Chris and Reggie talk about old comic books and comic book history every week!
Features new podcasts such as Chris is on Infinite Earths, Morituri Mondays, X-Lapsed, From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast… as well as the archives for Chris and Reggie’s Cosmic Treadmill and Weird Comics History! Dive in today!
Today we usher in the double-digits era for our Wave One Dawn of X books... starting with Marauders! This is also a notable issue for being the first DoX book to hit the shelves after the current pandemic set in. Can it possibly live up to the x-pectations of the starving X-Fandom? Well... I suppose your mileage may vary.

Six issues just wasn't enough, was it? Anyone else up for another romp with the Major and M'Koy? Well... uh, howsabout we spend this final episode of Major X-Lapsed talking about a two-part Wolverine story from the year 2000 instead?
That's right folks - we're spending all but eight pages of this $5 zero issue looking at a story that appeared in Wolverine (vol.2) #154-155 (September-October, 2000) - featuring characters who haven't been seen since! As for those other eight pages... well, they might just cause an X-Istential crisis... we're going to meet a whole lotta bucketheads... who we'll probably (hopefully?) never see again.
Whatever the case - Major X-Lapsed is now complete... I want to humbly thank everybody who has hung on for this weird little seven-week sidebar!

Episode 3 of From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast rolls on -- and goes off the beaten path, with our first look at a comic (prestige format dealie, actually) that isn't one of our regular monthlies!
This time out, I am joined by Mark Radulich (@MarkRadulich) to discuss one of Wolverine's many, many... many guest appearances. It's a little ditty called Hearts of Darkness by Howard Mackie and John Romita, Jr.!
After going through the story cover-to-cover, we continue the FCTC Episode 3 "hook" where my co-host discusses the "Soundtrack of Their Life"! Another very fun conversation... I hope you all decide to join us - and maybe even share your own personal "soundtrack"!

In which your stumblin', fumblin', humble host hits his personal "tipping point" as it pertains to "X-Men in Space" stories. Sure, Cyclops and Havok's daddy lives out there... and the X-Men have a lotta friends and enemies out there - but, can we please get an issue without a reminder of that fact?!
Also: Happy Thanksgiving!

In which your stumblin', fumblin', humble host hits his personal "tipping point" as it pertains to mutant deaths. Sure, the Resurrection Protocols of the HoXPoXDoXSoX era have changed the "rules"... but, with this issue, it's almost turned to parody. We'll talk a lot about that today...
Also: More great listener mail!

Dawn of X, Wave Two rolls on with the introduction of a very bizarre book, indeed - it's Hellions!
What happens when you put Sassy Sinister in charge of a group of "inconvenient mutants"? Well, we're about to find out. This is a book that should NOT work - but, damned if it doesn't! We're gonna have fun with this one!
Also: A Giant-Size (and somewhat emotional) mailbag segment! Thank you all for helping to push the Chris and Reggie Channel over 100,000 downloads!

Today we're going Giant-Size to discuss an issue that claims to focus on Nightcrawler... and, while he IS in this story - the more accurate title for this might've been Giant-Size X-Men: Magik. We're going to talk about continuity and costs here... as our entire story is built to add a resident to Krakoa, who we already saw pass through the portal months ago!
Also: An actual Giant-Size Mailbag segment, talking about all things HoXPoXDoXSoX! It's a great time as always, I do hope you'll join us!

Today we wrap up the Major X miniseries proper... and, well - I wish I could say we've got a lot to talk about... but, we don't! We will see some Deadpool-on-Deadpool action... and our big-bad will get taken down by the Care Bear Stare. I will also rail on about inconsistencies in the depiction of our titular character.
Just one more episode to go... if we're bad enough dudes and dudettes to see our way through!

A little something different for your Saturday!
Your humble host has been long dragging his feet on releasing the next full (12+ hour long) episode of From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast - however, today I'm dropping the segment where Jody Yerdon (@regalfan) and I discuss the final issue of the Chris Claremont run - X-Men (vol.2) #3 (December, 1991).
In addition to covering the issue itself, we also include a bit of a "hook" in that Jody (along with the rest of the FCTC hosts) will share with us the "Soundtrack of Their Life" - It's a very fun conversation - and I hope you all enjoy, and maybe even share some of the songs that would be on your own playlists!
For the handful of folks who even remember that FCTC was even a "thing", I apologize for taking forever to start releasing these!
