Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

Welcome, friends - to a giant-size installment of The Collected X-Lapsed!

It's time to kick off EcksofTens... and so, let's spend the next eight or so hours tracking down swords we're not going to use!  This episode includes the entire first-half of the... twenty-two part crossover event, plus as a special "bonus", I've included my look at the X-Men Free Comic Book Day 2020 special - so we can see the potential changes that were made to X of Swords during the Covid-hiatus... and also, you can hear me kvetch about what a waste FCBD truly is!

It'll be a good time... or, at the very least I'll help getcha through an entire day of work!

Friends, we have arrived at 1/4 of 1000 episodes of X-Lapsed... and what better way to celebrate than by kicking off one of our most anticipated series'?  This one's been a long time coming... and, we might eventually look back at is as the first domino being tipped over in wrapping up the Hickman Era!

Plus: Mailbag, Shout-Outs, Gushy Thank Yous, and the announcement of the X-Lapsed Patreon Launch (along with the entire first episode of the Patreon X-Clusive X-Lapsed Point One!)

Thank you all so much for being part of this silly journey of mine back into X-Relevance!

On the eve of #XLapsed250, we take a look at (hopefully?) the penultimate issue of X-Corp... and, fair warning from your humble host: I don't like this book.  If that's something you take issue with... maybe skip this one.  We can still be friends!

Plus: Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and More!

It's a most bittersweet day here at X-Lapsed... as we wrap up the Way of X volume (but thankfully, not its story!).

Here we tackle and deconstruct the Third Krakoan Law "Respect this Sacred Land", discuss the mundanity of Mutant Death, and chat up the Onslaughtian Revelations we are gifted with.  This is (was) a wonderful series... and I am going to miss it dearly.

Also - Mailbag and Shout-Outs, Oh My!

When the most consistently good book in the line feels like it's "phoning it in", it still makes for a decent issue.  Unfortunately, I've come to x-pect so much more from this book.

This is the tale of two stories... and, feels more like an issue of (original recipe) X-Men Unlimited than an issue of Marauders!

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and news about the rumored futures of several of our X-Ongoings come 2022!

Wrapping up our two-part Man-Slaughter storyline... basically because they seemingly ran out of pages to devote to it!  Does the XENO story move forward any?  Of course not, don't be redeekolous!

Plus: Mailbag, Shout-Outs, The Week in X, and a brief news bit about the upcoming Sabretooth series!

Our weekly look at the weekly X-Book continues... and so does our opening Wolverine vs. AIM vs. MODOK... in spaaaaaaaaaace story!

We're going to spend most of this episode talking about how this story is predicated on scrolling for great swaths of time... and, while that isn't a bad thing, it kinda hampers the ability to ever comfortably translate this into a physical product.

Also: The adorable second chapter of... It's Jeff!  What happens when our tiny Land Shark finds his way into a washing machine?  Will Punky Brewster get there in time to save him?  Wait, that was a fridge... nevermind.

With the Dawn of X behind us, and X of Swords on the horizon - I thought it would be nice to take a breather from the heavy-duty Krakoa stuff, and check in on what Professor X's sometimes evil brother is up to (especially since nobody's willing to let the poor guy just live on the island!).

We'll meet D-Cel, who is totally not a mutant... and find out how Cain Marko regained the power of the Juggernaut.

A fun series... here's hoping for a follow-up!

Note: The "Mailbag" segments of the latter episodes of this series might have some X of Swords spoilers!

Today we wrap up the story of the COTA kids... for now!  What will they do with an actual honest-to-goodness Mutant in their midst?  Will they fanboy and fangirl out... or wallow in jealousy that it isn't THEM who's got dem special genes?

Also - We thought we'd gotten away from it, but... much like DC Comics' Manhunters: Nobody escapes the Hellfire Gala!  Yes... we're back at the Gala.

Plus - An X-Tra Size Mailbag, Shout-Outs, Marvel Previews for November, 2021 - and more!

It's the milestone 25th issue of X-Men!  Wow, remember when volumes of X-Men actually hit twenty-five issues?!  Seems like a lifetime ago, dunnit?

So, how will our Silver-Age Sensations celebrate the occasion?  Well, if you were to guess that they're going to fight another awful bad guy, then you win the world's worst No-Prize yet!  It's time to tangle with the dread El Tigre (no relation to Jean Grey).

All'at plus Letters, Bullpens, Merry Marvel Marching, Marvel Heroes on TV, Mailbag, Shout-Outs... oh my!
