In which your stumblin', fumblin', humble host hits his personal "tipping point" as it pertains to mutant deaths. Sure, the Resurrection Protocols of the HoXPoXDoXSoX era have changed the "rules"... but, with this issue, it's almost turned to parody. We'll talk a lot about that today...

Also: More great listener mail!

Dawn of X, Wave Two rolls on with the introduction of a very bizarre book, indeed - it's Hellions!

What happens when you put Sassy Sinister in charge of a group of "inconvenient mutants"? Well, we're about to find out. This is a book that should NOT work - but, damned if it doesn't! We're gonna have fun with this one!

Also: A Giant-Size (and somewhat emotional) mailbag segment! Thank you all for helping to push the Chris and Reggie Channel over 100,000 downloads!

Today we're going Giant-Size to discuss an issue that claims to focus on Nightcrawler... and, while he IS in this story - the more accurate title for this might've been Giant-Size X-Men: Magik. We're going to talk about continuity and costs here... as our entire story is built to add a resident to Krakoa, who we already saw pass through the portal months ago!

Also: An actual Giant-Size Mailbag segment, talking about all things HoXPoXDoXSoX! It's a great time as always, I do hope you'll join us!

Today we wrap up the Major X miniseries proper... and, well - I wish I could say we've got a lot to talk about... but, we don't! We will see some Deadpool-on-Deadpool action... and our big-bad will get taken down by the Care Bear Stare. I will also rail on about inconsistencies in the depiction of our titular character.

Just one more episode to go... if we're bad enough dudes and dudettes to see our way through!

A little something different for your Saturday!

Your humble host has been long dragging his feet on releasing the next full (12+ hour long) episode of From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast - however, today I'm dropping the segment where Jody Yerdon (@regalfan) and I discuss the final issue of the Chris Claremont run - X-Men (vol.2) #3 (December, 1991).

In addition to covering the issue itself, we also include a bit of a "hook" in that Jody (along with the rest of the FCTC hosts) will share with us the "Soundtrack of Their Life" - It's a very fun conversation - and I hope you all enjoy, and maybe even share some of the songs that would be on your own playlists!

For the handful of folks who even remember that FCTC was even a "thing", I apologize for taking forever to start releasing these!

The First Two Episodes of From Claremont to Claremont:

Episode 1 https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-5rv7d-d8251c

Episode 2 https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-cmb5r-db1878

What's (no longer) Eating Neena Thurman?

Today, after a short stint in [dead], we welcome Domino back to the X-Force fold -- only, she's a little bit different than last we left her. For one, well - she's alive, but for another - she's no longer tormented by all of the things she suffered toward the end of her previous life. We will be asking questions...

Also: More great listener mail... and a whole lot of my babbling! It's a fun show as usual, I hope you'll decide to join us!
