Episode 3 of From Claremont to Claremont rolls on!  Today, I'm joined by my pal Jesse Starcher (@stiznarkey & @sourcematcast) to discuss a pair of weird offerings from the Excalibur corner of our little X-Universe - Excalibur #45 continues from our Nightcrawler subplot, and the prestige-format Excalibur: Air Apparent is... well, your guess is as good as ours!  It's weird, and it's fun to talk about - that much is for sure!

Once that's all out of the way, Jesse will share with us the "Soundtrack of His Life", and it's a wonderful conversation - that we hope you all enjoy!  Please send us YOUR picks for your own "Soundtrack of Your Life", we'd love to hear them!

Also, let us know if you're enjoying these FCTC Episodes in "Segment Form" rather than in the 12-14 hour compiled form - and also, if you'd like to see the first two episodes broken up the same way for potentially "easier consumption"!  Thank you!

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...

It's a great time, and a great issue - I hope you'll join us!

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?

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...

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!

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!
