X-Lapsed, Episode 61 - X-Force #8
Wednesday Nov 11, 2020
Wednesday Nov 11, 2020
Today's episode is all about an aspect of the Resurrection Protocols that your humble host hadn't yet considered - what would happen if a mutant decided to take their own life? We spend a lot of time (perhaps too much) discussing the ramifications of that concept. We also wrap up the story of Domino's doppelganger - and ramp up for a violent clash with the nebulous XENO organization.
All that, and some great listener mail - and an X-Lapsed "Call to Arms". If you're digging the show -- or at the very least, appreciate the time and effort that goes into making it every single day, please consider telling a friend that it's a thing that exists in the world! Thank you all.

X-Lapsed, Episode 60 - New Mutants #8
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
We're back with the New Mutants "B" team a/k/a the Amalgamated Young Mutants of Krakoa, LLC for this issue - and what's more, they're taking us all on a trip to Nova Roma. It's a weird one-and-done, that - in about 10 minutes - you might just forget you've even read! Let's hope the same can't be said for your listening experience!
Also: Sebastian Shaw does something pretty cool... so, at least there's that!

X-Lapsed, Episode 59 - Wolverine #1
Monday Nov 09, 2020
Monday Nov 09, 2020
Welcome friends, to Wave Two of the Dawn of X line (also the 400th Program uploaded to the Chris and Reggie Channel)!
Today we've got a Wolverine two-fer - two complete stories... well, two complete "part ones", to kick off the berzerker's seventh (oi) volume. One's got some Drug Cartel stuff... the other is all about vampires. Woof. Plenty of good conversation will be had, and there is some great listener mail to boot!

Major X-Lapsed, Episode 4 - Major X #4
Sunday Nov 08, 2020
Sunday Nov 08, 2020
It's issue four... and it's another fight-scene. I might actually have to listen to this episode myself, since I can barely remember what happened here.
Major X has somehow married some of the worst aspects of two generations of comic book storytelling - it is as shallow and vapid as many books of the early 1990's, while being decompressed to the gills like so many "current year" comics.

X-Lapsed, Episode 58 - New Mutants #7
Saturday Nov 07, 2020
Saturday Nov 07, 2020
We had our fun in space... but, now - let's get these kids home!
Today we wrap up the New Mutants "A" storyline, reuniting bird-person child with (death)bird-person aunt... and finally plant our Krakoan seed in Shi'ar Space! Also: A strange Dungeons and Dragons-style battle - complete with your humble host rolling virtual dice! A fun issue... though, depending on your mileage - perhaps a hair too "cute" in the Deadpooly sort of way. Lemme know your thoughts!
Speaking of letting me know your thoughts - I share a hot-take theory from a listener that might just change the way you look at these books! Again, lemme know!

X-Lapsed, Episode 57 - Marauders #8
Friday Nov 06, 2020
Friday Nov 06, 2020
To Me, My X-Lapsed!
Today we're going to discuss the necessary "next step" issue of Marauders, in which, much of our team finds out exactly what happened to Call Me Kate. It's an issue of reactions - which I myself will react to, and have a good time doing so. There's also some mutant on nameless, faceless mercenary goon violence... which never gets boring (citation needed).

X-Lapsed, Episode 56 - X-Men #6
Thursday Nov 05, 2020
Thursday Nov 05, 2020
Torn from the pages of HoXnPoX, comes a very special Mystique-focused issue of X-Men! Today we're going to find out some of the things that went on between the panels of the big Mother Mold Mission, when the X-Men raided the Orchis Satellite. We're also going to flash back to a story from... well, sometime before Uncanny X-Men #255, where Destiny has a very important message to share with her wife.
It's been awhile since I've engaged in "hot takes", but - an issue like this, really invites the semi-critical thinking... and makes my mind percolate trying to figure everything out. It's a goodie, and I hope you take the time to check it out!

X-Lapsed, Episode 55 - X-Force #7
Wednesday Nov 04, 2020
Wednesday Nov 04, 2020
Two great issues of X-Force in a row?! Could it possibly be?
Yes, folks - thanks to my goof-up, where we very nearly missed an issue of X-Force, we get two really fun, and thought-provoking issues of the title in a row! Today, we are going to discuss the potential collectivist nature of Krakoa, and how - for the needs of the many, the trauma of the few might be getting brushed under the rug. We question whether or not the individual mutant is valued as highly as the "collective" Krakoa... and what the ramifications of this might end up being.
It's fun food for thought - and I hope to hear what you all think!
