X-Lapsed Point One, Episode 004 - Marvel Mystery Comics #4 (1940)

X-Lapsed Point One, Episode Four

Marvel Mystery Comics #4 (February, 1940)
"Sub-Mariner Goes to War!"
By Bill Everett
Edits - Joe Simon
Cover Price: 10¢

Since Namor cannot say no to a pretty face, he decides to throw in full-time with the Allied Powers. He is also promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Not-yet-lantean military... so, there's that too!
This is the first time we see our hero use his underwater telepathy too... I'm sorry, there just isn't all that much to say about this one! It's still fun though!

Our Golden Age adventures continue in a sorta-kinda brand new title! Marvel MYSTERY Comics.
Today our Not-yet-lantean anti-hero makes landfall... and also falls for a pretty face! He *literally* gives this pretty young thing the hotpants... and uses his own bodily fluids to put her out! You just can't make this stuff up!

Welcome to the first episode of X-Lapsed Point One - wherein we take a look at some Mutant-centric (retroactively or otherwise) stories that don't quite fit the "Mission Statements" of the other X-Lapsed programs.
We're starting things off... all the way back at the beginning, as we meet Marvel's First Mutant, Namor the Sub-Mariner by Bill Everett! In this story, we'll get some of the origin of his people, his kingdom... and their war with the White Race!

It's a most bittersweet day here at X-Lapsed... as we wrap up the Way of X volume (but thankfully, not its story!).

Here we tackle and deconstruct the Third Krakoan Law "Respect this Sacred Land", discuss the mundanity of Mutant Death, and chat up the Onslaughtian Revelations we are gifted with.  This is (was) a wonderful series... and I am going to miss it dearly.

Also - Mailbag and Shout-Outs, Oh My!

X-Lapsed, Episode Two Hundred Forty-Seven

Marauders #23 (October, 2021)
"Time for Tempo"

Letters - VC's Cory Petit
Design - Tom Muller
Head of X - Hickman
Edits - Amaro, Bissa, White, Cebulski
Cover Price: $3.99

When the most consistently good book in the line feels like it's "phoning it in", it still makes for a decent issue.  Unfortunately, I've come to x-pect so much more from this book.

This is the tale of two stories... and, feels more like an issue of (original recipe) X-Men Unlimited than an issue of Marauders!

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and news about the rumored futures of several of our X-Ongoings come 2022!
