a report on the "Week in X" both on Marvel Unlimited and on store shelves!

In today's x-tra size milestone episode, we find out what Arcade and that elf from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special had in common.  Hint: It has to do with teeth!

Also: Our titular Hellions face off against their deepest, darkest desires... and maybe grind up on a robot manikin or two.  I promise this is a book worth reading... and, hopefully an episode worth hearing.

All that and some great and thought-provoking listener mail!

Thanks to everyone for their support over these last one hundred and seventy-five episodes!

No A.I. may be allowed to flourish...

Today's issue of Hellions is quite a challenging one, as it gives us a lot to chew on regarding morality, mortality... and probably a few other "-alities" to boot.  Another wonderful chapter of this wonderful book.  If you're not reading Hellions... you should be! 

Also - Great Mailbag... and a missive that actually inspired a brand-new segment for the show, wherein I take a look at the most recent Sales Charts (October, 2020).  We'll keep doing this as new sales/shipping data becomes available!  Lemme know what you think!

Welcome, friends - to the Reign of X... which, I'm pretty sure is supposed to be said as "Reign of 10", but... yeah, I'm never going to do that.  We kick things off with our newly resurrected Hellions going on a mission to retrieve some Nanny-Tech in order to bring back their final lost member.  We also get some amazing Sassy Sinister moments!

Lotsa great stuff to chat about, and - as always, a wonderful dip into the Mailbag!
