80% of Michael Morbius is still too much Morbius for your humble host!  Luckily, there's a lot more to discuss about this issue than one of my least favorite vampires (and that's saying something)!

Today we're going to spend a good deal of time talking about scientific ethics as Maxine Danger takes center stage (at least in my mind), also the Daughters of the Dragon give us a sorta-kinda shoe-drop reveal... and a pervy game hunter watches Spider-Ben and Mary Janine kiss in the park!

Spider-Man: Beyond rolls on... and the "Beyond Baton" is passed from Zeb Wells to Kelly Thompson!  Will she be able to run with it?  Absolutely!

Today's chapter prompts your humble host to talk a bit about Flowers for Algernon, and kvetch about spoiler images on the internet... so, ya know, the usual!  This Beyond run, to this point, has been great fun... and, I encourage anyone out there who can keep up with all skatey-eight hundred issues of Spidey Marvel's pumping out every month to give it a goo!

In my 30+ years of reading X-Men comics, I've certainly read some stinkers...

After X-Men Green, however, I feel I owe them all a sincere apology.  Today marks the end of what is, in my opinion, the worst X-Men story ever put to digital paper. 

Will Nature Girl and Curse have to answer for their crimes?  Of course not!

Will they actually learn anything?  Hell naw!

Will this story wrap up in a satisfying way?  You sh*ttin' me?

Also - the "season finale" of It's Jeff! where he steals something and looks adorable while doing so... which, is kinda how 80% of Jeff stories go...

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, Housekeeping, and This Week in X!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we're doing something a little bit special for the holiday weekend... kicking off a couple of installments of a potential new program here at the channel, very much (as the name might suggest) in the vein of X-Lapsed.

I haven't been a regular Spidey reader since the first few months after the Marvel NOW! era Superior Spider-Man... however, due to the "Beyond Board" being comprised of creators whose work I very much enjoy, I couldn't help but to be yanked back in!

Today's episode is kind of a long one, kicking off with a (relatively) quick 'n dirty look into my Life and Times as a Spider-Fan... then, I'll discuss the first issue of this brave new era - from the point of view of a truly "Web-Lapsed" reader!

I hope you enjoy... please make sure and let me know if you do!

What's more, I fear it's become sentient... having realized that it might just be the worst X-Men story ever put to paper, it's now shifted from full-blown lecture mode into being an attempt at comedy!

... at least we've got It's Jeff!

For the fifth of... however many weeks, it's more X-Men Green - and rather than waste all of your time kvetching over how much I don't like this story, this is a pretty basic recitation of the story beats... with little (relatively speaking) in the way of editorializing.  We've also got a great li'l It's Jeff! short, which actually ties in with our current year X-Stuff!

Who's ready for a lecture?

You know I am, dear listener!  Yes, it's time for another in and endless string of installments of X-Men Green.  A story that might actually enlighten some folks if it took its head out of its backside long enough to try and engage in some non-strawman material!

Plus.. your humble host vamps for a long while about my migration from Blogger to Wordpress, just so I could put off covering the story!  Please listen anyway!

***The Weekly X-Men Green Disclaimer***

I didn't like this one... if that somehow offends you personally... please consider skipping this episode!  Back to fun stuff tomorrow, I promise!

I think I owe X-Corp an apology!

For everyone who's ready to be lectured and condescended to by a story... boy, have I got one for ya!  For those who ain't... well, at least there's It's Jeff! and an amazing Mailbag segment!

X-Men Green rolls on... and, while it has its heart in the right place... is, in the opinion of this humble idiot... going about telling their story the x-act wrong way.

Hearts and Minds will likely NOT be won over with this one.

***Disclaimer: I didn't like this one... if that personally offends you, this might not be the show to listen to!

Our weekly look at the weekly X-Book continues... and so does our opening Wolverine vs. AIM vs. MODOK... in spaaaaaaaaaace story!

We're going to spend most of this episode talking about how this story is predicated on scrolling for great swaths of time... and, while that isn't a bad thing, it kinda hampers the ability to ever comfortably translate this into a physical product.

Also: The adorable second chapter of... It's Jeff!  What happens when our tiny Land Shark finds his way into a washing machine?  Will Punky Brewster get there in time to save him?  Wait, that was a fridge... nevermind.
