Merry X-Lapsed - X-Men #98
Monday Dec 21, 2020
Monday Dec 21, 2020
Merry X-Lapsed, friends!
Today we're starting a Holiday-themed week, during which we're going to take a look as some seminal (and not-so seminal) X-Mas with the X-Men tales! We kick things off with Chris Claremont's first Christmas-themed issue, (not-yet Uncanny) X-Men #98 (April, 1976) - Our heroes are just trying to enjoy their Christmas Eve at Rockefeller Center... but, unfortunately for them - the Sentinels are Back... and, we're going to talk all about it!
Also: Wolverine reveals that his claws ain't no glove gimmick... and, that he shares shoe polish hair-care tips with Eddie Munster! Lots to chat about today - let's start the celebration!

Welcome back to the Sunday Special - we're officially at the halfway point of Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey... and while it continues its (perhaps too) slow burn - it also continues to keep me on the edge of my seat, x-cited to see how this all shakes out!
Our titular heroine is beginning to lose control over things in the Elsewhere... does she just need a stiff drink (or a stiff man?) - if that's left up to a certain Mr. Patch, I've got a pretty good idea!

From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 3e - Excalibur #45 & Air Apparent
Saturday Dec 19, 2020
Saturday Dec 19, 2020
Episode 3 of From Claremont to Claremont rolls on! Today, I'm joined by my pal Jesse Starcher (@stiznarkey & @sourcematcast) to discuss a pair of weird offerings from the Excalibur corner of our little X-Universe - Excalibur #45 continues from our Nightcrawler subplot, and the prestige-format Excalibur: Air Apparent is... well, your guess is as good as ours! It's weird, and it's fun to talk about - that much is for sure!
Once that's all out of the way, Jesse will share with us the "Soundtrack of His Life", and it's a wonderful conversation - that we hope you all enjoy! Please send us YOUR picks for your own "Soundtrack of Your Life", we'd love to hear them!
Also, let us know if you're enjoying these FCTC Episodes in "Segment Form" rather than in the 12-14 hour compiled form - and also, if you'd like to see the first two episodes broken up the same way for potentially "easier consumption"! Thank you!

X-Lapsed, Episode 88 - X-Men #10
Friday Dec 18, 2020
Friday Dec 18, 2020
Just when we thought it was safe to read another issue of X-Men -- Empyre rears its ugly (and horrendously dull) head!
Today, in what might be the shortest episode of this program yet, we focus on Vulcan... as he happens across a bunch of nothin' happenin' aliens, while talking a lot about the fire that burns inside him.
Also: Petra and Sway get drunk... because, it's not an issue of Dawn of X without somebody getting wasted -- unfortunately for me, your humble host doesn't drink. Maybe I ought to start...

X-Lapsed, Episode 87 - Cable #2
Thursday Dec 17, 2020
Thursday Dec 17, 2020
After an X-Tended absence, Cable (vol.4) is back - and boy, is this one fun issue! Today our titular character is titillated by a Cuckoo or five, before running in with some'a ROM's old running buddies. Also: We pop back over to the Otherwhere, where Old Man Cable shoots things in the face!
It's a great time, and a great issue - I hope you'll join us!

X-Lapsed, Episode 86 - X-Factor #1
Wednesday Dec 16, 2020
Wednesday Dec 16, 2020
Hello Friends - today we finally round out our Dawn of X Wave Two #1's - and your humble host totally forgets to rank them from best to worst... hopefully, I'll remember for next time!
Today we welcome X-Factor to the fold - and I begin this episode by recounting my life and times as a fan of the title... and just how important it was in my earliest days of X-Fandom! We will then discuss the book cover-to-cover... and, whattayaknow, talk about what I liked and didn't like about it! Sounds just like a comic review show, doesn't it?

X-Lapsed, Episode 85 - Empyre: X-Men #4
Tuesday Dec 15, 2020
Tuesday Dec 15, 2020
We finally reach the end of our Empyre-sploitation... the miniseries I thought would never end. Today's episode and issue sees Explodey Boy talking to himself... and several pages devoted to Doctor Strange calling the Scarlet Witch an idiot.
At least it's over...

X-Lapsed, Episode 84 - Empyre: X-Men #3
Monday Dec 14, 2020
Monday Dec 14, 2020
The Empyre-sploitation rolls on... and Jamie Madrox is a-okay with his dupes being eaten by zombies! Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about that. It's not ALL bad though... this issue might feature the best portrayal of Beast in many, many years! Sure, it's only like two-pages... but, it's something!
All that and some great and thought-provoking letters in our mailbag!
