Because absolutely, positively nobody demanded it - X-Lapsed has returned (for today, anyway).  It's Unlimited day... mostly because I was in the middle of writing this script when I decided to hang things up a few weeks ago.  Not much to talk about on the comics front... but, if you make it to around the twenty-minute mark, you can hear all about why there hasn't been a new episode of the show in nearly a month!

If you only listen to one episode of X-Lapsed this month... well, it'll probably be this one!  Huge thanks to everybody who's stuck with me!

An episode emblematic of the "X-Lapsed Problem", as it pertains to over-analysis and repetition... and, if THAT doesn't entice you to listen, I don't know what would!

If you DO decide to listen, we'll be wrapping up the eleventy-hundred part Paradise Lost - with a clever gimmick and a slight cliffhanger that I kinda doubt will ever be paid off.  Life of Wolverine continues to be a 90 second read, which leads to about 45 minutes of independent research in order to fill in all the blanks we're left with!

Is there anyone getting anything out of this Quick 'n Dirty look at Wolverine's life?  If so, please lemme know!

The penultimate of Paradise Lost brushes with greatness when we almost get a very special exchange between Juggernaut and Professor X.  Also, Deadpool gets squished a whole bunch.

Meanwhile, Life of Wolverine meanders on... straddling the line between being an illustrated (and incomplete) Wikipedia entry, and an actual story.  It's trying to be both, but succeeding at neither!  We'll stick with it, however, and hope for the best!

A pair of very... *slight* stories for this Infinity Comics outing: Juggernaut and Deadpool finally make their way to Krakoa for the upcoming two-part finale... and our trek through the Life and Times of Wolverine takes us through Origin's I and II... without wasting a single beat!  "Quick 'n Dirty" might just be an overstatement!

All 'at plus the Mailbag!

Playing catch-up on our X-Infinity Comics by rejoining the Juggernaut and Deadpool's run-in with the Human Adaptoid... in which we don't get any Nazi jokes... but, DO get some jokes beaten into the ground all the same!

Also, we step off the beaten path to take a peek at a Spider-Bot story... which stars, believe it or not, Wolverine!  Both stories are pretty fun this time out... and well worth your time in checking out!

Plus: Mailbag and This Week in X!

In which Fabian Nicieza repeatedly takes the brave stance that Nazis are bad... and inches his story a few moments further along -- and our back-up feature begins the retelling of Wolverine's Origin... as in, literally, the first issue of Origin, we've got us another lackluster Infinity Comics day!

Least we got the returning Mailbag to keep things light!

In which our Juggernaut/Deadpool team-up starts showing severe signs of decompression... and, hoo boy, does it like pointing out that Arnim Zola is a Nazi!  Don't make that into a drinking game... you'd never survive the x-perience!

Plus - Bobby Drake rings in the New Year by kissing himself and delivering some of the cringiest dialogue your humble host has seen in years!  It's a trip!

Also - Some babbly and rambly personal asides and anecdotes... that hopefully make a modicum of sense!

X-Lapsed is back after our Holiday (and DCBS-not-shipping-me-the-books) break... and, we're kicking off our #Roadto300 with... X-Men Unlimited!  Today's chapter features a heart-to-heart... or, maybe fist-to-head conversation between our two feature characters... and liberal (ab)use of the finger-flickin' gimmick of the Infinity Comics format.

Also: In lieu of a mascot-backup, we're taking a look at the X-Centric Wolverine Holiday Special... which, sadly is a product more interested in making "lol, references" than actually telling a story.  Oh well...

Today - we begin the healing process!

After skatey-eight weeks of horrendous X-Men Green, X-Men Unlimited moves on with... what we might be able to refer to as the follow-up to the very fun Juggernaut "Unstoppable" miniseries from last year!  It's still Fabian Nicieza... which is a very good thing indeed!

Also, taking the place of It's Jeff! in the "Infinity Comics back-up" slot, it's... Lucky the Pizza Dog!  Today we check out his first outing, where he and Hawkeye-Girl tangle with the dread Porcupine... in order to procure a pizza!

Plus: The return of "Fake-Ass Comics History", some very unfortunate news about the immediate future of this program, the February, 2022 X-Solicits, some Destiny of X and FCBD2022 news, This Week in X, and much more!  It's a bigger-than-normal episode... especially for Unlimited day!

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...

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!

It's not that you're wrong... you're just a jerk!

Today, we kick off the second arc of the Marvel Unlimited X-Clusive - X-Men Unlimited... and they're calling it X-Men Green... with good reason.

We're going to join perpetual killjoy, Nature Girl as she shows us how much she values human life.  It's a rough one, that feels like it was written by a petulant teen-ager doing their best to rebel, but we'll get through it together!

Also, Jeff the Land Shark runs through a tulip patch.

Plus: We take a look at Marvel Previews for all the goods we're gonna be getting in December -- it's the "calm before the storm" month, wherein many of our favorites (and not-so-favorites) are coming to an end!

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.
