For our second MasterworX compilation, we x-plore the X-Men's first crossovers... having them cross paths with the likes of the Fantastic Four and Iron Man... while Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has a run-in with The Mighty Thor!

We also advance the X-Men's own story... including an episode that has some sort of weird temporal anomaly... not sure if y'all can help me out with this, but - during X-Men #8, the pages get a bit fuzzy... and the art and writing style changes a bit for a blink of an eye.  Hmm... it's probably nothing important!

All that, plus the original letters pages, the proto-Bullpen Bulletins, and much more!

Hey, remember how Laura, Darwin, and Synch were sent into the Vault like a hundred years ago?  I'd almost forgotten myself!  That'll all get cleared up during this compilation episode... also, more King in Black in S.W.O.R.D., more lawless Madripoor in Marauders, and more Quentin Quire corpses in X-Force!

It's fun f'r the whole family!

Beyond rolls on with the (literal) fallout of last issue's cliffhanger!  Peter's in the hospital... and things might never be the same - ya know, until they are again!

Meanwhile, Ben Reilly has himself a severe case of the "Parker Guilt"... which he really needs help in getting over!

Another excellent issue of this brave new era for Spider-Man... and definitely a fun jaunt back into the webs for your humble host.

I hope you all enjoy - please let me know if'n ya do!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we're doing something a little bit special for the holiday weekend... kicking off a couple of installments of a potential new program here at the channel, very much (as the name might suggest) in the vein of X-Lapsed.

I haven't been a regular Spidey reader since the first few months after the Marvel NOW! era Superior Spider-Man... however, due to the "Beyond Board" being comprised of creators whose work I very much enjoy, I couldn't help but to be yanked back in!

Today's episode is kind of a long one, kicking off with a (relatively) quick 'n dirty look into my Life and Times as a Spider-Fan... then, I'll discuss the first issue of this brave new era - from the point of view of a truly "Web-Lapsed" reader!

I hope you enjoy... please make sure and let me know if you do!

Our Wolverine book begins revisiting some older plot threads, perhaps in order to tie them off before we enter into The Age of #XLADOW this winter.  If you've missed Jeff Bannisher, Maverick, and Dolores Whatsherface from the X-Desk as much as I have, you'll probably dig this ish!

In what we might've called a "shoe-drop issue"... had this series ever had the opportunity to find its own identity, rather than being background for various line-wide events - we find out who Henry Peter Gyrich of Orchis's MOLE inside S.W.O.R.D. is!  Be ready to be whelmed!

Also - we talk and postulate a bit about the upcoming shipping delays, and... well, not much more!

It's the penultimate insult!  X-Men Green, Part Seven of Eight... in which Duggan tries to continue to amp up the comedy - emphasis on "tries".  We've also got Jeff... and a great thought-provoking email about the X-Men Green endeavor overall!

Plus: This Week in X, and much more!
