It's the X-Men vs. the Brotherhood... fixed in a little different sort of way.

Today the hearts and minds of the less-warrish Arakkii are contested for... and we get plenty of food for thought regarding the potential tempests in the Marsarakko teapot!  Plus, an attempt at correcting a continuity gaffe that your humble host hasn't been able to shut up about since it happened!

I might rant a bit about attention to detail... and, how the fans who seem to care about things like continuity are usually mocked by the people who fail to adhere to it.  Please listen anyway!

Finally fleshing out the Marsarakkii!

In the follow-up to S.W.O.R.D. (vol.2), Al Ewing starts spillin' the beans on all things Arakki.  Seeds are planted for a team of Martian X-Men... as well as an All-New, All-Different... Brotherhood?!  It's off to a great start, and I hope you'll join me for the fun.

Also: I drone on more about Beast in the Mailbag + an x-tended rant about Marvel's current publishing and distribution woes

X-Lapsed 3:16 says... it's time to wrap up the Reign of X!

Today we close out the Hickman Era with an issue that feels like it might be about 15% of what the original vision intended for it to be.  It's a fine, fun, and exciting read... but, that's not going to stop us from actually attempting to analyze it!

We got lots to talk about!

Plus - some great mailbag... and the X-Planation as to your humble host's persona non-grata'ness among the (XCCC) X-Men Content Creation Community!

Things are finally heating up... it's just a shame it's taken until so close to the end to do so!  Today's episode is the very definition of the ol' X-Lapsed "shoe drop" chestnut -- we get plenty of answers... and, even some new questions, as we reach a literal "point of no return".

We've got a LOT to talk about!

Or, [X]Lapsed Annihilation, Episode 003!

Welcome friends, to the episode that marks one-year of daily podcasts here at the Chris and Reggie Channel!  That, and a couple'a bucks ought to get me a cuppa cheap coffee - but, hey - it's still something I can say I did!

Today we're keeping with the Last Annihilation gimmick, and getting our S.W.O.R.D. cast on the board... and boy are they snarky.  Well, Abigail Brand is, anyway.

All this, plus some great Mailbag, wherein we talk a bit about the S.W.O.R.D. title getting too tangled with crossovers, as well as some deep philosophical chatter regarding Nightcrawler's faith and depiction over in Way of X!

It's a fun time as always... thank you all so much for allowing me to keep you company this past year!

As the Hellfire Gala looms ever nearer, today's issue is basically an opportunity for us to be reminded that Storm was an integral part of the Marauders team... despite the fact that she's hardly done anything with them over the past couple of years worth of stories!

It's Ororo's farewell dinner... with plenty of sorta-kinda forced emotion and jokes about knives.

Plus: Great Mailbag and I complain about how quick social media is to spoil every beat of every story coming out!

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!

Who's hungry?

Today our pre-fight Dinner Party truly commences... with all sorts of Otherworldly "delicacies" (if you enjoy eating beetles and unicorn meat, that is).  We also get to watch as our Arraki opponents continue to grow their newfound characters.  It's wonderful that they're finally giving us a reason to care about these upcoming bouts!

A great issue, packed with drama and comedy - and gives us plenty of interesting "food" for thought.

All that and we got some X-Cellent Mailbag!

We're officially on the "Path to" X of Swords - Follow along with all the fun with #EcksofTens

We've still got a few problems to solve before we hop into crossover mode, however... and one of 'em won't stop telling us to "call her Kate".  With today's comic, we will, by hook or by crook, put that problem behind us.  How will they do it?  Well, maybe they'll finally remember Kitty's entire mutant gimmick?

Also: Some excellent feedback in the mailbag - including some discussion of The Crucible from X-Men (vol.5) #7!  It's a great time as always - I hope you decide to join us!

Today we usher in the double-digits era for our Wave One Dawn of X books... starting with Marauders!  This is also a notable issue for being the first DoX book to hit the shelves after the current pandemic set in.  Can it possibly live up to the x-pectations of the starving X-Fandom?  Well... I suppose your mileage may vary.

To Me, My X-Lapsed!

Today we're going to discuss the necessary "next step" issue of Marauders, in which, much of our team finds out exactly what happened to Call Me Kate.  It's an issue of reactions - which I myself will react to, and have a good time doing so.  There's also some mutant on nameless, faceless mercenary goon violence... which never gets boring (citation needed).

X-Lapsed goes back to business as usual, with a look at one of our core Dawn of X books - a rather transitional issue of Marauders.  Call Me Kate is still M.I.A., and the Hellfire Tots continue to put their plans in motion.

All that, and I talk way too long about my adventures in Rio Verde, Arizona... while thanking the creative team for actually depicting an area of the state I live in as being something other than the setting for a Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoon!

Also: Some (wildly optimistic?) housekeeping... with an eye toward the next fifty-plus episodes of this program!
