Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

X-Lapsed is back after our Holiday (and DCBS-not-shipping-me-the-books) break... and, we're kicking off our #Roadto300 with... X-Men Unlimited!  Today's chapter features a heart-to-heart... or, maybe fist-to-head conversation between our two feature characters... and liberal (ab)use of the finger-flickin' gimmick of the Infinity Comics format.
Also: In lieu of a mascot-backup, we're taking a look at the X-Centric Wolverine Holiday Special... which, sadly is a product more interested in making "lol, references" than actually telling a story.  Oh well...

Compiling four classic episodes of Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill, wherein we discussed and gave the full "Treadmill-Treatment" to the first issues from the "Big Four" Image Comics launch titles from 1992 - Rob Liefeld's Youngblood, Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.S: Covert Action Teams, Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon, and Todd McFarlane's Spawn!
As a special "Bonus", I'm also including our "Real Comics History" Episode, during which we talked about the comics fandom (our own as well as widespread) during the year Image Comics started hitting the shelves: 1992!
This was originally intended to be an ongoing Cosmic Treadmill project... with "Wave Two... and beyond" to include titles like Cyberforce, Wetworks, Shadowhawk, Pitt, The Maxx... and more!  Whether this is your first time listening to these... or, just a blast-from-the-past - I hope you all enjoy!

Merry X-Lapsed 2021 wraps up the same way 2020 ended... with Generation X!
And, just like 2020, the Generation X Holiday Issue we're discussing... really doesn't have much to do with the holidays themselves!  Instead, the ladies of the crew head to Monet's family home in Monaco, to play a game of "Skeletons in the Closet" -- sharing tales of how and when their mutant powers manifested.  It's a bunch of largely-retconned... or contradicted stories, that almost make me want to launch a program called "The Unessential X-Lapsed"!
Also - I wax on for quite awhile about what the Holiday Season means to me... well, the "eves" of the holidays anyway.  I'd love to hear your stories as well!
I hope everyone has a warm and wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season.  Thank you all for being a part of mine!

Let's celebrate Christmas with X-Factor and those *other* New Mutants...
The watchword for today's installment of Merry X-Lapsed is... exposition, so do your humble host a favor and do NOT take a sip of spiked eggnog every time I say it!  The Simonsons work their hearts out to keep any X-Factor looky-loos who may've just popped their heads in to keep up with The Fall of the Mutants... and, well... it doesn't make for the easiest read... or, synopsis-writing experience!

The Mutant Who Stole Christmas!
Merry X-Lapsed takes a step... err, giant-size leap off the beaten path today, to check in with a one-off Mutant knock-off of The Grinch, who crossed paths with the Eric Masterson Thor this one Christmas Eve!
What will we have to say about one of Thor's Lamest (in Marvel's own words) Enemies of all time?  Well, you'll have to tune in to find out... and I don't think you'll be sorry if you do!  This is a fun one!

Welcome back to Merry X-Lapsed, where we're going to pop in on the criminally (?) short Kelly/Seagle era to dig into a Christmas Carol riff with a Russian twist!  Colossus is back in the mansion after a time away... and is being haunted by both stilted dialogue, and a Ghost of XMas Past!
Who could it possibly be?  Oh, yew know...
We'll talk a little bit about this era of X-Books (without context) and discuss the power of Guilt as story motivation!  It's tons of fun for everyone... I hope you'll join me!

Kicking off Year Two of "Merry X-Lapsed" by checking in with the Outback Era!  Longshot is haunted by inanimate objects via his psychometric powers, which force our heroes to play Santa Claus, on... of all nights, Christmas Eve!
Also: Dazzler wishes she was dead, and Havok dresses like a janitor!
It's a fun, heartwarming... if perhaps a little too syrupy sweet, story -- but one that's definitely worth your time!
