Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

XLADOW (xladow) rolls on, and today's issue is like a collection of current-year variant covers!  You want an Omega Reddified Wolverine?  We got one!  Howsabout a Venomized one?  We got that too!  This batspit-insane event keeps trudging forward... but, seems to be stubbing its toe on tropes with every step.
And just you wait for the cliffhanger!

We're back over in the Moira-half of our event miniseries's's's... and this time, her heel-turn is in full swing!  Back in the long ago we'd refer to this as a "shoe drop" issue - In that Mighty Marvel Fashion: some'a the stuff we thought we knew... might not exactly be right... sorta.
Plus: I talk s'more about how the original vision for Krakoa seems to have changed over the past couple of years.  Yes... still.

Straight outta the... "oh yeah, that's a thing we still need to talk about" pile -- the X-Men tie-in to the Devil's Reign event rolls on!  As we've become accustomed, Emma Frost is our focal character... and, as usual, she's being ever the altruist -- still doing bad things, but with only the purest of intentions.  So, yeah - it's basically every Emma Frost story!
In the mailbag we talk more about Thunderbird as the X-Men's Barry Allen, and what it means to lose the Crucible.  It's a fun time as always!

We're back to the "flagship"... which, is unfortunately a book seemingly stuck between two eras.  Not quite Reign of... but also not yet full-blown Destiny of.
It's widescreen mutant action... in that Morrison JLA style, which is to say... not my favorite approach.  Snark and quips take the place of characterization... and, oh yeah -- M.O.D.O.K. shouts "For Science!" - that's a punchline, y'all.  Laugh!
In the mailbag we discuss the shifting in what it means to be a Mutant in the post-Hickman landscape -- plus, a little bit more on the "seams showing" in XLADOW.
Then, I get a bit self-indulgent -- talking about the future of this (and other) shows on the channel... which, heck - if you made it that far, don't feel bad about clicking "stop".

With the Secret X-Men "roadblock" out of our way -- business might just be about to start pickin' up again!  Today we cross the halfway point of our XLADOW crossovent coverage -- and, while your humble host is still having a great time with it, even he's gotta admit that the seams are beginning to show.
Hopefully these concerns are addressed before we get out the other end of this one!  In any event, these are some fun comics!
Plus: Another toe-dip into the Mailbag -- hopefully business'll start pickin' up there as well!

Running headfirst (repeatedly) into a "roadblock" episode -- covering a book I wasn't exactly looking forward to having to talk about.  Gonna have to pull out the ol' X-Men Green disclaimer: I did not like this issue -- if that in any way offends you or threatens to ruin your day, feel free to skip!
Plus: Yer humble host does some A/X/E prep, by introducing himself to the current volume of Eternals!  I talk Eternals (vol.5) #1 cover-to-cover right here!

Come for the clumsy pop-psychology, stay for the inattention to detail!
This issue of New Mutants unfortunately falls between two eras -- we're thru with the Reign of X... but not quite into Destiny of X.  As such, it's got pages to fill... decks to clear... and foundations to begin laying.
That said, this entire x-ercise feels a lot more forced and unsubtle than it perhaps ought to be.  Then again, maybe these are just some of those pesky "Chris Problems" gettin' in the way of my enjoying a book?  You be the judge!
Plus: Another toe-dip into the Mailbag!

X-Lapsed, back again!
Today, after a heartfelt "thank you" to all of the wonderful, supportive friends and listeners out there, we check back in on the crossovent of the season - XLADOW!
It's not a perfect little ditty, but is quite fun... and has comicbooky charm for days.
Plus: The return of the (abbreviated) Mailbag!
Thanks again for stickin' with me, gang!
