Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

Welcome friends, to the milestone 225th Episode of X-Lapsed... or, maybe, considering the subject matter - we dump the [X] from the title, and just call it Lapsed Annihilation, Episode 0?!  Maybe then people will give it a listen?

Today, we're kicking off our look at the upcoming Last Annihilation story, which will run through Guardians of the Galaxy, S.W.O.R.D., and Cable: Reloaded - Ego the Living Planet has been covered with a candy shell... and is about to pop!  What horror lurks below the surface?  You're gonna have to listen to find out - or, ya know, read the issue... or look for spoilers.  Nah, you probably ought to just listen!

Also: Some great (and potentially) thought-provoking Mailbag content!

It's the penultimate issue of Cable... and we've got a mighty big return to discuss!  Who's that popping out of the GoldBall?  The answer (won't) surprise you... or, at least it shouldn't!  Another fun issue of this wickedly fun series, which I will miss very much!

Also: X-Cellent Mailbag, our first dip into the X-Lapsed Voicemail Box, and "This Week in X"!

The Celebration of Five Years of Chris and Reggie rolls on with a compilation of one the projects we were most proud of -- our coverage of Crisis on Infinite Earths!  This was a series several months in the making... and was comprised of hundreds of hours of research and writing.  This was an "around the clock" production... and the notes we took on Crisis actually filled more pages than Crisis itself!

It's a heck of series... and we had a blast getting to the bottom of it.  We bio EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER who appears (even if that appearance is in a single panel), we discuss the behind the scenes of Crisis-Era DC Comics, we cover every pre-Crisis appearance of the Monitor, we dissect EVERY SINGLE pre-Crisis alternate Earth (even those retroactively named via the Absolute Crisis Edition).  We also look at The History of the DC Universe, and chat up the fallout and the early post-Crisis landscape.  If you've got 12 hours to kill... this might be right up your alley!

Finally... it's time for Hellions!

The Collected X-Lapsed rolls on with the introduction of, perhaps THE surprise hit of this entire era... a team of B, C, and D list villains (plus Havok) engaging in therapeutic violence under the watchful eye of Mr. Sinister... what could possibly go wrong?

Also, Broo eats an egg, Wolverine fights flowers, and a Giant-Size issue supposedly featuring Nightcrawler!  All 'at and the usual X-Lapsed nonsense to boot!

*NOTE: Episode 14 of The Collected X-Lapsed will feature something of 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!

Welcome friends, to a day of Multiple Milestones!  Today we wrap up both the Hellfire Gala and the fourth volume of X-Factor... as well as celebrate TWO-THOUSAND days of Daily Comics Content at Chris is on Infinite Earths!

We bid a sad farewell to our Boneyard residents, mysteries are awkwardly solved, people are horribly dressed... and wrap up with the discovery of SPOILER ALERT's dead body!  Whodunnit... well, we're going to have to wait and see!

If we were using Marvels Legacy Numbering, this would be X-Lapsed LGY#275!

And to commemorate, we're discussing one of the best books in the line!  Today, as Nightcrawler recovers from a raging hangover, he (and we) get a lesson in how Making More Mutants might not be the best "way" forward for the nation of Krakoa.

Also, some psychic-sexytime facilitated by Legion, and an appearance from a character from the Joe Casey era... and no, I'm not talking about Warp Savant!  It's a great issue... and a really fun conversation I had with myself - I'd love to hear your thoughts as well!

S.W.O.R.D. takes us into some Hellfire Gala fallout... and, it's all pretty great!  To say any more would be to spoil it... and, since the events of this story WERE spoiled for your humble host, I will do you all the kindness of saying no more!

You don't wanna miss this one!

Plus: My usual Musings, Mailbag, and more Facebook Friends!

In what could've (and perhaps should've) been the next issue of X-Force, the Mutant CIA deals with the Telefloridian Menace... while also attempting to reconcile Beast's involvement in making them so!

This leads into your humble host having rather the odd conversation with himself, wherein I do my damnedest to come to the Beast's defense (sorta).  I'd love to hear your thoughts on current-year Hank McCoy - is there ANY saving this character?  Inquiring mind(s) wanna know!

Plus: Great Mailbag, and some super-fun discussion from some new Facebook friends!

It's X-Corp day... let's just push forward!

For those of you who can make it - there's some great listener mail, Planet-Size X-Men fallout and "This Week in X" to discuss!

Picking up right where we left off last time - Cutter and Rayek are in the midst of THE CHALLENGE, and there two trials remain!  We'll discuss'em both right here!

Also: Our usual "back-matter", including the Quests & Answers Letters Page, the Bullpen Bulletins, and an extended look at the Ads... which feature some of our very favorite ones of the era: Saturday Morning Cartoons!

All that, plus some news on the ElfQuest AUDIO MOVIE and an update on the ElfQuest lead figurines we didn't even know were a thing a few episodes back!

Special Thanks to the ElfQuest Facebook Group!
