X-Lapsed, Episode 232 - Way of X #4
Monday Aug 23, 2021
Monday Aug 23, 2021
In what might be the penultimate issue (but not penultimate chapter) of Way of X, we get the x-pected levels of amazingness from Spurrier and Quinn. Awesome character work, and further x-ploration of the Krakoan Laws.
I tell ya what... at the risk of sounding crass - Way of X is the kind of book I just wanna sit back and let have its WAY with me! If you're not reading this... you should be!
Also: Great Mailbag, This Week in X, and Shout-Outs!

Chris and Reggie's TOTAL PACKAGE - DC Comics 1980s PSAs!
Sunday Aug 22, 2021
Sunday Aug 22, 2021
Gather 'round gang, it's time to learn about being a responsible citizen!
Today's TOTAL PACKAGE revisits the times Reggie and I discussed the Public Service Announcement specials released by DC Comics during the first-half of the 1980s, chock full of Gestalty goodness - and in our own inimitable style!
In addition to the Cosmic Treadmill episodes, and in the interest of completionism, I have also included an episode of the old Chris is on Infinite Earths show, where I spend an hour blabbing about psychological addiction and how one of these comics actually realizes that it's a thing that exists!
I hope you enjoy!

The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode 16 - Dawn of X, Volume 13
Saturday Aug 21, 2021
Saturday Aug 21, 2021
That awkward volume where you're dealing with not one, but two mass-crossover events, and just trying to keep your head above water!
Today's compilation piece is part Empyre... and part X of Swords - I suppose we could (and should) blame the Covid-Hiatus on this, but still - it makes for a very odd reading x-perience. I couldn't imagine what trade-waiters thought when they picked this one off the shelf!
Also: I so hate to do this to y'all... but, the first two parts of Empyre: X-Men are a part of this collection as well -- so, they're ba-ack!

X-Lapsed, Episode 231 - Excalibur #22
Friday Aug 20, 2021
Friday Aug 20, 2021
Who missed Otherworld? Yeah, me neither... but, we gotta.
Today we're chatting up Merlyn and Wisdom... as the latter reassembles his team of S.T.R.I.K.E. psychics (let's hope this isn't a back-door pilot to launch a new book!) There's plenty of meat on this bone... so, let's talk about it.
Also: More X-Cellent Mailbag, another dip into the Voicemail Box, and Shout-Outs!

It's a most newsworthy day indeed! Today, not only are we launching the sixth volume of X-Men... we're also discussing the breaking news that we're abut to lose our Head of X, Jonathan Hickman! What will this mean to the X-Line? Are things going to "go back to normal" after the events of Inferno? Lotsa questions... not many answers - yet!
All 'at plus the Mailbag and More - hope you'll join us for this most opportune "jumping-on point"!

X-Lapsed, Episode 229 - X-Force #21
Wednesday Aug 18, 2021
Wednesday Aug 18, 2021
When is Man-Thing not Man-Thing? When he's Man-Slaughter!
Does this make him any less boring than regular ol' Ted Sallis? Well... yeah, kinda! Today we're going to be meeting Jackson Strode, Man-Slaughter - first introduced by our X-Force scribe in a semi-recent Weapon Plus one-shot (which I'll also give ya the quick n dirty on during this ep)! It's a goodie... I hope you'll join me for it!
Plus: Mailbag and some long-overdue Shout-Outs!

X-Lapsed, Episode 228 - Hellions #13
Tuesday Aug 17, 2021
Tuesday Aug 17, 2021
Whenever I'm feeling down about the direction of the X-Books... I'm so happy to be reminded that a book like Hellions exists (at least for now)! Today we're going to talk about the surprising "heart" of, not only this book.. but the team itself! Also: Something Amenthi this way comes!
Plus: An X-Cellent and X-Tended Mailbag Segment, as well as a "This Week in X" chat!

X-Lapsed, Episode 227 - Children of the Atom #5
Monday Aug 16, 2021
Monday Aug 16, 2021
The sorta-kinda long-awaited return of "original recipe" X-Lapsed!
We kick off the August episodes with a look at a surprise penultimate issue! Didn't realize this series was coming to an end... it's Children of the Atom, and in it - the secret is out! Was the destination worth the journey? Well, you be the judge of that!
Also: An(other) appeal for dissent, wherein I ask folks to reach out to me if they feel I'm "harshing" too much on certain books/creators... rather than anonymously leaving me harmful feedback on top podding aggregates!
And: An X-Tended Mailbag Feature
Finally: A flip thru everything X in Marvel Previews for September, 2021!
It's a long one... so, "I'm sorry" or "You're welcome"!

X-Lapsed
One man's attempt not to drive himself mad while he reinvests in Marvel's Mutants after a few years away!
Hope we survive the x-perience!
