In which Fabian Nicieza repeatedly takes the brave stance that Nazis are bad... and inches his story a few moments further along -- and our back-up feature begins the retelling of Wolverine's Origin... as in, literally, the first issue of Origin, we've got us another lackluster Infinity Comics day!

Least we got the returning Mailbag to keep things light!

Revisiting the next of our Dawn of X opening arcs, with - what started out as the most consistently good book of the post-HoXPoX launch!  Call Me Kate takes center stage, and we're introduced to a very fun team of high-seas sailors... until our creative team forgot about like 80% of them!

For this first arc, though -- it's great stuff!

Is this the first time you've checked out X-Lapsed?  Are you an X-Lapsed-Lapsed listener who may've dropped off after having your pod-feeds slammed by my barrage of content?  Please let me know, I'd love to hear from you all!

Since 300+ episodes is quite the daunting task for any potential new listener... welcome to the X-Lapsed "Triple-Dip" -- the third time I'm sharing these episodes, however, rather than sorting them by where they'd appear in the Dawn of X Anthologies (as shown in The Collected X-Lapsed series of shows)... we're doing these by series!

If you missed out on the earliest issues of Jonathan Hickman's run on X-Men (vol.5), here's your chance to start playing catch-up with Chris!

If you missed out on House of X and Powers of X, the complete eight or so hour discussion of that storyline can be found in The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode One, available in the archives!

Is this your first time giving X-Lapsed a try?  Are you a listener who's become X-Lapsed-Lapsed?  I'd love to hear from you - please consider dropping me a line to let me know what you think!

Wrapping up the second volume of S.W.O.R.D. with an honest-to-goodness "shoe drop"!  Secrets are revealed... which retroactively make much of this series' crossovent interruptions make a lot of sense!

This is a goodie... and, even though this volume's over and done with, we still need to concern ourselves with "What Comes Next"!

While all eyes are on Inferno, the X-Filler train rolls on!

X-Force closes out it's "season" (it will return in April, 2022) with more Surf-Baddies, and... well... not a whole lot more!

Wolverine does his own version of "jumping the shark", so that's something!  At least this one was kinda fun to chat about.  I hope it's just as fun to listen!

We're back to the "grind" - and we're talking that one issue of Phoenix Song: Echo we X-Lapsed folk were all quite excited for!  I mean, just look at all that Krakoan Goodness on the cover!

Well... about that?  Ehh, we'll talk about it.  In any event, I'm having a pretty okay time with this one... despite the lack of X-Stuff.

In addition to chatting up this ish, we're also going to deep-dive on All Thing X in Marvel Free Previews for March, 2022!  I tried to keep my snark in check... you tell me if I succeeded!
