X-Lapsed Triple-Dip, Episode 8 - Marauders by Gerry Duggan, Volume 2

The Triple-Dip collection rolls on, with the sophomore outing for Duggan's Marauders.  This time out, we've got a dead Captain, some other "fake-out" deaths, and a whole lotta build-up for X of Swords.
All of my normal nonsense is there for ya as well -- mailbags, tangents, hot-takes, general cynicism... it's all right here waitin' fer ya!

X-Lapsed, Episode 324 - Death of Doctor Strange: X-Men/Black Knight #1

We're back off the beaten path, with a tie-in to the Death of Doctor Strange storyline... which, features our flagship team... but, is really more a backdoor pilot for a follow-up to 2021's Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Whateverthehell miniseries.
Our favorite mutants are here, yes... but, honestly, (up until a reveal in the very last panel) it could've very well been ANY Marvel heroes.
It's well-told and beautiful though - just not as X-Relevant as I was hoping!

X-Lapsed, Episode 323 - X Lives of Wolverine #2

Back in the XLADOW saddle, where our premise is beginning to make a bit more sense (at least to your denser-than-most humble host).  We follow our titular hero through various phases of his life... where he's granted both the opportunity to protect and save an Xavier... as well as perhaps right a few of his own past wrongs -- Chekhov's Butterfly Effect looms large here, gang!
Will this series wind up shaking the foundations of the Krakoan Era... or, just be a DC Comics Convergence-like nothin'?  I suppose we'll find out together!

X-Lapsed, Episode 322 - Sabretooth #1

Into the Pit... for a bat-spit insane and hyperviolent romp with Sabretooth!
Had a lot of fun with this issue... it's almost enough to make me pollyannishly optimistic for the Destiny of X era!  Without the "Head of X" handcuffs, we might just get some fun stories!

X-Lapsed, Episode 321 - X-Men #7

Celebrating eighteen months of X-Lapsed with the Secret Origin of Captain Krakoa!
This is still a story I'm having a hard time getting out of my own way on... but, if I squint and forget that this takes place in a shared and fantastical comic book universe... I can *almost* get it?

X-Lapsed, Episode 320 - Marauders Annual #1

Ahoy, Muties... let's put together a new Marauders team!
What's that in the distance?  It's awkward and wildly unnatural dialogue!
What's that even further in the distance?  Well... it's some very interesting ideas I hope to see fleshed out in the next volume!
We've got a bit to talk about...

X-Lapsed Triple-Dip, Episode 7 - X-Men by Jonathan Hickman, Volume 2

From Feast to Famine... and back to Feast again!
The sophomore volume of Hickman's flagship is... uneven.  It starts off amazingly strong, with one of the seminal stories of this entire era, and the source for many of our podcast discussions... the introduction of the Crucible!
From there, he wastes a bunch of our time with the Brood, a "funny, ha-ha" with Broo eating an Egg, a Deadly Genesis continuity error that breaks one of the ONLY rules associated with the Resurrection Protocols... then Empyre cash-ins!  At least ONE of those Empyre cash-ins was fun to read!
This is an interesting assortment... I've often wondered how folks who ONLY read the flagship were "receiving" this new era -- here's a chance to find out!

The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode 31 - Reign of X, Volume 9

A collection of episodes that... I can barely even remember performing!
We've got a lotta "versus" stuff this time out... Wolverine vs. Dracula, Karma vs. Dani Moonstar, and... if ya can believe it - Psylocke vs. Kwannon?!
