The difficult "sophomore episode" of the Action Comics Daily Appendix opens with some Christorical information about what led to the shift to ACW over at Chris is on Infinite Earths, and some of the concerns and worries I had about that shift!

From there, we talk all about the second chapters of our original six features!  We witness a Green Lantern funeral, we nearly sacrifice Deadman, we blow up a bookstore and an airplane, and we almost see Janos Prohaska's li'l Blackhawk!

It's been a blast revisiting these, I hope you're enjoying them as well!  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

In our third compilation of the X-Ploits of the Silver Age X-Men, the Marvel Universe tour continues -- pitting our heroes against the Avengers for the first of a billion times!

Also, they have their sure-to-be final confrontation with Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants... EVER!  After which, the two fan-favorites from that crew have to decide where their allegiances lay -- will Wanda and Pietro make dozens of letterhacks happy by joining the X-Men... or, will they wind up somewhere altogether un-x-pected instead?!

Speaking of letterhacks - each of the X-Men segments in this collection feature a full-blown discussion of the Letters Pages, as well as the proto-Bullpen Bulletins!

Taking a half-step off the beaten path to deep dive on... a robbery!  That's right, gang - there's been a heist in the Marvel Universe, wherein editorial and marketing stole one of the more seminal beats in X-History and handed it over to the Avengers... cuz, lord knows they need it!

Today it's Phoenix Song: Echo - can Maya Lopez sidestep both Phoenix Corruption and Mansplaining long enough to do something worthwhile?  Let's find out together!

All'at plus a super-sized mailbag, featuring Inferno-chat, Jeff the Landshark talk, and the return of a good friend!

X-Lapsed, Episode 284 - Marauders #25 (2021)

X-Lapsed, Episode Two Hundred Eighty-Four

Marauders #25 (December, 2021)
"Night of the Comet"
Writer - Gerry Duggan
Art - Phil Noto
Letters - VC's Cory Petit
Design - Tom Muller
Head of X - Hickman
Edits - Amaro, Bissa, White, Cebulski
Cover Price: $3.99
On-Sale: October 27, 2021

It's the milestone twenty-fifth issue of Marauders - the first-ever 25th issue of the post-HoXPoX era!  It's also the penultimate issue of the book, but let's not dwell on that.

So, how do we commemorate this landmark triumph in comics numbering?  Do we get an enhanced cover?  Do we get a big story blowoff?  Do we drop a bunch of shoes?

Well.. no.  What we get is the second-part of the Eden Rixio filler story.  I guess we ARE too smart for those 90's milestone gimmicks... though, somehow we're still falling for the variant cover thing week after week.  Hmmph.

All this plus mailbag and more!

X-Lapsed, Episode 282 - X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #3 (2021)

 X-Lapsed 282 - X-Men: Trial of Magneto 3

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #3 (December, 2021)
"Schrodinger's Corpse"
Writer - Leah Williams
Art - Lucas Werneck & David Messina
Colors - Edgar Delgado
Letters - VC's Clayton Cowles
Design - Tom Muller
Head of X - Hickman

Cover Price: $3.99
On-Sale: November 20, 2021

It's "hump day" for the (bordering on false-advertising) Trial of Magneto... and you all know what that means - it's time for a pointless fight to take up two-thirds of the issue!

Yes, folks - while we wonder what's going on with Wanda... and whether or not Magneto will be held responsible, the X-Men and Avengers team-up to fight off... giant kaiju monsters?  Oh... okay.

In addition to the story, we will touch briefly on the concept of the Triple Goddess concept from Neopaganism -- which might just be where this story will be headed once we get ridda Godzilla and Pals.

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and news and hot-takes over whatever "Destiny of X" is going to be!

In my 30+ years of reading X-Men comics, I've certainly read some stinkers...

After X-Men Green, however, I feel I owe them all a sincere apology.  Today marks the end of what is, in my opinion, the worst X-Men story ever put to digital paper. 

Will Nature Girl and Curse have to answer for their crimes?  Of course not!

Will they actually learn anything?  Hell naw!

Will this story wrap up in a satisfying way?  You sh*ttin' me?

Also - the "season finale" of It's Jeff! where he steals something and looks adorable while doing so... which, is kinda how 80% of Jeff stories go...

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, Housekeeping, and This Week in X!
