Who's hungry?

Today our pre-fight Dinner Party truly commences... with all sorts of Otherworldly "delicacies" (if you enjoy eating beetles and unicorn meat, that is). We also get to watch as our Arraki opponents continue to grow their newfound characters. It's wonderful that they're finally giving us a reason to care about these upcoming bouts!

A great issue, packed with drama and comedy - and gives us plenty of interesting "food" for thought.

All that and we got some X-Cellent Mailbag!

Writer - Fabian Nicieza

Pencils - Tom Morgan

Inks - Chris Ivy

Letters - Janice Chiang

Colors - Bob Sharen

Edits - Bobbie Chase

Chief - DeFalco

Cover Price: $1.50

Sooo... is Alpha Flight an X-Book? Well, if you ask my pal Sean (@Sean42AZ) and I, yeah - it totally is!

If only we had a better issue to bring you to kick off our coverage... because, friends - this is a weird, uneven... and mostly "deck-clearing" endeavor to make way for next creative team! We've got a Doctor Strange guest-appearance, lotsa "potty faces" and a highlight in the form of a Diamond Lil subplot being paid off.

Also: Sean shares with us his life and times as a comics and X-Fan - and sits in to rundown the October, 1991 Cool-O-Meter! It's a great time, and I'm looking forward to more! I hope you are as well.

Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back IN!

Now THIS is more like it!

Today we've all been invited to a pre-contest dinner party at the Starlight Citadel... and we will bear witness to some of our interchangeable antagonists actually developing a measure of personality! A wonderful (and much-needed) issue of Marauders!

Also: Great listener mail - including more about my comics secret shame!

Remember that story in X-Men #12 that we hated? Y'all wanna read it again? Well - we're gonna! I wish I was joking.

Today's episode discusses a chapter of #EcksofTens comprised almost entirely of art we already saw and paid for just a month or two earlier. It's the Creepy Summoner's History of Arrako... with a Genesis twist.

As always, there's great listener mail to help lighten the mood!

Here we are, friends - the halfway point of #EcksofTens!

What better way to celebrate than cramming this over-sized issue with... a whole bunch of lists? We'll see Kingdoms of Otherworld, both Fair and Foul... Swords of Arrako... Warriors of Arrako... Tarot Cards for the Krakoans... an ending we all saw coming - and, well - not much more. Least it's pretty to look at!

Also: Some X-Cellent and thought-provoking Listener Mail!
