On the Eve of Episode 350, we hop back into the (alleged) flagship of the line for, sadly, another unsatisfying soulless story (complete with forced flashback to the Hellfire Gala)!

X-Men continues meandering on its way to the next big "shakeup". Be still my heart.

Once again, talking about that book that feels stuck between two Eras of X! This time out, we sit in on three meetings: one on Krakoa, one on Phobos, and one on Marsarakko... and, it's even less interesting than it sounds.

But - Rogue and Sunfire actually show up in the book they're supposedly castmembers of... so there's that!

We're back to the "flagship"... which, is unfortunately a book seemingly stuck between two eras. Not quite Reign of... but also not yet full-blown Destiny of.

It's widescreen mutant action... in that Morrison JLA style, which is to say... not my favorite approach. Snark and quips take the place of characterization... and, oh yeah -- M.O.D.O.K. shouts "For Science!" - that's a punchline, y'all. Laugh!

In the mailbag we discuss the shifting in what it means to be a Mutant in the post-Hickman landscape -- plus, a little bit more on the "seams showing" in XLADOW.

Then, I get a bit self-indulgent -- talking about the future of this (and other) shows on the channel... which, heck - if you made it that far, don't feel bad about clicking "stop".

Celebrating eighteen months of X-Lapsed with the Secret Origin of Captain Krakoa!

This is still a story I'm having a hard time getting out of my own way on... but, if I squint and forget that this takes place in a shared and fantastical comic book universe... I can *almost* get it?

Welcome back to the flagship... aka the ONLY book in the entire Marvel Universe that's attempting to pay attention to the fact that superfolk die and come back to life with insane regularity... which, is also why this story doesn't quite stick the landing!

Join your humble frustrated host, as he attempts to get past that and enjoy the issue for what it is!

Tastes Bland, More Filler!

The Hickman-leaving-the-X-Books effect continues to interrupt the flow of our flagship book -- as, this is yet another x-ercise in water-treading for our mutant heroes.

The focus is on Lorna this time out... and, well... it's kinda good and kinda bad. Also, did you know she's a DOCTOR? Don't worry if you forgot, this issue will remind you several dozen times. Did you know ROGUE is a member of this team? Don't worry if you forgot... the book did too!

All that, and I complain a bunch about upcoming X-Book news... and, how I'm already getting burnt out on 2022... just three days in! It's a great time as always!

Cuz this is FILLER... FILLER night!

Yes folks, we're only four issues into the flagship... and we're already smacking headfirst into the filler wall, with a story featuring Marvel's Crown Prince of Filler Issues: NIGHTMARE!

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?!
