Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode 15 - Dawn of X, Volume 12

The compilation features the episode which started the show's fixation on Madelyne Pryor and her nebulous resurrectability!  We also get our first glimpse of the island that would eventually host the Hellfire Gala!  Plus: The fourth volume of X-Factor launches... which, your humble host was initially NOT a fan of!  Listen to me complain... only to have to eat my words a few months later!  It's a super-seminal episode... in the cleanest way possible.

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 27 - X-Men #20

Welcome to the X-Men, Rascally Roy Thomas - we hope you survive the X-Perience!
This time out, we're reintroduced to the dread Lucifer... as well as the tandem of ersatz X-Men, Blob and Unus the Untouchable?!  We'll talk a fair bit (probably too much) about the concept of "Fan Turned Pro" as it pertained to eventually making comics less accessible, storywise, to the more casual reader - Was X-Men #20 the first domino to tip in that direction?!
Plus: Our regular smattering of Silver-Age backmatter... including a rather snippy Stan Lee venting his frustration on Brand Ecch Comics - which facilitates your humble host recalling times wherein Brand Ecch Comics Podcasts lifted some of his own material!  Also: The X-Lapsed Mailbag and the presentation of our first ever "Fake-Ass No-Prize"!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 26 - X-Men #19

It's Stan Lee's swansong as scripter... and the issue where he introduces the world to: The Mimic!  Now, you might be asking why the X-Men need their own version of the Super-Skrull... and, well, yeah... that's basically what he is, just in a gaudier costume!  I suppose we can just chalk it up to "It's the Silver Age" and move on.
Plus: All of the 1966 Marvel Backmatter you could possibly ever want... and probably some ya don't!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 25 - X-Men #18

It's yet another X-Lapsed Milestone Episode -- 25 episodes in, and we're nearing 1/3 of the way through the original run!  Today's episode features the (short-lived) return of Magneto... the promise that Iceman might just save the day!  I wonder if Professor X can ever stand back long enough to let anyone other than himself save the day?  Prob'ly not!
All'at plus the always entertaining Silver-Age Back-Matter we all know and love!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 24 - X-Men #17

Today we talk about the "Spectrum of Suspension of Disbelief" when we ask how in the world people haven't put together that Charles Xavier has an association with the X-Men!  The creep is constantly being seen in public with and for them!
Good thing his kneejerk move is a mindwipe, eh?  Also - We've got the return of a most dangerous mutant - doncha dare spoil the end of this episode with anybody - we'll be watching!
Plus: The always amusing Letters Page, the Bullpen Bulletins, MMMS updates... and even some great Mailbag content of our own!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 23 - X-Men #16

Wrapping up our first three-part X-Men story -- it's the Sentinel Saga, wherein, it should come as no surprise that - once again, Professor X steals the spotlight and wins the day!
Also: Stan Lee gets taken to task for his poor Latin usage in the Letters Page, the Bullpen Bulletins takes off - and the Merry Marvel Marching Society won't quit!  It's a fun time in the Silver Age, and I hope you'll join me for it!

Chris and Reggie's TOTAL PACKAGE - Age of Apocalypse

The celebration of Five Years of Chris and Reggie rolls on, with a compilation of the series we used to commemorate the one-hundredth episode of the Cosmic Treadmill.  In our Crisis on Infinite Earths style, we break down the entirety of Marvel's Age of Apocalypse event from 1995... providing bios for all of the creators involved... as well as every single character to make an appearance!  Things get especially crazy once we get to the X-Universe issues!
 
It's a long one indeed... but a project we were very proud of!  I hope you enjoy!

The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode 14 - Dawn of X, Volume 11

This is the compilation I've both been looking forward to AND dreading... ya see, this is our "audit" episode!
Since between Amazon, Marvel, Comixology, and the Marvel Wikia... NOBODY can keep straight which issues appear in each collection - we've been forced to dig a bit deeper, and figure out x-actly where we stood.  As such, this will be a bit of a shorter installment, as we've already covered two of the issues that were actually a part of this volume!  Those issues were Excalibur (vol.4) #10, and the second-half of Wolverine (vol.7) #1.  What remains is a pair of issues from both New Mutants (vol.4) and Hellions!  Approximately half of those issues will be quite fun to discuss!
