That beeping sound you hear is a dump truck... backing up, about to drop about 5000 lbs. of exposition right on top of us - and, unfortunately, all we've got are these tiny li'l 5 lb. bags!

It's everything you wanted to know about Arakko... but never knew you were supposed to ask! #EcksofTens can't come quick enough!

A somewhat Giant-Sized episode to discuss a Giant-Size issue... wherein we barely talk about the comic, because - well, not a whole heckuva lot happens that's worth talking about!

There IS however an X-Tended and X-Cellent Mailbag segment, wherein we will discuss some eXLapsedination theories, chat up some divisive books, and ask some much-needed questions about clones and the Resurrection Protocols! We'd love it if you joined us!

How do you solve a problem like Candra? Or, the rest of the Externals for that matter? Welp, ya do a little literal soul-searching... I think.

This is a confusing one, gang - I think I'm falling prey to the "Otherworld Effect"... save yourselves!

We're still on the Path to #EcksofTens - and our man Hank McCoy is engaging in some mutant profiling to aid in tracking down the Cerebro Sword. It's a sticky read... made even stickier when you notice all the details.

Plus - Our usual X-Cellent Mailbag segment!

We're still in the "current year" Mojoverse... and your humble host is doing his best to adapt. Will this be the issue that breaks me? (Spoiler Alert: No).

Some strong scenes in this issue, as well as a returning 'star straight from my wheelhouse as an X-Fan.

Also: Great listener mail, including a sorta-kinda "live-tweeted" tour through Empyre(colon)X-Men!

After pressing through the "Countdown to", we're into the event miniseries proper! It's an issue with a couple of casualties (one notable... one, less so)... as well as an introduction of a character who looms large in our current Dawn of X landscape!

We'll talk a lot (ie. project) about potential original plans for the original five... and what that might've meant for X-Men lore. If the time-displaced crew were a) from the 616, and b) sent back to the past with the knowledge of everything that was yet to come... what might that have meant for our current-day continuity?

Could they have originally been intended as an in-story reboot mechanism for our mutant heroes? Probably not... but, we're going to have fun playing "What if...?" anyway!

I'd love to hear (and share) your hot-takes on this issue as well. If you've got any, please don't hesitate to send 'em in!
