Wrapping up the second volume of S.W.O.R.D. with an honest-to-goodness "shoe drop"!  Secrets are revealed... which retroactively make much of this series' crossovent interruptions make a lot of sense!

This is a goodie... and, even though this volume's over and done with, we still need to concern ourselves with "What Comes Next"!

Wherein your humble host is still literally spitting fire, as a result of Holiday overindulgence... but, let's not let that distract from our given task of chatting up all of these X-Books!

Today's episode is focused on Wiz-Kid... our, sorta-kinda-but-definitely-not-turncoat, as revealed last issue.  We're going to actually get to know him a bit better... which only makes me even more bummed out that so much of this S.W.O.R.D. volume has been co-opted into various "crossovents", and has spent such little time fleshing out its own interesting and semi-obscure cast!

It's fun f'r the whole family!

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!

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.

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!

S.W.O.R.D. has done the impossible... made me feel sympathy for Fabian friggin' Cortez!  Today's episode features a Quiet Council pile-on on the poor former Acolyte... who is given the floor to make a plea, but is not even given a pair of boxers post bursting outta his goldball!

There's also some Snarkwar stuff... but ain't nobody got time for that!

Plus: Great Mailbag and chatting a bit about the INFERNO announcement!
