It's my hope that this program will run concurrently with the main X-Lapsed series while we wait for shipments of new books to arrive.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these Silver Age stories -- if there are any that especially stand out to you and you'd like to chat about 'em on the air - please don't be a stranger!

Generation X-Lapsed, Episode 09 - Generation X (vol.2) #9 (2018)

Generation X-Lapsed, Episode Nine

Generation X (vol.2) #9 (February, 2018)

Cover Price: $3.99
On-Sale: November 22, 2017

In the FINAL issue of Generation X (vol.2), we deal with the fallout of Kid Krakoa's accidental rampage through the streets of New York City... where, evidently, the Police and Emergency Services are too disinterested in taking a look at themselves... because it's all being left to our lovable loser squad (and Quentin Quire)!

Also: Jubilee gives Jono one heck of an arm hickey...

Next Time Out - It's Marvel Legacy!

Due to popular request... of around three people, and with the understanding and appreciation that the high episode numbering of the X-Lapsed program might be a turn off to a perspective listener, I have decided to make things a little bit easier by starting the The Collected X-Lapsed initiative.

For this initial episode, we go all the way back to the first dozen episodes of X-Lapsed, where I had an eight hour conversation with myself about House of X and Powers of X.  I had a ton of theories, hot takes, and worries for the X-Future... as well as my own X-Past.

If you've been X-Lapsed curious, but weren't sure where to start... well, here it is!  If you're a longtime listener, this will hopefully make it easier to revisit should you ever be on a very long road trip with nothing else to do!
