Welcome to the book that, at first blush, I thought might be the actual low-key flagship of the Dawn of X line! Which is to say, we've got something of a team here... and stuff actually happens! Also, the Resurrection Protocols are TRULY put to the test in this one!

A world of fantasy and magic awaits... whether we want it or not.

We're about to deep-dive on a book where it's ALL Otherworld, just about ALL the time. Maybe it'll make more sense in this Triple-Dip "collected" format? You'll have to let me know!

So, get ready to join Betsy Britain, Ayyyyy, and the whole cast of Excalibur as they... do magic stuff, and muck around with weird royalty.

In the "Season Finale" of Wolverine, our titular hero has himself an inventory story!

But... it's not one'a them Hama-esque Wolverine inventory stories... instead, it's actually paying off a relatively recent story thread outta the pages of X-Force! Logan faces off with a semi-Lovecraftian Horror... and talks to himself. I'm probably making it sound really awful, but I assure you - this is a goodie!

And the art! You definitely wanna see this art... which, as an audio product, I cannot help you with - but, please listen anyway!

All that plus the Mailbag and Shout-Outs!

Ding-Dong, this book is done!

Too bad the story's not.

Which is to say... this might just be an episode where I veer a tad bit into the negative -- and so, if that is something which threatens to offend you personally, I humbly invite you to skip this one! It's all good, we're all still pals!

If you DO decide to listen, you'll get my thoughts on the unsatisfying and muddled non-wrap up of Excalibur - as well as an X-Tended and very fun Mailbag segment!

Any thoughts on this book? This issue/the title overall? I'd love to hear and share 'em... good, bad, and/or indifferent!
