In Soviet Russia, trade wait for you!

Hey everybody, we're back fo(u)r another compilation episode... covering the third issues of the Dawn of X, Wave One launch titles - and it feels like, for some of these, the bloom is coming off the ol' rose.

Hordeculture?  The New Mutants Farm story?  Fallen Angels still being a thing?

The tonal shift here into attempts at comedy, a weird fill-in arc, and poetic waxing might be too severe for your humble host to take!

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!

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!
