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!

Burn it Down!

We've finally arrived at Inferno... and your humble host has NOT yet been spoiled!  This is one that takes me back to our earliest episodes... wherein I was making wild and outlandish theories, noticing all sorts of symbolism that may or may not exist, and didn't trust anything I was seeing!  In other words, I had a LOT of fun with this!

I hope to hear all of YOUR wild theories on this one too!  The crazier the better!

S.W.O.R.D. takes us into some Hellfire Gala fallout... and, it's all pretty great!  To say any more would be to spoil it... and, since the events of this story WERE spoiled for your humble host, I will do you all the kindness of saying no more!

S.W.O.R.D. has done the impossible... made me feel sympathy for Fabian friggin' Cortez!  Today's episode features a Quiet Council pile-on on the poor former Acolyte... who is given the floor to make a plea, but is not even given a pair of boxers post bursting outta his goldball!

There's also some Snarkwar stuff... but ain't nobody got time for that!

Plus: Great Mailbag and chatting a bit about the INFERNO announcement!

Spotlight on: Manifold -- the teleporter who isn't a teleporter... or something.

This is a fine issue that manages to walk the difficult tightrope between moving the S.W.O.R.D. story moving forward... while playing into the King in Black mass-crossover event!  We've got a few mysteries introduced here -- it's going to be fun to try and suss 'em out!

Also: Mailbag & News regarding "The Summer of Reign of X"!

It's the King in Black tie-in that wasn't... well, it wasn't "officially branded" as such, anyway - but it totally is!

Today we'll talk all about how little I know about the King in Black event... other than to say, it sounds like pretty much EVERY Marvel mass crossover event, just with a gooey coat of paint!

Also: Great Mailbag!

Today we kick off our first Reign of X, Wave One, Number One... with a trip into (believe it or not) outer space!  Whodathunkit, a current-year X book taking place in space!

What we have here is a wonderfully weird assortment of characters... and, if you ask your humble host, a kind of "eh" mission statement.

Let's give it a goo!
