Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill episodes

  • Chris and Reggie‘s TOTAL PACKAGE - The Death and Return of Superman
    Welcome, friends - to the collection of Cosmic Treadmill episodes wherein Reggie and I commemorated the 25th Anniversary of the landmark Doomsday storyline that shook the comics industry back in the Fall/Winter of 1992-93!  In these shows, we broke down what was going on in the world of Superman leading up to his final battle with Doomsday, the story itself... and all of the fallout in Funeral For A Friend and Reign of the Supermen.  If you weren't in the fandom (or perhaps even on the planet back then... you might enjoy hearing about what was going on in the biz and the world.  If you were, well - I hope this scratches a nostalgia itch!
     
    Then, as a special bonus, I've decided to include events even more tragic for Superman than death itself... J. Michael Straczynski's opus Grounded from 2010-2011.  Sending the post-Crisis Superman shuffling outta continuity (at least for awhile) with a... thud.

  • The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode 18 - Dawn of X, Volume 15

    With the Empyre-sploitation firmly in the rear-view, it's time to rush our stories to a halt... or at least to a semi-organic point where #EcksofTens can effectively put them on hold for a couple'a months.

    This compilation also includes the "milestone" One-Hundredth episode of X-Lapsed!  It's chock-full of my regular nonsense - couldn't have done it without you all.  Thanks you!

  • X-Lapsed, Episode 241 - Hellions #14

    It's Episode 2 in the #XLapsedCrownSaga... wherein your humble host is still stammering and struggling through some dental work!  Thankfully, we've got a wonderful book to chat about today in Hellions!

    The Sinister Story that's been building since HoXPoX is starting to take shape... and secrets are shared!  It's a goodie - you don't wanna miss this one!  As I always say... if you're not reading Hellions -- READ HELLIONS!

    Plus: An abbreviated Mailbag... due to lockjaw (again, not that Lockjaw)!

  • X-Lapsed, Episode 240 - Shang-Chi #3

    Through gritted teeth we head off the beaten path and take a look at a Wolverine guest-spot in Shang-Chi!  Now, the "gritted teeth" ain't an indictment on the quality of the story... it's due to some dental work I had done earlier in the day!  So, not even lockjaw (not that Lockjaw) will keep us from our (self)appointed task!  Apologies in advance if I sound rough(er than usual) today!

  • X-Lapsed, Episode 239 - Wolverine #14

    It's the first Anniversary of X-Lapsed... and somehow Wolverine has weaseled his way into yet another X-Lapsed Milestone!

    Today, friends... the comic is basically secondary, thankfully it's just Wolverine doing Wolverine things in Madripoor anyway, so, it's not like there's much to say anyway!

    The real "meat" of this episode is the discussion of the genesis of X-Lapsed, and a celebration of the community we've built together over the past year.

    Thank you all for helping me to get here... trust me when I say, I couldn't have done it without you!

  • X-Lapsed, Episode 238 - S.W.O.R.D. #7

    Or, [X]Lapsed Annihilation, Episode 003!

    Welcome friends, to the episode that marks one-year of daily podcasts here at the Chris and Reggie Channel!  That, and a couple'a bucks ought to get me a cuppa cheap coffee - but, hey - it's still something I can say I did!

    Today we're keeping with the Last Annihilation gimmick, and getting our S.W.O.R.D. cast on the board... and boy are they snarky.  Well, Abigail Brand is, anyway.

    All this, plus some great Mailbag, wherein we talk a bit about the S.W.O.R.D. title getting too tangled with crossovers, as well as some deep philosophical chatter regarding Nightcrawler's faith and depiction over in Way of X!

    It's a fun time as always... thank you all so much for allowing me to keep you company this past year!

  • X-Lapsed, Episode 237 - Guardians of the Galaxy #16

    Or, [X]Lapsed Annihilation, Episode 002 if you prefer!

    Today we're kicking off the actual Last Annihilation coverage with a look at Guardians #16.  There isn't much of a mutie presence here... but, they do get mentioned a bunch and we even get a scene on MarsArakko!  We're laying the foundation for what's to come before Abigail Brand and S.W.O.R.D. show up to deliver the sass and snark!

    Also: Mailbag, This Week in X, and Shout-Outs!

  • Chris and Reggie's TOTAL PACKAGE - The History of the Direct Market

    Today I am sharing a compilation of the last deep-dive Reggie and I did together, wherein we focused on another "tent-pole" series of Weird Comics History.  From the very start, we knew this was a topic we really wanted to sink our teeth into... and we were very fortunate to get that opportunity!

    We cover it all... from newsies shillin' papers, to the origins of the "organized" comics fandom, and how that fandom kicked off an aftermarket for comics, thereby creating the "back issue".  We'll meet Phil Seuling, for better or worse, the "Father" of the Direct Market.

    From there, we'll get into the nitty gritty of what it meant for comics to be "direct marketed" in comparison to "newsstanded"... how this affected retailers... and how, ultimately we wound up with a monopoly over the entire thing (well, at the time of these recordings, anyway...).

    It's a couple hours of fun chatter, from comics, to speculation, to aftermarkets, to seemingly phasing comics out altogether!  I promise, it's not as glum as it sounds!  Give'r a listen!

  • The Collected X-Lapsed, Episode 17 - Dawn of X, Volume 14

    Today's is a pretty interesting compilation... as, if you're a listener of the more recent episodes of X-Lapsed, you'll be familiar with my gushing over X-Factor... and lamenting its cancellation.  Well, wouldja believe that there was a point in time where I was actually HOPING it would be canned with the quickness?  It was with the second issue of the volume where I was officially "done" with this book.  Boy, how things change!

    Also, despite the fact that we're wrapping up the Empyre-sploitation miniseries here, we're also including the only Empyre chapter worth a damn in X-Men #11!  You WILL believe a man can drop a satellite on a veg-alien!

    All that, and my usual nonsense... all here waitin' for ya!

  • X-Lapsed, Episode 236 - Cable #12

    Today we wrap up the fourth volume of Cable!  When the dust settles... are we going to be left with Old Man Cable... or will Kid Cable remain?  Well, I'm sure it was spoiled for you at 12:01am the day it came out... but, please play along anyway!

    We'll talk all about the issue, as well as the second-half of this funner-than-it-had-any-right-to-be series!

    Also: Mailbag and Shout-Outs!
