The Search for the Swords has begun -- and it's taking our titular hairy hero straight to Hell? Well, I guess that's as good a place as any - but, to paraphrase from our theme song: "Well, how did we GET here?"

Will we get that answer? Uhh... please listen anyway!

Also, the Mailbag is a'rockin! We hope you join in on the discussion!

As we reach the 1/11th point of this massive crossover event, your humble host's barometer moves from "neutral" to "positive" - as what we get here is a wonderfully solid bit of storytelling that really amps up the threat... and includes something these books have been missing since the get-go: actual STAKES!

The Resurrection Protocols and yours truly have the same problem, and it's name is "Otherworld"! We're gonna talk a LOT about that... as well as the Father-Daughter relationship between a couple of magnetic personalities, and much, much more!

Also - The always X-Cellent Mailbag! Some great discussions to be had here - and I do so hope you'll join in on the fun!

Plus - The opportunity for you (yes, YOU) to guide the X-Men into their next phase... as Marvel.com is currently holding an election wherein WE the readers can choose the final member of the new X-Men team! Vote runs from today until February 2! Be sure your voice is heard -- and also, mebbe let your pal Chris know who you voted for!

Today's episode of X-Lapsed takes us a bit off the beaten path inasfar as our Dawn of X coverage has gone... and right into your humble host's own personal X-Fan wheelhouse! Today's issue was written by Fabian Nicieza, who loomed large in the X-Braintrust when I was just finding my footing in the franchise... and who really informed my take on what the X-Men are. Mr. Nicieza is also, in a roundabout way, responsible for my becoming pals with a real good buddy of mine - and I'll tell ya how today!

Also: More Mailbag - and some Ecks of Tens housekeeping!
