A sorta-kinda themed collection of Reign of X issues for this week's compilation piece!  The watchword is "reunions".  Today we're going to see the rematch between Storm and Callisto in the Crucible, Dani and Xian preparing for some Otherworldly stuff, Cable back on the trail of those missing babies we forgot all about, and (as our cover art suggests) Wolverine reacquainting with his old pal Maverick!

It's a fun show... wherein you can also join me in trying to make sense of the voodoo math Marvel employed to get Wolverine up to his 350th LGY issue!  All that, and 3+ hours of my regular nonsense, right here waitin' for ya!

Welcome friends, to the October Finale of X-Lapsed... X-Men Unlimited notwithstanding!

From famine, to feast... and back to famine again!

After a few episodes full of intrigue and import... we return to reality!  An issue of S.W.O.R.D. that, while not bad, reads kind of like a filler/inventory story.

We've got the story of Storm trying to prove to herself and those around her that Marsarakko has not broken her.

Burn it Down!

We've finally arrived at Inferno... and your humble host has NOT yet been spoiled!  This is one that takes me back to our earliest episodes... wherein I was making wild and outlandish theories, noticing all sorts of symbolism that may or may not exist, and didn't trust anything I was seeing!  In other words, I had a LOT of fun with this!

I hope to hear all of YOUR wild theories on this one too!  The crazier the better!

Today's episode is a very special one, as I'm joined by my great pal Walt (@waltkneeland) to discuss Way of X Number Si....err, X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation #1!  We'll share some of our experiences with the character, go deep on the issue itself, and discuss whether or not it was everything we hoped for when it was solicited!

Huge thanks to Walt for hangin' out!  If anyone listening wants to pop on as a special "tour guide" for a future show, please let me know!

It's the X-Men vs. The High Evolutionary!

And, well... that's about it!  We do get some more environmental shaming though, so look forward to that!

Plus: Mailbag, Shout-Outs, This Week in X... and over a half-hour of my very own (as requested) Idiot's Guide to Podcasting!  The TL;DL version is... don't do anything I do!
