At the midway point of our vacation from Krakoa, we take a look at... perhaps that "Christmas with the X-Men" book that pops into most of our heads anytime we think about "Christmas with the X-Men" books -- even though, when it comes down to it - it ain't all that Christmassy!
Today we're going to get into the head of the newest X-Man, Kitty Pryde, as she tries to protect her home from the dreaded Wet Bandits... err, N'Garai Demon. We also meet Captain Aletys Forrester - listen along as I mispronounce THAT name a half-dozen ways, and probably never say it right even once!
We'll also discuss the ending of the Claremont/Byrne era, the not-so-subtle inspiration for this issue... and much more!

Our Holiday Week rolls on... and we haven't even left Rockefeller Center yet! Today's comic, Uncanny X-Men #341 (1997) clearly takes a few of its cues from X-Men #98... just with a bit more turn-of-the-century sorta flare.
We'll talk all about Cannonball's recent promotion - as well as a quick n' dirty catch-up on who in the hell Joseph is... was... whatever!

Merry X-Lapsed, friends!
Today we're starting a Holiday-themed week, during which we're going to take a look as some seminal (and not-so seminal) X-Mas with the X-Men tales! We kick things off with Chris Claremont's first Christmas-themed issue, (not-yet Uncanny) X-Men #98 (April, 1976) - Our heroes are just trying to enjoy their Christmas Eve at Rockefeller Center... but, unfortunately for them - the Sentinels are Back... and, we're going to talk all about it!
Also: Wolverine reveals that his claws ain't no glove gimmick... and, that he shares shoe polish hair-care tips with Eddie Munster! Lots to chat about today - let's start the celebration!

Welcome back to the Sunday Special - we're officially at the halfway point of Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey... and while it continues its (perhaps too) slow burn - it also continues to keep me on the edge of my seat, x-cited to see how this all shakes out!
Our titular heroine is beginning to lose control over things in the Elsewhere... does she just need a stiff drink (or a stiff man?) - if that's left up to a certain Mr. Patch, I've got a pretty good idea!

Episode 3 of From Claremont to Claremont rolls on! Today, I'm joined by my pal Jesse Starcher (@stiznarkey & @sourcematcast) to discuss a pair of weird offerings from the Excalibur corner of our little X-Universe - Excalibur #45 continues from our Nightcrawler subplot, and the prestige-format Excalibur: Air Apparent is... well, your guess is as good as ours! It's weird, and it's fun to talk about - that much is for sure!
Once that's all out of the way, Jesse will share with us the "Soundtrack of His Life", and it's a wonderful conversation - that we hope you all enjoy! Please send us YOUR picks for your own "Soundtrack of Your Life", we'd love to hear them!
Also, let us know if you're enjoying these FCTC Episodes in "Segment Form" rather than in the 12-14 hour compiled form - and also, if you'd like to see the first two episodes broken up the same way for potentially "easier consumption"! Thank you!

Just when we thought it was safe to read another issue of X-Men -- Empyre rears its ugly (and horrendously dull) head!
Today, in what might be the shortest episode of this program yet, we focus on Vulcan... as he happens across a bunch of nothin' happenin' aliens, while talking a lot about the fire that burns inside him.
Also: Petra and Sway get drunk... because, it's not an issue of Dawn of X without somebody getting wasted -- unfortunately for me, your humble host doesn't drink. Maybe I ought to start...

After an X-Tended absence, Cable (vol.4) is back - and boy, is this one fun issue! Today our titular character is titillated by a Cuckoo or five, before running in with some'a ROM's old running buddies. Also: We pop back over to the Otherwhere, where Old Man Cable shoots things in the face!
It's a great time, and a great issue - I hope you'll join us!

Hello Friends - today we finally round out our Dawn of X Wave Two #1's - and your humble host totally forgets to rank them from best to worst... hopefully, I'll remember for next time!
Today we welcome X-Factor to the fold - and I begin this episode by recounting my life and times as a fan of the title... and just how important it was in my earliest days of X-Fandom! We will then discuss the book cover-to-cover... and, whattayaknow, talk about what I liked and didn't like about it! Sounds just like a comic review show, doesn't it?

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!
