X-Lapsed, Episode 273 - Excalibur #24 (2021)

X-Lapsed, Episode 273

Excalibur (vol.4) #24 (December, 2021)
“By the Pleasure of the Court”
Writer - Tini Howard
Art - Marcus To
Colors - Erick Arciniega
Letters - VC’s Ariana Maher
Design - Tom Muller
Head of X - Hickman
Edits - Bissa, Brunstad, White, Cebulski
Cover Price: $3.99
On-Sale: October 6, 2021

Original Recipe X-Lapsed is back... and, it's Excalibur Day!  Shockingly, this time out it doesn't completely feel as though I've missed an issue -- though, some oddities do abound.  What we have here is a mostly enjoyable issue, where pieces are falling into place to (hopefully) take this volume into its satisfying conclusion.

Plus: Mailbag, the January 2022 Solicits (before everything fell apart), This Week in X, and much more!

It's Unlimited day... and X-Men Green refuses to quit!

What's more, I fear it's become sentient... having realized that it might just be the worst X-Men story ever put to paper, it's now shifted from full-blown lecture mode into being an attempt at comedy!

... at least we've got It's Jeff!

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and more!

For the fifth of... however many weeks, it's more X-Men Green - and rather than waste all of your time kvetching over how much I don't like this story, this is a pretty basic recitation of the story beats... with little (relatively speaking) in the way of editorializing.  We've also got a great li'l It's Jeff! short, which actually ties in with our current year X-Stuff!

Plus - The return of the Mailbag, "real-time" feedback, shout-outs, and much more!

Who's ready for a lecture?

You know I am, dear listener!  Yes, it's time for another in and endless string of installments of X-Men Green.  A story that might actually enlighten some folks if it took its head out of its backside long enough to try and engage in some non-strawman material!

Plus.. your humble host vamps for a long while about my migration from Blogger to Wordpress, just so I could put off covering the story!  Please listen anyway!

***The Weekly X-Men Green Disclaimer***

I didn't like this one... if that somehow offends you personally... please consider skipping this episode!  Back to fun stuff tomorrow, I promise!

I think I owe X-Corp an apology!

For everyone who's ready to be lectured and condescended to by a story... boy, have I got one for ya!  For those who ain't... well, at least there's It's Jeff! and an amazing Mailbag segment!

X-Men Green rolls on... and, while it has its heart in the right place... is, in the opinion of this humble idiot... going about telling their story the x-act wrong way.

Hearts and Minds will likely NOT be won over with this one.

***Disclaimer: I didn't like this one... if that personally offends you, this might not be the show to listen to!

Welcome friends, to the October Finale of X-Lapsed... X-Men Unlimited notwithstanding!

From famine, to feast... and back to famine again!

After a few episodes full of intrigue and import... we return to reality!  An issue of S.W.O.R.D. that, while not bad, reads kind of like a filler/inventory story.

We've got the story of Storm trying to prove to herself and those around her that Marsarakko has not broken her.

Burn it Down!

We've finally arrived at Inferno... and your humble host has NOT yet been spoiled!  This is one that takes me back to our earliest episodes... wherein I was making wild and outlandish theories, noticing all sorts of symbolism that may or may not exist, and didn't trust anything I was seeing!  In other words, I had a LOT of fun with this!

I hope to hear all of YOUR wild theories on this one too!  The crazier the better!

Huge thanks to Walt for hangin' out!  If anyone listening wants to pop on as a special "tour guide" for a future show, please let me know!

Ding-Dong, this book is done!

But, let's not get ahead of ourselves... we still need to discuss this final issue!  There's not a whole heckuva lot to it... and I spend most of the episode largely apologizing and agonizing over not liking it!

Agree?  Disagree?  Either way, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this series and respectfully discuss it further in future episodes!

Where's yer crown, King X-Lapsed?

Today your humble host is "workin' hurt", as the crown I had put in last week decided to pop out on me!  But, as we say... neither rain, nor sleet, nor X-Corp or dental trauma will keep us from our assigned X-Duties!

I guess it's a good thing we don't have a whole heckuva lot to talk about regarding today's issue... though, I do go on at length about the feeling that we're simply in "treading water" mode until the January retooling of the line!  Please listen anyway!

It's not that you're wrong... you're just a jerk!

Today, we kick off the second arc of the Marvel Unlimited X-Clusive - X-Men Unlimited... and they're calling it X-Men Green... with good reason.

We're going to join perpetual killjoy, Nature Girl as she shows us how much she values human life.  It's a rough one, that feels like it was written by a petulant teen-ager doing their best to rebel, but we'll get through it together!

Also, Jeff the Land Shark runs through a tulip patch.

Plus: We take a look at Marvel Previews for all the goods we're gonna be getting in December -- it's the "calm before the storm" month, wherein many of our favorites (and not-so-favorites) are coming to an end!
