Welcome back, Trade-Waiters!

For our third compilation/anthology episode - we're taking a look at the difficult second issues of each of our DoX launch books, in which they all sorta go their own way.  I gotta wonder, while incredibly convenient... was this a satisfying read if you were following along via the anthology trades?

Anyways, in the wake of the apparent assassination last time out, Krakoa is... well, I would say "high alert", but nah, they're all still dancing around that bonfire like nothing even happened.

The Summers's's's have an outing that introduces the Creepy Summoner, Betsy is Captain Britain, Call Me Kate gets coronated, the New Mutants annoy the Starjammers, Quentin Quire smells like Axe Bodyspray, and Fallen Angels... exists.

If these compilation episodes are the first time you're diving into the X-Lapsed Universe - I'd love to hear from you!

Two issues in, and the CoTA kids are already in repeats!

In this very similar to the first issue issue... the CoTAs face off against the Hell's Belles... are approached by some Krakoans about going "home"... and stand longingly in front of the Coney Island Krakoan Gateway!

Hey, but the Avengers show up for two pages... so there's that!

Plus: Great Mailbag, and a F.A. Comics History piece on the many, many, many appearances of The Hell's Belles!

Today's is a most malicious issue of Excalibur... which, thank whoever's listening, does not take place in Otherworld!  It does have a Betsy/Kwannon team-up though... which is something that's getting a bit long in the tooth itself, innit?

We're going to be learning a lot about Malice McMallister... and talking about some iffy-Resurrection Protocol shenanigans.

Also: Great Mailbag

Also Also: Reign of X Summer of Bloat News!

Also Also Also: A Brand-New Segment - F.A. Comics History, where we're going to cover the quick and dirty on Malice!

Welcome to Marvel Legacy, Gang!  We're back to our Legacy Numbering and everything... and by "everything", I mean... well, that's basically it.  Nothing else about this screams "legacy", but... we can't have everything, now can we?

Here, as Generation X barrels toward its conclusion, we're seeing all of our main story threads converge in a most convenient way.  We've got two issue-sodes left after this!
