From Feast to Famine... and back to Feast again!

The sophomore volume of Hickman's flagship is... uneven.  It starts off amazingly strong, with one of the seminal stories of this entire era, and the source for many of our podcast discussions... the introduction of the Crucible!

From there, he wastes a bunch of our time with the Brood, a "funny, ha-ha" with Broo eating an Egg, a Deadly Genesis continuity error that breaks one of the ONLY rules associated with the Resurrection Protocols... then Empyre cash-ins!  At least ONE of those Empyre cash-ins was fun to read!

This is an interesting assortment... I've often wondered how folks who ONLY read the flagship were "receiving" this new era -- here's a chance to find out!

Since 300+ episodes is quite the daunting task for any potential new listener... welcome to the X-Lapsed "Triple-Dip" -- the third time I'm sharing these episodes, however, rather than sorting them by where they'd appear in the Dawn of X Anthologies (as shown in The Collected X-Lapsed series of shows)... we're doing these by series!

If you missed out on the earliest issues of Jonathan Hickman's run on X-Men (vol.5), here's your chance to start playing catch-up with Chris!

If you missed out on House of X and Powers of X, the complete eight or so hour discussion of that storyline can be found in The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode One, available in the archives!

Is this your first time giving X-Lapsed a try?  Are you a listener who's become X-Lapsed-Lapsed?  I'd love to hear from you - please consider dropping me a line to let me know what you think!

Remember that story in X-Men #12 that we hated?  Y'all wanna read it again?  Well - we're gonna!  I wish I was joking.

Today's episode discusses a chapter of #EcksofTens comprised almost entirely of art we already saw and paid for just a month or two earlier.  It's the Creepy Summoner's History of Arrako... with a Genesis twist.

As always, there's great listener mail to help lighten the mood!

That beeping sound you hear is a dump truck... backing up, about to drop about 5000 lbs. of exposition right on top of us - and, unfortunately, all we've got are these tiny li'l 5 lb. bags!

It's everything you wanted to know about Arakko... but never knew you were supposed to ask!  #EcksofTens can't come quick enough!

When being a part of only one mass-crossover event isn't enough - today's issue of X-Men (vol.5) ties into TWO!  We're both cashing-in on Empyre and one the Path to #EcksofTens... er, X of Swords.  Event Fatigue?  Nahhh, it's all in our heads, just like "writing for the trade"!

Today we're going to be witness to Magneto... well, kicking ass like only he can do - while Exodus indoctrinates the youth of Krakoa... with the truth?  We're gonna be talking a lot about that... I hope you decide to join us!

Just when we thought it was safe to read another issue of X-Men -- Empyre rears its ugly (and horrendously dull) head!

Today, in what might be the shortest episode of this program yet, we focus on Vulcan... as he happens across a bunch of nothin' happenin' aliens, while talking a lot about the fire that burns inside him.

Also: Petra and Sway get drunk... because, it's not an issue of Dawn of X without somebody getting wasted -- unfortunately for me, your humble host doesn't drink.  Maybe I ought to start...

Welcome friends, to the new X-Lapsed "Sunday Special Series", wherein we're going to spend the next five weeks looking at Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey by Matthew Rosenberg and Friends.

This is a series I've been long curious about, and so I figured it was high time we get to the bottom of just how Jean Grey made her return.  So far, so good - this was an issue so strong that... I'm even tempted to go back revisit the 2016-2018 Blue and Gold era!

If you too are ResurreX-Lapsed, please consider joining me in this little reading endeavor!

In which your stumblin', fumblin', humble host hits his personal "tipping point" as it pertains to "X-Men in Space" stories.  Sure, Cyclops and Havok's daddy lives out there... and the X-Men have a lotta friends and enemies out there - but, can we please get an issue without a reminder of that fact?!

Also: Happy Thanksgiving!

Let's get ready to rumble!

It's time for the first-ever Krakoan Crucible... and, boy-oh-boy, do we have A LOT to talk about.  Topics we will discuss will include a mutant's right to die, the concept of being (and/or becoming) "whole", how context and consequence are the basis of continuity, and we will theory-craft the ever-loving hell out of just about every nugget of "food for thought" this amazing issue gives us.

Also: This issue features "that" scene between Wolverine and Cyclops... that set many a "comics journalist" to clickbait their way to fleeting (and relative) internet fame.  We'll talk all about that as well.

Plus: Great listener mail and another X-Lapsed "Call to Arms".  If you're digging the show -- or at the very least, appreciate the time and effort that goes into making it every single day, please consider telling a friend that it's a thing that exists in the world!  Thanks gang!

Also: Listener Mail discussing Boom-Boom's depiction as a drunk, more plotting and planning for the future of this program, and chatting about Dawn of X's unfortunate habit of picking some of the easiest targets around to critique.
