Wrapping up the latest Hellions arc to make sure we're done for the Hellfire Gala!

Oh, by the way... did you know there's something called the Hellfire Gala headed our way?  Betcha didn't... they hardly ever mention it!

Here, the Hellions fight their way from the Mindscape and we progress Sinister's story perhaps one step closer to the Chimeras!  All that, and I heap a creepy amount of praise on our Hellions creative team!

Plus: Great Mailbag (including a "day and date" missive), and a report on the "Week in X" both on Marvel Unlimited and on store shelves!

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode 3 - ElfQuest #3 (1985)

Questerdays, An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast - Episode Three

ElfQuest #3 (October, 1985)
"Raid at Sorrow's End"
By Wendy & Richard Pini
Colors - Glynis Oliver (uncredited)
EPIC Editors - Archie Goodwin & Jo Duffy
Chief & Consultant - Jim Shooter
Cover Price: $0.75 USD / $1.00 CAN

The Chris's are back... and on time (!), to deliver this third helping of Questerdays!

This time out, we pick up right where we left off with the Wolfriders' arrival at the little slice of paradise in the desert we'll soon find out is Sorrow's End.  We're going to meet some characters here that will loom large over the rest of this series... and be introduced to several very deep and interesting concepts - such as "Recognition" and "Soul Names"!  Definitely a seminal issue for the Questers!

Also: The rest of our usual nonsense... including a discussion of the worst Tom Hanks movie not to actually feature Tom Hanks, The Sisterhood of Steel, Fig Newtons, and Rip-Off shoes!  We even try calling the Rip-Off Hotline to find out more... did we get through?  Well, you'll just have to tune in and see... err, hear!

The X-Books are still on somewhat shaky ground here - they're all going their own way!

X-Force does a thing, X-Men sees the movers and shakers of Krakoa take their seat at the Global Table, Rictor begins studying under Ayyyy in Excalibur, New Mutants takes aim at some scarily safe targets while at the farm (did YOU know that Big Pharma was bad?  Betcha didn't!), Marauders pays off the Taipei story from the first ish... and Fallen Angels continues being a collection of sheets bound together by two staples!

We're finally here... the star-studded 200th Episode of X-Lapsed!  Today we're making good on a discussion that was supposed to happen way back in Episode 112 of this program... but, became delayed over and over again due to me family's never-ending moving woes!

Well, the moving woes are still ongoing... but, I figured this special GIANT-SIZE episode would make a really fun milestone episode, and so - over the course of the past several weeks, I have had the pleasure of sitting down with a great group of pals to discuss each and every entry in the X of Swords Handbook!

I assured them all that these segments would take up "10-15 minutes tops"... well, nearly eleven hours later... here we be!

I want to thank everybody who took part in not only this episode, but the entire #XLapsed journey to this point.  It really means the world to me, more than I can adequately put into words!

TIMESTAMPS!

On the eve of our landmark, star-studded TWO HUNDREDTH episode, we're taking a look at a recent Marvel Anthology... which, in the opinion of you humble, fumblin', stumblin' host... could have been much more than it was.

It's a "Just the X, ma'am" look at the Women of Marvel one-shot, with a little bonus chatter about an X-Relevant scene that appeared in 2020's Immortal She-Hulk one-shot!  Man, what a missed opportunity for a "Variant X-Lapsed Cover", eh?

Oh well...

On the Eve of the Hellfire Gala... we're going to talk about a potential "class system" at play on Krakoa.  We're also going to spend a fair amount of time in Otherworld... but, the less said about that, the better!

We're going to talk a lot about "conventional beauty" and the value placed on it.  It's going to be a good time, trust me!  Please... trust me!

Also: The Ever X-Cellent Mailbag!

All that, plus we go through the X-Related Solicits for July, 2021 straight out of Marvel Previews!
