The weekend kinda got away from me, and so - in lieu of an all-new episode, we're indulging in another compilation piece.  And, I mean, let's face it -- it's doubtful anybody's gonna bother listening even if it WAS new... so, whattayagonnado?

Today we're looking at the wildly disjointed... and rather unnecessary run of Giant-Size specials the Head of X was putting out during the Dawn of X era.  Storm's sick... like really, really sick... so sick that it's never mentioned in ANY other books she appears in!  Don't worry though, she gets better.

Plus: We've got not one, but TWO iterations of "Baby's First Grant Morrison Comic" in a callback to the "Silence!  Psychic Rescue in Progress" Nuff Said! issue of New X-Men and a dip into Fantomex's The World.

Also: Magneto makes a deal with Namor to procure a certain island that will be the site of a certain Gala.  Oh, you didn't know there was a Gala coming up?

That time we all bought the next issue of New Mutants... and weren't sure if we were reading things in the right order!  Instead of a swashbuckling adventure in the stars with the Shi'ar... we were dropped on the Bohusk farm Nebraska with Armor, Glob, and a drunken Boom-Boom!

That's not the only story we get here though!  We'll also head off to draft Cosmar to the Krakoan Cause, as well as dealing with the weird anti-mutant tabloid web-site DOX... which, yer humble host was somewhat stupidly x-cited for!

X-Force continues to be the unsung flagship book of the Dawn of X era, with Benjamin Percy's sophomore collection!  The stories being told might not be to everybody's liking, however, I don't think anybody can argue that stuff actually HAPPENS in this book... which immediately puts it head and shoulders over most of the X-Offerings in late 2019/early 2020!

This time out, we get into some deep (and potentially problematic) discussion on the topic of suicide in the age of resurrection!  Are we more than a collection of our experiences... and, if not -- is it okay to jettison some of those more troublesome experiences to make your next "go round" more productive?

Also - This IS a Ben Percy book, so we've got plenty of Russians and INFO PAGE abuse!

All 'at and all my usual nonsense - I hope you decide to gimme a shot!

This volume starts off pretty strong, with a two-parter that -- believe it or not, does NOT take place in Otherworld!  Sadly, this is short-lived... and, I'm fairly certain we don't get another issue from this entire volume of Excalibur that doesn't deal with Otherworld... best enjoy it while it lasts!

After that fun two-parter, we're back to business as usual... Fair This, Foul That, Crooked These, Opal Luna Those... it's our messy build-up to EcksofTens and Beyond... in that current-year Excalibur style!

From Feast to Famine... and back to Feast again!

The sophomore volume of Hickman's flagship is... uneven.  It starts off amazingly strong, with one of the seminal stories of this entire era, and the source for many of our podcast discussions... the introduction of the Crucible!

From there, he wastes a bunch of our time with the Brood, a "funny, ha-ha" with Broo eating an Egg, a Deadly Genesis continuity error that breaks one of the ONLY rules associated with the Resurrection Protocols... then Empyre cash-ins!  At least ONE of those Empyre cash-ins was fun to read!

This is an interesting assortment... I've often wondered how folks who ONLY read the flagship were "receiving" this new era -- here's a chance to find out!

For the first time in two years... it's FALLEN ANGELS day here at the channel - and, if history is any indication, today's the episode even FEWER people will download and listen to!

Ah well... whattayagonnado?  Today we're compiling the story whose only value is that it accidentally (?) led to something pretty interesting in Hellions!  The art's interesting too... so there's that!

Anyhoo, it's three and a half hours of Fallen Angels... which is probably three hours and fifteen minutes longer than anyone else on the planet spent talking about it... possibly even combined!

Welcome to the book that, at first blush, I thought might be the actual low-key flagship of the Dawn of X line!  Which is to say, we've got something of a team here... and stuff actually happens!  Also, the Resurrection Protocols are TRULY put to the test in this one!

A world of fantasy and magic awaits... whether we want it or not.

We're about to deep-dive on a book where it's ALL Otherworld, just about ALL the time.  Maybe it'll make more sense in this Triple-Dip "collected" format?  You'll have to let me know!

So, get ready to join Betsy Britain, Ayyyyy, and the whole cast of Excalibur as they... do magic stuff, and muck around with weird royalty.

Revisiting the next of our Dawn of X opening arcs, with - what started out as the most consistently good book of the post-HoXPoX launch!  Call Me Kate takes center stage, and we're introduced to a very fun team of high-seas sailors... until our creative team forgot about like 80% of them!

For this first arc, though -- it's great stuff!

Is this the first time you've checked out X-Lapsed?  Are you an X-Lapsed-Lapsed listener who may've dropped off after having your pod-feeds slammed by my barrage of content?  Please let me know, I'd love to hear from you all!

Since 300+ episodes is quite the daunting task for any potential new listener... welcome to the X-Lapsed "Triple-Dip" -- the third time I'm sharing these episodes, however, rather than sorting them by where they'd appear in the Dawn of X Anthologies (as shown in The Collected X-Lapsed series of shows)... we're doing these by series!

If you missed out on the earliest issues of Jonathan Hickman's run on X-Men (vol.5), here's your chance to start playing catch-up with Chris!

If you missed out on House of X and Powers of X, the complete eight or so hour discussion of that storyline can be found in The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode One, available in the archives!

Is this your first time giving X-Lapsed a try?  Are you a listener who's become X-Lapsed-Lapsed?  I'd love to hear from you - please consider dropping me a line to let me know what you think!
