The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 21 - X-Men #14

Kicking off our three-part Sentinels Saga - with some FEAR AND HATE!
What can the X-Men do when noted anthropologist Bolivar Trask takes a page out of J. Jonah Jameson's book to assert that Mutants are a MENACE?  Well, their creepy, bald leader might decide to engage in a televised debate with him... which, might not go according to plan!
It's a fun story... and I hope you'll join me for it!
Also: The original Letters Pages, the OFFICIAL Marvel Bullpen Bulletins (featuring plenty - ie. too much - chatter on the Merry Marvel Marching Society), and the MIGHTY Marvel Checklist for cover-date November, 1965!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 20 - Fantastic Four Annual #3

Welcome friends, to a most blessed event - it's the Wedding of Sue Storm and Reed Richards, and we're all invited... along with many of the movers and shakers of the Marvel Universe in its relative infancy!  Without hyperbole, this might just be the most important Marvel comic of its time! 
The X-Men not only show up... but get a few good shots in as well!  It's the first time I'm reading this in decades, so it's basically new to me!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 18 - X-Men #12

What terror lurks outside of X-Mansion... and why in the world did Cerebro pick up on it?!
It's the first appearance of Professor X's stepbrother, the Juggernaut... and the first time we find out (to my knowledge) that the Xavier's first name is Charles!  It's a fun one... that, reading as an adult... almost makes me sympathize for the villain!
Plus: A pretty hilarious Silver-Age Letters Page, everything Marvel for (cover-date) July, 1965 - and a plea from your humble host for dissenting opinions to be shared on the show... rather than on review aggregates that can actually HURT the show!

Pryde of the X-Lapsed

Celebrating eleven months of X-Lapsed, with something a little different!  Today, I finally check something off my "X-Men Blind Spot" list... after thirty-odd years!  Looking at X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men for the first time ever!
It's a fun chat I had with myself... I hope you'll join in!

The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode 13 - Empyre: X-Men

A tale so tragic it took the entire HoXPoXDoX X-Book brain trust to put it together!
To say that your humble host is a bit grumpy reading the Empyre cash-in miniseries might just be underselling it.  This might be the downest you'll hear me (until we get to X-Corp, that is)!  Engage in some schadenfreude and listen to me trudge my way through this one!
*NOTE: Next Episode (14) of The Collected X-Lapsed will be an "audit", since between Amazon, Marvel(dot)com, Comixology, the Marvel Wikia, and the actual Dawn of X trades themselves... NOBODY can keep which issues appear in each volumes straight!  We'll do our best to straighten it out!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 017 - Avengers #16

The Old Order Changeth!
Taking a step off the beaten X-Path to follow Brotherhood of Evil Mutants Alum, Pietro and Wanda as they officially join the good guys as part of Cap's Kooky Quartet!
Checking in with the Avengers won't be a regular thing here on the show... but, if there are any especially important Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch stories you'd like to see on the show - please don't hesitate to let me know!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 16 - X-Men #11

The Essential X-Lapsed is back... and it's just about time to finally deep-six Magneto and his Brotherhood!  But, you might be asking - how could we possibly go about doing that?  Well, wouldja believe that we're going to get a "deus ex characta" to do it for us?!
Today we meet the Stranger, in a story that could only be called "The Triumph of Magneto!"?
Also: Some great mailbag content... both for the show, and from the actual Letters Page from X-Men #11!  Hope to see you there!
