It's #EcksofTens... but, whatta we do when our titular hero already has his sword? Well, we kill some time fighting generic aliens - like ya do!

Kid Cable and his folks give the upcoming S.W.O.R.D. series a hand by sorta-kinda reintroducing the concept - and that's about it!

Today we explore the unbearable lightness of being... Doug Ramsay. Our favorite mutant translator has his hands full with the upcoming Contest of Swords, and we get a front-row seat to his sparring sessions.

We're going to be talking a lot about Doug, Warlock, and Magik today - I hope you'll all be there for the... uh, fun? Yeah, we'll go with that.

Plus: Great Mailbag action!

While the rest of our #EcksofTens books zig... Hellions zags! In a delightfully ZebWellsian tale - our team of inconvenient mutants seeks to swipe some swords... but, not the ones the heroes of Krakoa look to wield! Instead, they're looking to force a forfeit by snagging the Arakkii blades!

Plus - An unexpectedly deep and profound take on the Resurrection Protocols... from an equally unexpected source!

Also - Great Listener Mail!

The #EcksofTens sword-hunt continues... this time taking Storm (and us) to Wakanda for the Skybreaker. It's a story of sorta-kinda political intrigue - where the very valid question of Krakoan "ethnocentrism" is raised. We'll definitely be talking about that!

Also: Our always X-Cellent and thought-provoking Mailbag... in X-Tended form!

Wolverine went to Hell... and all he got was this lousy sword. Today we're wrapping up the Muramasa beat in our #EcksofTens SwordQuest - and, in the opinion of your humble host, spending far too many pages doing so!

Also: Some great stuff in the Mailbag - including more Maddie Pryor blibbuh-blabbuh!

It's X-Lapsed's five-month milestone episode... why do all our milestone issues feature Wolverine???
