- Merry X-Lapsed - Generation X #24
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!

30 min - Merry X-Lapsed - X-Factor #27
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!

24 min - Merry X-Lapsed - Thor #444
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!

25 min - Merry X-Lapsed - Uncanny X-Men #365
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!

31 min - Merry X-Lapsed - Uncanny X-Men #230
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!

2 hr 56 min - Chris and Reggie‘s TOTAL PACKAGE - MiraclemanFor the first time ever, Chris and Reggie's three-part Marvelman/Miracleman Weird Comics History deep-dive (originally featured in episodes 27-29 of that series), compiled in one over-stuffed episode!Part One:You ever have a Dream of Flying? Join Chris and Reggie as they dive deep into the world of Marvelman. From his humble beginnings as a British replacement for a certain Big Red Cheese, to the stories people actually care about (ie. those written by Alan Moore, err... we mean "The Original Writer".We will be sharing this crazy story over the next three installments. This time around you will be introduced to the reasons behind Marvelman's creation, we'll introduce you to his creator Mick Anglo... and discuss the move from Silver Age silliness to cynical 80's grittiness (including a purposely brief synopsis of the WARRIOR Magazine run... because we really don't want to "spoil" that for our dear listeners).It's a fun-filled hour of chatter... and we don't even get to the lawsuit yet! The... other lawsuit... the other, other lawsuit.Part Two:There comes a time when everybody has to leave home... and that's no different for our new friend Marvelman, who, during this episode makes the trek across the Atlantic, and starts getting published stateside by Eclipse Comics. Not before a little tweak in his title though.For their middle installment of Exploring the Mysteries of MarveREDACTED... let's try that again. Exploring the Mysteries of MarREDACTED. Hmm... okay, we'll do it their way... For this installment of Exploring the Mysteries of Miracleman, Chris and Reggie discuss more growing pains than a house full of Seavers when they continue their long-form look at our Kimota-shouting hero. This week they will set the stage for the domestic (if you live in the United States) arrival (and sorta-kinda revival) of Miracleman... and briefly discuss the remaining Alan Moore run as well as the still unfinished Neil Gaiman run.Then... they start getting into the nitty-gritty, and really the "meat and potatoes" of any real Miracleman discussion... the rights! Welcome to the story, Mr. McFarlane... hope you survive the experience!Part Three:Order in the court! (Ham and Cheese)For the final installment of "Exploring the Mysteries of Miracleman", your favorite legal eagles Chris and Reggie don their long robes and powdered wigs and do their darnedest to figure out just who owns Marvelman!They will discuss the wheelings and dealings of one Spawny fellow... and spend far too much time discussing the characters of Angela, Cogliostro, and Medieval Spawn... but they promise it all (mostly) fits the story.Overall, it's an hour and change of audio likely to make you even more curious and confused about Marvelman, and just how his story finally "shook out".

2 hr 55 min - The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 56 - X-Men #43
Back to the flagship... but still with Magneto! A wildly convenient little ditty today, which starts at Professor X's somber memorial... and ends up on the electrified floor of Island M. The hows and whys are part of (if not ALL of) the fun...
Also: A backup strip to shut up some of the more annoying... err, prolific... letterhacks, finally explaining how Cyclops' powers work!
Speaking of letterhacks, we'll be covering 7-8 of those, then hopping into the Bullpen Bulletins to talk about the 1968 Marvel Explosion, I kvetch s'more about variant covers... and much, much more!

33 min - The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 55 - Avengers #49
Wrapping up our three-issue stint with Earth's Mightiest to discuss the return of Magneto. Today, he continues attempting to convince Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch into putting the Brotherhood Band back together... with unexpected results. He also approaches the United Nations Security Council in hopes of... get this... establishing sovereign nation-hood for Mutants! Wow, where have we heard THAT before (or since)?
Plus, we wrap up our Roy's Recollections feature from Alter Ego #24 (2003), where our Boy gets rather snippy and also discusses the latter-half of his first go-round with the Muties!
I also kvetch for awhile about variant covers... fun times, indeed!

38 min - The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 54 - Avengers #48
Continuing our sidebar into Avengers, where we're following the grand return of Magneto! Today's episode answers the question "Is that a microphone down your pants, or are you just happy to see me?", and sees the All-New, All-Different Black Knight take flight! Also, the Avengers are verrrrrrry sloppy without the guidance and leadership of Captain America!
Plus: We discuss a portion of an essay written by Roy Thomas in 2003 wherein he reflected on his first go-round with Marvel's Merry Mutants.
