Our X-Amination of the X-Ploits of the Silver Age X-Men continues... as we recommence our travels down crappy villain corridor... dealing with the likes of El Tigre and the Ogre. Thankfully, this leads us to an actual direction for our young mutants... plus, a new member (and field leader) in The (not-even-a-mutant... at the time) Mimic! The direction in question is... well, not a great one, as it's the seemingly interminable FACTOR THREE storyline! Are you ready for this? Probably not...

Mentallo, in the pages of Strange Tales - a three-part adventure starring Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

All that, and our usual Silver Age Back-Matter, including Letters Pages and Bullpen Bulletins!

A bit of a shorter MasterworX compilation this time out in order to compile all three of our "Off the Beaten Path" Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D./Mentallo episodes into the next bunch... but, a fun group of issues all the same!

Today we'll see the torch passed, as Stan Lee makes his exit as the writer of our merry Mutants, welcoming Rascally Roy Thomas who'll take over the chore for the next few years! We're going to tangle with Magneto, meet The Mimic... and get a bit more Luciferian gobbledygook!

Plus: All the usual Silver Age backmatter (Letters Pages, Ads, Bullpen Bulletins) you can handle!

Happy New Year!

X-Lapsed MasterworX, Episode 4

X-Lapsed MasterworX 4 - FF Annual X-Men

X-Lapsed MasterworX, Episode Four

(00:00:00) X-Men #13: "Where Walks the Juggernaut!"
(00:31:55) Fantastic Four Annual #3: "Bedlam at the Baxter Building!"
(01:02:47) X-Men #14: "Among Us Stalk... the Sentinels!"

Cover Price: 12-25¢/per

In today's compilation of the X-Men's Silver Age X-Ploits we wrap up their first run-in with the Juggernaut, discuss all three part of the initial Sentinels/Master Mold storyline, and bring back their most dread foe!

Perhaps most importantly, however, we take a look at the Original Five's highest profile guest appearance to date... what might be the most vital Marvel Comic of its day -- the star-studded, shared-universe confirming, Fantastic Four Wedding of Sue Storm and Reed Richards!

It's a great time as always, and as always - chock full of Silver Age backmatter and ephemera, including deep-dives on the "Let's Visit the X-Men" mailbag, the Bullpen Bulletins, the Merry Marvel Marching Society... and even some less-gestalty, yet still wonderful, listener feedback!

Consider letting me keep you company for a few hours today!

In our third compilation of the X-Ploits of the Silver Age X-Men, the Marvel Universe tour continues -- pitting our heroes against the Avengers for the first of a billion times!

Also, they have their sure-to-be final confrontation with Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants... EVER! After which, the two fan-favorites from that crew have to decide where their allegiances lay -- will Wanda and Pietro make dozens of letterhacks happy by joining the X-Men... or, will they wind up somewhere altogether un-x-pected instead?!

Speaking of letterhacks - each of the X-Men segments in this collection feature a full-blown discussion of the Letters Pages, as well as the proto-Bullpen Bulletins!

For our second MasterworX compilation, we x-plore the X-Men's first crossovers... having them cross paths with the likes of the Fantastic Four and Iron Man... while Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has a run-in with The Mighty Thor!

We also advance the X-Men's own story... including an episode that has some sort of weird temporal anomaly... not sure if y'all can help me out with this, but - during X-Men #8, the pages get a bit fuzzy... and the art and writing style changes a bit for a blink of an eye. Hmm... it's probably nothing important!

All that, plus the original letters pages, the proto-Bullpen Bulletins, and much more!
