Welcome to the compilations of perhaps the X-Lapsediest X-Lapsed "Sunday Special Series" yet!  When I walked away from the X-Books in 2015-2016, the Time-Displaced Original Five (get used to THAT phrase, by the way) were still looming large in the present day.  When I made my return... they were gone - and they seemed to have taken Old Man Cable with them!

What happened?  Where did they go?  How did they leave?  Were they the same O5... or not?!  Well, all of those questions were answered in this here event miniseries - eXtermination!  Join me for this trip down time-displaced lane, won't you... and let's finally send these kids back where they belong!

For X-Tra fun... maybe also grab a listen to The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 12 in the archives!

Cuz this is FILLER... FILLER night!

Yes folks, we're only four issues into the flagship... and we're already smacking headfirst into the filler wall, with a story featuring Marvel's Crown Prince of Filler Issues: NIGHTMARE!

So, guess what?  The X-Men are going to have to face their... nightmares!

Also, Ben Urich continues his expose on the Mutant Resurrection hoo-doo... in the fantastical Marvel Universe where heroes and villains die and return on a weekly basis!

Plus, perhaps the Secret Origin of... Captain Krakoa?!

Today the Chronicler chronicles... and Colossus crushes!  As we (hopefully) approach the end of the Mikhail Rasputin/Cerebro Sword mishigas, our story is finally picking up a bit of steam.  Boy, will your humble host be happy when these books hit their 25th issues so maybe we can start getting some fresh content!

It's time for another milestone episode... the two hundred seventy-fifth!  I almost feel like our cover-art today should have an Eagle Award logo on it!  Does anybody get that reference?  Ehh, probably not.

Anyway, today we get back to our never-ending Shadow King storyline... which, hey... is going to have to end at some point in the next couple of months.  In fairness, it kind of turns the corner here, and there's a true feeling of progression.

Plus - Mailbag, "Old Man" ranting, and much much more!

You ever hear a grown man gush?  If not, you've probably never listened to anyone talk about Hellions... because, damn this is one well-done book!

As we approach our conclusion we're taking a trip thru "shoe-drop city"... lotsa revelations, and food for thought dropped right in our waiting laps.  And, if you've listened to this program for a minute... you'll know that I'll sometimes sink my teeth into a theory, and not let it go.  I might do that a couple of times throughout today's discussion!

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and much more!

Original Recipe X-Lapsed is back... and, it's Excalibur Day!  Shockingly, this time out it doesn't completely feel as though I've missed an issue -- though, some oddities do abound.  What we have here is a mostly enjoyable issue, where pieces are falling into place to (hopefully) take this volume into its satisfying conclusion.

Plus: Mailbag, the January 2022 Solicits (before everything fell apart), This Week in X, and much more!
