X-Lapsed, Episode 351 - Legion of X #1 (2022)

X-Lapsed, Episode Three Hundred Fifty-One

Legion of X #1 (June, 2022)
"Do What Thou Wilt"
Writer - Si Spurrier
Art - Jan Bazaldua

Officially on the "Road to 400", today we're taking a look at the last ALL-NEW #DestinyofX offering, the follow-up to Way of X, which we enjoyed so much -- Legion of X!

We'll be hitting some potentially problematic topics here... including discussions of faith, justice, and how we treat one another.  Also: A sorta-kinda mailbag segment, which facilitates my mind wandering down Comics History Lane, where I follow-up on our discussion regarding CGC Slabs last episode, exploring the concept of "comics as collectible", and how the industry & fandom "DNA" has changed in (relatively) recent years.

It's a heavy episode, full'a heavy topics... and I'd love to have you "in" on the discussion!

X-Lapsed, Episode 324 - Death of Doctor Strange: X-Men/Black Knight #1 (2022)

X-Lapsed Death of Doctor Strange: X-Men/Black Knight #1

X-Lapsed, Episode Three Hundred Twenty-Four

Death of Doctor Strange: X-Men/Black Knight #1 (March, 2022)
Writer - Si Spurrier
Art - Bob Quinn
Colors - Israel Silva
Letters - VC's Cory Petit
Edits - Groneman, Cebulski
Cover Price: $4.99
On-Sale: January 19, 2022

We're back off the beaten path, with a tie-in to the Death of Doctor Strange storyline... which, features our flagship team... but, is really more a backdoor pilot for a follow-up to 2021's Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Whateverthehell miniseries.

Our favorite mutants are here, yes... but, honestly, (up until a reveal in the very last panel) it could've very well been ANY Marvel heroes.

It's well-told and beautiful though - just not as X-Relevant as I was hoping!

Today's episode is a very special one, as I'm joined by my great pal Walt (@waltkneeland) to discuss Way of X Number Si....err, X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation #1!  We'll share some of our experiences with the character, go deep on the issue itself, and discuss whether or not it was everything we hoped for when it was solicited!

Huge thanks to Walt for hangin' out!  If anyone listening wants to pop on as a special "tour guide" for a future show, please let me know!

It's a most bittersweet day here at X-Lapsed... as we wrap up the Way of X volume (but thankfully, not its story!).

Here we tackle and deconstruct the Third Krakoan Law "Respect this Sacred Land", discuss the mundanity of Mutant Death, and chat up the Onslaughtian Revelations we are gifted with.  This is (was) a wonderful series... and I am going to miss it dearly.

Also - Mailbag and Shout-Outs, Oh My!

In what might be the penultimate issue (but not penultimate chapter) of Way of X, we get the x-pected levels of amazingness from Spurrier and Quinn.  Awesome character work, and further x-ploration of the Krakoan Laws.

I tell ya what... at the risk of sounding crass - Way of X is the kind of book I just wanna sit back and let have its WAY with me!  If you're not reading this... you should be!

Also: Great Mailbag, This Week in X, and Shout-Outs!

If we were using Marvels Legacy Numbering, this would be X-Lapsed LGY#275!

And to commemorate, we're discussing one of the best books in the line!  Today, as Nightcrawler recovers from a raging hangover, he (and we) get a lesson in how Making More Mutants might not be the best "way" forward for the nation of Krakoa.

Also, some psychic-sexytime facilitated by Legion, and an appearance from a character from the Joe Casey era... and no, I'm not talking about Warp Savant!  It's a great issue... and a really fun conversation I had with myself - I'd love to hear your thoughts as well!

It's my favorite day of the X-Lapsed Month... Way of X day!

After reading the first issue of this series, I was sure nothing could ever top it... and then they went and DID!  A truly wonderful issue, indeed - listen to me gush over it for over a half hour!

If you only listen to one episode of X-Lapsed today... this should be it!

Folks, we have finally arrived at Way of X... our first "shoe drop" issue in quite some time.  It reads like something straight out of our very own Mailbag, and I cannot wait for more!

Nightcrawler is our POV character... and I can't think of anyone better to question the fact that... nobody else seems to question the goings on around Krakoa!

Plus: X-Cellent Mailbag... including our first ever "Day and Date" missive covering the very issue we're discussing here today!
