X-Lapsed, Episode 291 - New Mutants #23 (2022)

X-Lapsed New Mutants 23

X-Lapsed, Episode Two Hundred Ninety-One

New Mutants (vol.4) #23 (February, 2022)
"The Truth Shall Set Them Free..."
Writer - Vita Ayala
Art - Rod Reis
Letters - VC's Travis Lanham
Design - Tom Muller
Head of X - Hickman
Edits - Okoye, Brunstad, White, Cebulski
Cover Price: $3.99
On-Sale: November 10... or December 1, 2021?

Into the Astral... wherever the hell -- and into the most cliche bits and bobs of "surrealism" and "the abstract" that you could imagine!  Thankfully, Rod Reis absolutely kills is here... otherwise, this'd be quite the pedestrian little story.

What's it about?  Well, we're finally getting around to wrapping up the interminable Shadow King story that's taken over this title for, what feels like, the past several years!  At least I think we're wrapping it up... it's not all that clear.

Not much in the way of "back-matter" this time out... your humble host is still literally spitting fire after several days of dietary debauchery... otherwise known as, overindulging in sugar and carbs.

Writer - Tini Howard

Cover Price: $3.99
On-Sale: November 3, 2021

Kicking off our look at the 2022 (cover-dated) X-Books with the milestone 25th issue of Excalibur... which, I'm sad to say feels just as pointless as most of the non-milestone issues of Excalibur!

Who's ready for some more fighting in Otherworld?  Me neither... but, this is an all-or-nothing sort of show.  Listener Warning: I'm fairly down on this book... not to the depths of an X-Men Green or X-Corp... but, I did NOT care for it.  If that opinion offends you or rubs you the wrong way, you may wanna sit this one out!

We DO however have a fun x-tended Mailbag Segment, featuring the return of another of our great pals!  Also, This Week in X... and tangents a'plenty!

X-Lapsed, Episode 284 - Marauders #25 (2021)

X-Lapsed, Episode Two Hundred Eighty-Four

Marauders #25 (December, 2021)
"Night of the Comet"
Writer - Gerry Duggan
Art - Phil Noto
Letters - VC's Cory Petit
Design - Tom Muller
Head of X - Hickman

Cover Price: $3.99
On-Sale: October 27, 2021

It's the milestone twenty-fifth issue of Marauders - the first-ever 25th issue of the post-HoXPoX era!  It's also the penultimate issue of the book, but let's not dwell on that.

So, how do we commemorate this landmark triumph in comics numbering?  Do we get an enhanced cover?  Do we get a big story blowoff?  Do we drop a bunch of shoes?

Well.. no.  What we get is the second-part of the Eden Rixio filler story.  I guess we ARE too smart for those 90's milestone gimmicks... though, somehow we're still falling for the variant cover thing week after week.  Hmmph.

All this plus mailbag and more!

The Quiet Council is finally whole again... but, just how compromised has it become?  We've got lots to talk about - I hope you'll join in on the fun and speculation!

It's "hump day" for the (bordering on false-advertising) Trial of Magneto... and you all know what that means - it's time for a pointless fight to take up two-thirds of the issue!

Yes, folks - while we wonder what's going on with Wanda... and whether or not Magneto will be held responsible, the X-Men and Avengers team-up to fight off... giant kaiju monsters?  Oh... okay.

In addition to the story, we will touch briefly on the concept of the Triple Goddess concept from Neopaganism -- which might just be where this story will be headed once we get ridda Godzilla and Pals.

Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and news and hot-takes over whatever "Destiny of X" is going to be!

Our Wolverine book begins revisiting some older plot threads, perhaps in order to tie them off before we enter into The Age of #XLADOW this winter.  If you've missed Jeff Bannisher, Maverick, and Dolores Whatsherface from the X-Desk as much as I have, you'll probably dig this ish!

In what we might've called a "shoe-drop issue"... had this series ever had the opportunity to find its own identity, rather than being background for various line-wide events - we find out who Henry Peter Gyrich of Orchis's MOLE inside S.W.O.R.D. is!  Be ready to be whelmed!

Also - we talk and postulate a bit about the upcoming shipping delays, and... well, not much more!

So, guess what?  The X-Men are going to have to face their... nightmares!

Also, Ben Urich continues his expose on the Mutant Resurrection hoo-doo... in the fantastical Marvel Universe where heroes and villains die and return on a weekly basis!

Plus, perhaps the Secret Origin of... Captain Krakoa?!

It's time for another milestone episode... the two hundred seventy-fifth!  I almost feel like our cover-art today should have an Eagle Award logo on it!  Does anybody get that reference?  Ehh, probably not.

Anyway, today we get back to our never-ending Shadow King storyline... which, hey... is going to have to end at some point in the next couple of months.  In fairness, it kind of turns the corner here, and there's a true feeling of progression.

A sorta-kinda themed collection of Reign of X issues for this week's compilation piece!  The watchword is "reunions".  Today we're going to see the rematch between Storm and Callisto in the Crucible, Dani and Xian preparing for some Otherworldly stuff, Cable back on the trail of those missing babies we forgot all about, and (as our cover art suggests) Wolverine reacquainting with his old pal Maverick!

It's a fun show... wherein you can also join me in trying to make sense of the voodoo math Marvel employed to get Wolverine up to his 350th LGY issue!  All that, and 3+ hours of my regular nonsense, right here waitin' for ya!

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!
