Welcome to AXE-Lapsed!

Kicking off the X-Lapsed coverage of the Summer-into-Fall, 2022 Crossovent, AXE: Judgment Day!  Today, we're taking a look at three short subjects from two of Marvel's 2022 Free Comic Book Day offerings - two from FCBD 2022: Avengers/X-Men #1 and one story with a surprise X-Twist from FCBD 2022: Spider-Man/Venom #1!

All three stories are fun... and offer your humble host some (uncharacteristic?) optimism about the near future of the X-Books!  Also: I willingly eat a bit of crow when I admit that Marvel (and DC) finally used the FCBD opportunity to actually deliver the goods... and reward reader loyalty!

Plus: A great Mailbag section!

Wrapping up volume 1 of the Marauders... with a season/series finale that establishes our status quo moving forward.  It's a bit piecey, and serves as a reminder of how uneven the back-half of this series has been!

It also ends on a cliffhanger... which everybody loves right before we leap into a brand-new #1, right?

Plus: An X-Tended Mailbag, This Week in X, and a look at what's headed our way from Marvel Previews (April, 2022)!

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!

As we stand on the precipice of Episode 300 - we're faced with... one'a those "tale of two stories" sorta issues.  We've got some great Hellfire stuff, including the return of Harry Leland... contrasted with some not-so-great "Bobby Drake reaches his potential for the skatey-eight hundredth time" sorta laziness... complete with "dur, hur, dragon in a diaper"!

We also talk a bit about what Episode 300 of X-Lapsed might be (Spoiler Alert: I haven't the foggiest!), plus a deep-dive on the September, 2021 sales charts!

Today we're talking trauma on several fronts - what happened to Wilhelmina?  What happened to Lourdes?  What was Emma forced to do?  We'll find out some of those answers today.  If you're hoping to see any actual Marauders this issue... well, I've got some bad news for ya.

We are cordially invited to the Hellfire Gala... and so, if you can find something outrageous and/or stupid enough to wear - I invite you to be my date!

Today we kick things off with sort of a bird's eye view on the event... it's a tough issue to analyze, since so many of the story threads will be fleshed out as we proceed... and so, this is mostly a recitation of events with very little in the way of analysis and editorializing.

But that's not all!  Come for the Gala, stay for the x-tended Mailbag Segment!

Well gang - today we've got an issue in which nothing noteworthy at all happens... absolutely nada - not even sure why we're wasting our time with it -- they certainly don't name-drop one of the more elusive movers and shakers of the Krakoa era... no, sir nor madam... nothing like that.

All kidding aside... if you've already read this one, you know we've got a LOT to chat about.  Let's buckle in and... theorize!

Also: The Return of the Mailbag and some more X-Lection News!

Welcome, friends - to the milestone 150th Episode of X-Lapsed!

Today we're celebrating by returning to one of our favorite story beats of the HoXPoX era -- the Crucible!  And boy, do we have a lot to talk about!

Also: Great Mail... and a new segment chatting up some recent-ish news in the World of X!  We got a cancellation and a Summer Event to parse!

I want to THANK everybody for helping me get to 150 episodes - I can say with 100% certainty that I couldn't have done it without your support!  Thank you all so much!

The #EcksofTens sword-hunt continues... this time taking Storm (and us) to Wakanda for the Skybreaker.  It's a story of sorta-kinda political intrigue - where the very valid question of Krakoan "ethnocentrism" is raised.  We'll definitely be talking about that!

Come along and ride on a fantastic... voyage?

Today we check in (and deal) with Pyro's diminutive stowaway, Yellowjacket... and talk a whole lot about some "Dawn of X problems" (that's "problems" with a little "p").  Also, we check in with Call Me Kate at the hatchery to see how she's cookin'.

Plus: Some amazing listener mail, where we recap a bunch of recent discussions and touch on (and labor over) some wildly interesting plot points.  Lots of "food for thought", I hope you'll join us!
