Welcome to the fold, Cable!  Hope you enjoy your (relatively short) stay!

Our eleventh Collected Edition sees Kid Cable best Wolverine in battle before getting swept away to deal with some, of all things, Spaceknight stuff.  Excalibur is... back in Otherworld (duh), The New Mutants deal with boring Nova Roma stuff, X-Men focuses on Vulcan... and banging Brood in what might be the worst story to come out of this volume, X-Force heads into Terra Verde, and Marauders sees Pyro infected by a tiny little fellow.

All that, plus the usual backmatter nonsense you know and tolerate!  Lotsa Crucible fall-out chatter!  You're gonna love it (I hope)!

Finally... we get to talk about the event that we had mostly spoiled for us months ago!  It's no longer the worst kept secret in the X-Books... it's out in the open!

So, for the few of you asking what it IS that I'm talking about -- Well, you'll have to listen (or, ya know, read the issue AND listen) to find out.

We've got some X-Cellent X-Tended Mailbag today as well, introducing a new letter writer to boot!

Welcome back to X-Lapsed... I wish we could be meeting under better circumstances, but alas - it's Excalibur day!  

The Hellfire Gala rolls on, and Betsy Britain and the Gang engage in some ridiculous global politics, Rictor broods, and one of our team members is lucky enough to escape this book!

You WILL believe that a Coven of Witches can impact the global landscape... or not, but you'll see it either way.
