The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 46 - X-Men #36 (1967)

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode Forty-Six

X-Men #36 (September, 1967)
"Mekano Lives!"
Writer - Roy Thomas
Pencils - Ross Andru
Inks - George Bell
Letters - Sam Rosen
Colors - ?
Edits - Stan Lee
Cover Price: 12¢

Today our Merry Mutants are truly down on their luck... not only is the X-Mansion nearly robbed, but the kids realize that, without Professor X -- they're dirt poor!  So, what is a hero to do?  Why, head down to the Welfare Office in your Rolls Royce to beg for some cash!  And no, I'm not joking...

The X-Men also look for some blue-collar work, and take part in the most touching Father and Son reunion this side of that episode of Saved by the Bell when Zack's dad wouldn't take him fishing.

All that, plus our usual back-matter nonsense... including a Letterhack or two trying to get one over on Stan the Man!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 45 - X-Men #35 (1967)

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode Forty-Five

X-Men #35 (August, 1967)
"Along Came a Spider..."
Writer - Roy Thomas

So, Banshee's attacked by a spider right around the same time Peter Parker heads up to Salem Center... what could possibly go wrong?

That's right, folks - it's the first battle between Spider-Man and the X-Men... and it goes pretty much as you'd expect.  At least it's Factor Three-adjacent... looks like we're not too far off from finally kicking that arc off in earnest!

Plus: Mail-Box, Bullpens, Beat Poetry and more!

Who's ready for a lecture?

You know I am, dear listener!  Yes, it's time for another in and endless string of installments of X-Men Green.  A story that might actually enlighten some folks if it took its head out of its backside long enough to try and engage in some non-strawman material!

Plus.. your humble host vamps for a long while about my migration from Blogger to Wordpress, just so I could put off covering the story!  Please listen anyway!

***The Weekly X-Men Green Disclaimer***

I didn't like this one... if that somehow offends you personally... please consider skipping this episode!  Back to fun stuff tomorrow, I promise!

... to the Choir, Episode Two

Art - Steve Dillon
Colors - Matt Hollingsworth

Cover Art - Glenn Fabry

Cover Price: $2.50

Happy Halloween, everybody and welcome back to ...to the Choir!

This time out, Dave and Chris get into all the gestalty goodness of Preacher #2.  We see the "softer" side of Sheriff Root, meet his soon-to-be comics famous son, and bear witness to the grandest reveal in comics history... wherein we find out that a member of our cast might just be a vampire!

All, that plus our usual nonsense - a look into USENET postings of the day, Garth Ennis's sorta-kinda petulant missive from Preacher #1's "Gone to Texas" column, listener mail, shout-outs, and much much more!
