Wrapping up volume 1 of the Marauders... with a season/series finale that establishes our status quo moving forward.  It's a bit piecey, and serves as a reminder of how uneven the back-half of this series has been!

It also ends on a cliffhanger... which everybody loves right before we leap into a brand-new #1, right?

Plus: An X-Tended Mailbag, This Week in X, and a look at what's headed our way from Marvel Previews (April, 2022)!

For the first time in two years... it's FALLEN ANGELS day here at the channel - and, if history is any indication, today's the episode even FEWER people will download and listen to!

Ah well... whattayagonnado?  Today we're compiling the story whose only value is that it accidentally (?) led to something pretty interesting in Hellions!  The art's interesting too... so there's that!

Anyhoo, it's three and a half hours of Fallen Angels... which is probably three hours and fifteen minutes longer than anyone else on the planet spent talking about it... possibly even combined!

Presenting, for the first time on the channel - the Head of X's New Mutants... without a sidebar trip to the Farm!

Join me for a shorter-than-usual "Triple Dip", where we cover the four-part New Mutants/Shi'ar/Starjammers tale... only four chapters... but, there's plenty of nonsense waiting for ya if'n ya decide to press play!

Welcome back to the flagship... aka the ONLY book in the entire Marvel Universe that's attempting to pay attention to the fact that superfolk die and come back to life with insane regularity... which, is also why this story doesn't quite stick the landing!

Join your humble frustrated host, as he attempts to get past that and enjoy the issue for what it is!

An episode emblematic of the "X-Lapsed Problem", as it pertains to over-analysis and repetition... and, if THAT doesn't entice you to listen, I don't know what would!

If you DO decide to listen, we'll be wrapping up the eleventy-hundred part Paradise Lost - with a clever gimmick and a slight cliffhanger that I kinda doubt will ever be paid off.  Life of Wolverine continues to be a 90 second read, which leads to about 45 minutes of independent research in order to fill in all the blanks we're left with!

Is there anyone getting anything out of this Quick 'n Dirty look at Wolverine's life?  If so, please lemme know!

The penultimate of Paradise Lost brushes with greatness when we almost get a very special exchange between Juggernaut and Professor X.  Also, Deadpool gets squished a whole bunch.

Meanwhile, Life of Wolverine meanders on... straddling the line between being an illustrated (and incomplete) Wikipedia entry, and an actual story.  It's trying to be both, but succeeding at neither!  We'll stick with it, however, and hope for the best!

A pair of very... *slight* stories for this Infinity Comics outing: Juggernaut and Deadpool finally make their way to Krakoa for the upcoming two-part finale... and our trek through the Life and Times of Wolverine takes us through Origin's I and II... without wasting a single beat!  "Quick 'n Dirty" might just be an overstatement!

All 'at plus the Mailbag!
