It's the end of an era... as we (finally) wrap-up XLADOW (xlaydo/xlahdo)!  After all the build up, does this issue knock it out of the park... or, end with a thud?  C'maaaaahn, you've read Marvel events before... what do YOU think?

As underwhelming and unsatisfying a conclusion this might be -- it does give us some opportunity to reflect.  Is that a good thing?  Ehh, listen and find out!

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!

Back when we started down XLADOW (xladow) way, your humble host overused the term "batspit insane" to describe it... and, that was meant as a compliment.  With today's issue, the Lives and Deaths of Wolverine takes a turn... while still being completely batspit insane.

We've got a lot to talk about...

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!

We're back over in the Moira-half of our event miniseries's's's... and this time, her heel-turn is in full swing!  Back in the long ago we'd refer to this as a "shoe drop" issue - In that Mighty Marvel Fashion: some'a the stuff we thought we knew... might not exactly be right... sorta.

Plus: I talk s'more about how the original vision for Krakoa seems to have changed over the past couple of years.  Yes... still.

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!

X-Lapsed, back again!

Today, after a heartfelt "thank you" to all of the wonderful, supportive friends and listeners out there, we check back in on the crossovent of the season - XLADOW!

It's not a perfect little ditty, but is quite fun... and has comicbooky charm for days.

Plus: The return of the (abbreviated) Mailbag!

Thanks again for stickin' with me, gang!

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!

And now for something completely different!

An issue in which our titular hero takes a backseat to the TRUE star of this half of the series... Moira McTaggert?!

Have you been wondering what she's been up to since her x-ile from Krakoa in Inferno #4?  Well... wonder no more, because we pick up with her right as she's gotten the boot!  It's as bat-spit insane as X Lives... but, with some continuity kvetches that yer humble host just can't get passed... past... whichever is the right word to use there!

Ya boy is also dealing with a hammering of seasonal allergies... so, apologies if I sound even worse than usual today!

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!
