Wrapping up the X Lives half of XLADOW, the only way we possibly can... with Wolverine and Omega Red slappin' meat for a half-dozen pages!  After the raucous and unpredictable first half of this event, this almost feels like an anticlimax!

Plus, I theorize over what Mikhail Rasputin's ultimate goal was here... and, basically try and stop myself from talking too much without yet having read X Deaths!  It's a decently fun time, I sure hope you'll join me!

XLADOW (xladow) rolls on, and today's issue is like a collection of current-year variant covers!  You want an Omega Reddified Wolverine?  We got one!  Howsabout a Venomized one?  We got that too!  This batspit-insane event keeps trudging forward... but, seems to be stubbing its toe on tropes with every step.

And just you wait for the cliffhanger!

With the Secret X-Men "roadblock" out of our way -- business might just be about to start pickin' up again!  Today we cross the halfway point of our XLADOW crossovent coverage -- and, while your humble host is still having a great time with it, even he's gotta admit that the seams are beginning to show.

Hopefully these concerns are addressed before we get out the other end of this one!  In any event, these are some fun comics!

Plus: Another toe-dip into the Mailbag -- hopefully business'll start pickin' up there as well!

Back in the XLADOW saddle, where our premise is beginning to make a bit more sense (at least to your denser-than-most humble host).  We follow our titular hero through various phases of his life... where he's granted both the opportunity to protect and save an Xavier... as well as perhaps right a few of his own past wrongs -- Chekhov's Butterfly Effect looms large here, gang!

Will this series wind up shaking the foundations of the Krakoan Era... or, just be a DC Comics Convergence-like nothin'?  I suppose we'll find out together!

We have finally arrived - the Reign of X (and the Reign of the HEAD of X) are firmly in the rear-view, and we can now move forward into the next phase of our Krakoan Epic!

Today... we discuss a bat-spit insane but wonderfully fun first issue of the XLADOW story, wherein our titular hero engages in some Quantum Leaping, mixed with some Assassin's Creeding, with just a dash of Days of Future Pasting.  I have NO idea where this might be headed... and, I can't wait to find out!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and theories on this!
