Back to the Destiny of X flagship for another installment of Quiet Council intrigue!

Note: There's a pretty long pre-ramble this time out, so for "Just the X", feel free to skip ahead to around the 25 minute mark.

We've got another solid issue today, but one where there are some moments where I feel like we need to squint and tilt our head to make 'em "work".  Maybe I'm just an idiot?  You be the judge, dear listener!

It's a brand-new era... with your same old host, now with extra Covid!

It's time for us all to be flies on the wall to witness the machinations and maneuvering of the Quiet Council... which is somehow some of the most interesting X-Stuffs to come down the pike yet!

An excellent start to the Destiny of X era... and an issue I can't wait to hear your thoughts on!

Tying a messy-as-hell bow on the Trial of Magneto miniseries... as scarlet shoes drop, and we end up with even fewer "rules" the X-Books need to follow going forward!  We've got bunches to talk about here... let's try and wrap our minds around this one together, yes?

Revisiting the next of our Dawn of X opening arcs, with - what started out as the most consistently good book of the post-HoXPoX launch!  Call Me Kate takes center stage, and we're introduced to a very fun team of high-seas sailors... until our creative team forgot about like 80% of them!

For this first arc, though -- it's great stuff!

Is this the first time you've checked out X-Lapsed?  Are you an X-Lapsed-Lapsed listener who may've dropped off after having your pod-feeds slammed by my barrage of content?  Please let me know, I'd love to hear from you all!

Coming to us from the "Oh, is THAT still coming out?" pile - it's the skatey-eight hundredth attempt to "fix" the Scarlet Witch!  A character who they seem to break more every time they touch her!  Who knows... maybe THIS time, it'll stick!  Ya know, until the next superstar writer comes in and decides to ignore it...

Anyway, let's do this!

Plus: A full-on Mailbag segment, a belated "This Week in X", and a big question for friends of the show - Share with me YOUR "State of the X Books", lemme know what your thoughts are about this, arguably "lame duck" period in the line!

It's "hump day" for the (bordering on false-advertising) Trial of Magneto... and you all know what that means - it's time for a pointless fight to take up two-thirds of the issue!

Yes, folks - while we wonder what's going on with Wanda... and whether or not Magneto will be held responsible, the X-Men and Avengers team-up to fight off... giant kaiju monsters?  Oh... okay.

In addition to the story, we will touch briefly on the concept of the Triple Goddess concept from Neopaganism -- which might just be where this story will be headed once we get ridda Godzilla and Pals.

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and news and hot-takes over whatever "Destiny of X" is going to be!

We finally reach the end of our Empyre-sploitation... the miniseries I thought would never end.  Today's episode and issue sees Explodey Boy talking to himself... and several pages devoted to Doctor Strange calling the Scarlet Witch an idiot.

At least it's over...

Today's issue of Marauders pays off the Taipei subplot from the first chapter, in a very fun way.  We also get some actual Post-Human sightings, and a weird blast from the past that I certainly wasn't expecting!  Also: Storm hammers a Brazilian Rent-a-Merc with lightning... twice!

Plus: Great listener mail, some chatter about DC Comics' Millennium, Cypher's role as a "heavy-hitter" in the post HoXPoX X-Books, and much more... well, maybe not "much" more... but, more nonetheless.
