If you only listen to one episode of X-Lapsed today... this should be it!

Folks, we have finally arrived at Way of X... our first "shoe drop" issue in quite some time.  It reads like something straight out of our very own Mailbag, and I cannot wait for more!

Nightcrawler is our POV character... and I can't think of anyone better to question the fact that... nobody else seems to question the goings on around Krakoa!

Plus: X-Cellent Mailbag... including our first ever "Day and Date" missive covering the very issue we're discussing here today!

S.W.O.R.D. has done the impossible... made me feel sympathy for Fabian friggin' Cortez!  Today's episode features a Quiet Council pile-on on the poor former Acolyte... who is given the floor to make a plea, but is not even given a pair of boxers post bursting outta his goldball!

There's also some Snarkwar stuff... but ain't nobody got time for that!

Plus: Great Mailbag and chatting a bit about the INFERNO announcement!

Logan and Licia's Merry Chase thru Madripoor continues... and every merc worth their salt is hot on their trail - well, Deadpool shows up, anyway.

A fun issue that only makes me wish there were more hours in the day to devote to non-X comics!

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode 2 - ElfQuest #2 (1985)

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode Two

ElfQuest #2 (September, 1985)

"Journey to Sorrow's End"

By Wendy & Richard Pini

Colors - Glynis Oliver (uncredited)

EPIC Editor - Archie Goodwin

Chief - Jim Shooter

Cover Price: $0.75 USD / $1 CAN

They've been through the desert on a wolf with no name...

After a long layoff, the Chris's's's are finally back to begin the the Quest of the Wolfriders in earnest!  This time out, our tiny heroes try and strike a deal with some crafty Trolls... and find themselves in quite a mess... stranded in a desert wasteland with absolutely nothing on the horizon.  It's a good thing Skywise has that hunk of rock he won't stop talking about!

Will our Elves make it to safety?  Will they keep banded together even in these most trying times?  Will Redlance (somehow) prove even more useless?  The answers to all those questions, and many many more lay within this episode!

Also: In our grand Morituri Mondays style, we go through the Bullpen Bulletins, chat up some notable ads... and go (relatively) deep on everything EPIC for the cover-month of September, 1985!

We hope you'll join us on the Quest!

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!
