Welcome, friends - to a giant-size installment of The Collected X-Lapsed!

It's time to kick off EcksofTens... and so, let's spend the next eight or so hours tracking down swords we're not going to use!  This episode includes the entire first-half of the... twenty-two part crossover event, plus as a special "bonus", I've included my look at the X-Men Free Comic Book Day 2020 special - so we can see the potential changes that were made to X of Swords during the Covid-hiatus... and also, you can hear me kvetch about what a waste FCBD truly is!

It'll be a good time... or, at the very least I'll help getcha through an entire day of work!

That awkward volume where you're dealing with not one, but two mass-crossover events, and just trying to keep your head above water!

Today's compilation piece is part Empyre... and part X of Swords - I suppose we could (and should) blame the Covid-Hiatus on this, but still - it makes for a very odd reading x-perience.  I couldn't imagine what trade-waiters thought when they picked this one off the shelf!

Also: I so hate to do this to y'all... but, the first two parts of Empyre: X-Men are a part of this collection as well -- so, they're ba-ack!

We're finally here... the star-studded 200th Episode of X-Lapsed!  Today we're making good on a discussion that was supposed to happen way back in Episode 112 of this program... but, became delayed over and over again due to me family's never-ending moving woes!

Well, the moving woes are still ongoing... but, I figured this special GIANT-SIZE episode would make a really fun milestone episode, and so - over the course of the past several weeks, I have had the pleasure of sitting down with a great group of pals to discuss each and every entry in the X of Swords Handbook!

I assured them all that these segments would take up "10-15 minutes tops"... well, nearly eleven hours later... here we be!

I want to thank everybody who took part in not only this episode, but the entire #XLapsed journey to this point.  It really means the world to me, more than I can adequately put into words!

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.

Today we explore the unbearable lightness of being... Doug Ramsay.  Our favorite mutant translator has his hands full with the upcoming Contest of Swords, and we get a front-row seat to his sparring sessions.

We're going to be talking a lot about Doug, Warlock, and Magik today - I hope you'll all be there for the... uh, fun?  Yeah, we'll go with that.

Plus: Great Mailbag action!
