Welcome to the first episode of X-Lapsed Point One - wherein we take a look at some Mutant-centric (retroactively or otherwise) stories that don't quite fit the "Mission Statements" of the other X-Lapsed programs.
We're starting things off... all the way back at the beginning, as we meet Marvel's First Mutant, Namor the Sub-Mariner by Bill Everett! In this story, we'll get some of the origin of his people, his kingdom... and their war with the White Race!

It's a most bittersweet day here at X-Lapsed... as we wrap up the Way of X volume (but thankfully, not its story!).

Here we tackle and deconstruct the Third Krakoan Law "Respect this Sacred Land", discuss the mundanity of Mutant Death, and chat up the Onslaughtian Revelations we are gifted with.  This is (was) a wonderful series... and I am going to miss it dearly.

Also - Mailbag and Shout-Outs, Oh My!

When the most consistently good book in the line feels like it's "phoning it in", it still makes for a decent issue.  Unfortunately, I've come to x-pect so much more from this book.

This is the tale of two stories... and, feels more like an issue of (original recipe) X-Men Unlimited than an issue of Marauders!

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and news about the rumored futures of several of our X-Ongoings come 2022!

Wrapping up our two-part Man-Slaughter storyline... basically because they seemingly ran out of pages to devote to it!  Does the XENO story move forward any?  Of course not, don't be redeekolous!

Plus: Mailbag, Shout-Outs, The Week in X, and a brief news bit about the upcoming Sabretooth series!

X-Lapsed, Episode 245 - X-Men Unlimited #2 (2021)

X-Lapsed, Episode Two Hundred Forty-Five

X-Men Unlimited (vol.3) #2 (September, 2021)
Writer - Jonathan Hickman

It's Jeff! #2 (September, 2021)
"Shark Cycle"
Writer - Kelly Thompson
Art - Guruhiru
Edits - Go, Wacker, Cebulski
Released - September 12, 2021

Our weekly look at the weekly X-Book continues... and so does our opening Wolverine vs. AIM vs. MODOK... in spaaaaaaaaaace story!

We're going to spend most of this episode talking about how this story is predicated on scrolling for great swaths of time... and, while that isn't a bad thing, it kinda hampers the ability to ever comfortably translate this into a physical product.

Also: The adorable second chapter of... It's Jeff!  What happens when our tiny Land Shark finds his way into a washing machine?  Will Punky Brewster get there in time to save him?  Wait, that was a fridge... nevermind.

With the Dawn of X behind us, and X of Swords on the horizon - I thought it would be nice to take a breather from the heavy-duty Krakoa stuff, and check in on what Professor X's sometimes evil brother is up to (especially since nobody's willing to let the poor guy just live on the island!).

We'll meet D-Cel, who is totally not a mutant... and find out how Cain Marko regained the power of the Juggernaut.

A fun series... here's hoping for a follow-up!

Note: The "Mailbag" segments of the latter episodes of this series might have some X of Swords spoilers!
