Why does Theresa Cassidy keep dying? Well, that's what X-Factor's going to have to find out... and it looks like getting those answers is going to be akin to pulling teeth for our heroes. There's a LOT of food for thought dropped in this issue... and as such, we've got tons to blabber about!

Plus: Great Mailbag... annnnd --

-- Since we're getting so close to catching up to "real time", I decided to take a dip into Marvel Previews to check out the X-Books shipping in April, 2021. We'll probably be doing this once a month from this point on... lemme know what you think!

Welcome to Earth, Arrako... hope we survive the X-Perience!

That's right, friends... it's with this issue of X-Men that the trade enforced at the conclusion of the Festival of Swords comes to pass. Arrako arrives in the 616... but, how quickly will these new near-Omega level mutants (who have been crossbred with Amenthi demons) acclimate to their new digs? We've got a lot to talk about today!

If you're digging the show... or at least appreciate the effort put into it, please consider spreading the word! Thank you!

It's a Mutant Milestone!

Today we indulge in some good ol' Marvel "voodoo math" in order to get our titular hairy hero up to his 350th issue! Here, believe it or not... Wolverine has to deal with someone from his past! Also, a very interesting concept in the Legacy House Auctions...

All that and our always great mailbag!

Heyyy, it's an issue of Excalibur from after our X-Tended Stay in Otherworld during #EcksofTens... any guesses where we're going to be headed today?

If you said "Why back to Otherworld, of course!"... well, I mean - where else would we be going? It's more squishing of our square-peg X-Characters into the round-magic-hole...

Ahem... we've got great mailbag though!

Welcome friends to the new Sunday Special Series!

Today we're going to begin our look at one of the series' that caused your humble host to head for the hills back in 2017... the anachronistic Generation X!

Since the issue itself doesn't give us a whole heckuva lot to talk about, today's episode will feature a lot of me yammering on about my life and times as a Gen X Gen Xer who read Gen X back in the long ago.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the series and the show! Please consider spreading the word if you enjoy!
