From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 3e - Excalibur #45 & Air Apparent
Friday, December 18, 2020
X-Lapsed, Episode 088 - X-Men #10 (2020)
Just when we thought it was safe to read another issue of X-Men -- Empyre rears its ugly (and horrendously dull) head!
Today, in what might be the shortest episode of this program yet, we focus on Vulcan... as he happens across a bunch of nothin' happenin' aliens, while talking a lot about the fire that burns inside him.
Also: Petra and Sway get drunk... because, it's not an issue of Dawn of X without somebody getting wasted -- unfortunately for me, your humble host doesn't drink. Maybe I ought to start...

X-Lapsed, Episode 087 - Cable #2 (2020)
After an X-Tended absence, Cable (vol.4) is back - and boy, is this one fun issue! Today our titular character is titillated by a Cuckoo or five, before running in with some'a ROM's old running buddies. Also: We pop back over to the Otherwhere, where Old Man Cable shoots things in the face!
It's a great time, and a great issue - I hope you'll join us!

X-Lapsed, Episode 086 - X-Factor #1 (2020)
Hello Friends - today we finally round out our Dawn of X Wave Two #1's - and your humble host totally forgets to rank them from best to worst... hopefully, I'll remember for next time!
Today we welcome X-Factor to the fold - and I begin this episode by recounting my life and times as a fan of the title... and just how important it was in my earliest days of X-Fandom! We will then discuss the book cover-to-cover... and, whattayaknow, talk about what I liked and didn't like about it! Sounds just like a comic review show, doesn't it?

X-Lapsed, Episode 085 - Empyre: X-Men #4 (2020)
We finally reach the end of our Empyre-sploitation... the miniseries I thought would never end. Today's episode and issue sees Explodey Boy talking to himself... and several pages devoted to Doctor Strange calling the Scarlet Witch an idiot.
At least it's over...

X-Lapsed, Episode 084 - Empyre: X-Men #3 (2020)
The Empyre-sploitation rolls on... and Jamie Madrox is a-okay with his dupes being eaten by zombies! Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about that. It's not ALL bad though... this issue might feature the best portrayal of Beast in many, many years! Sure, it's only like two-pages... but, it's something!
All that and some great and thought-provoking letters in our mailbag!

Phoenix ResurreX-Lapsed, Episode 02 - Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey #2 (2018)
Mutant psychics have gone missing... there's fire in the skies... and the X-Men have a pretty good idea what might be responsible - and so, they break into a bunch of teams to MacGuffin-hunt!
Also: The Elsewhere Diner gets itself a patron with the ability to bend spoons...
Still having a lot of fun with this "Sunday Special Series"... and I hope you are as well!
