The Boneyard's Haunted... by X-Factor?!

Today's episode features plenty of Mutant death... and morr of the Morrigan. It also feels a bit truncated - which will likely be today's "watchword"

Also: A very challenging Mailbag for your humble host, who tries not to stumble over his words too badly.

After a year of delays... it's finally time to meet, well - whoever these Children of the Atom turn out to be!

In this opening chapter, we get elbows deep into the mystery of who... and/or what these characters might end up being! Are the Chimeras? Are the high on MGH? Are they just really good Cosplayers?

... and how come they changed the last page of this issue when it published digitally? I make a lot of wild theories... and I'd love to hear yours as well!

Also: An X-Cellent Mailbag Segment!

Another day - Another Wolverine guest-appearance! I do believe that we might wind up eventually doubling our episode count including all of Logan's wandering around the 616!

Today, after sorting out a misunderstanding with the Runaways, Wolverine and Pixie set out to rescue a brand-new mutant -- and bring the Runaways with 'em for good measure!

If you don't listen... Nico might just transform you into an ice cream cone!

In today's x-tra size milestone episode, we find out what Arcade and that elf from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special had in common. Hint: It has to do with teeth!

Also: Our titular Hellions face off against their deepest, darkest desires... and maybe grind up on a robot manikin or two. I promise this is a book worth reading... and, hopefully an episode worth hearing.

All that and some great and thought-provoking listener mail!

Thanks to everyone for their support over these last one hundred and seventy-five episodes!

We're still "off the beaten path" here... and, we're looking at - of all things, an issue of M.O.D.O.K.: Head Games! Whodathunkit?

We've got a little playful shade thrown at our Head of X... and a fun little adventure through the white-space with one of our new favorites - The Unbelievable Gwenpool!

Speaking of "unbelievable" - I can't believe I just read a M.O.D.O.K. comic where I a) felt bad with him, and 2) wanted to read more! It's an #XLapsed Miracle!

It's the Hotpants Issue of Generation X - we've got a couple couples getting ready to start coupling... well, three couples I guess, if we count the Fenris Twins (let's not!).

A fun issue... and a promising start to the second half of this run!
