Today we usher in the double-digits era for our Wave One Dawn of X books... starting with Marauders! This is also a notable issue for being the first DoX book to hit the shelves after the current pandemic set in. Can it possibly live up to the x-pectations of the starving X-Fandom? Well... I suppose your mileage may vary.

(middle bits originally from Wolverine (vol.2) #154-155 (September-October, 2000)

Six issues just wasn't enough, was it? Anyone else up for another romp with the Major and M'Koy? Well... uh, howsabout we spend this final episode of Major X-Lapsed talking about a two-part Wolverine story from the year 2000 instead?

That's right folks - we're spending all but eight pages of this $5 zero issue looking at a story that appeared in Wolverine (vol.2) #154-155 (September-October, 2000) - featuring characters who haven't been seen since! As for those other eight pages... well, they might just cause an X-Istential crisis... we're going to meet a whole lotta bucketheads... who we'll probably (hopefully?) never see again.

Whatever the case - Major X-Lapsed is now complete... I want to humbly thank everybody who has hung on for this weird little seven-week sidebar!

Episode 3 of From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast rolls on -- and goes off the beaten path, with our first look at a comic (prestige format dealie, actually) that isn't one of our regular monthlies!

This time out, I am joined by Mark Radulich (@MarkRadulich) to discuss one of Wolverine's many, many... many guest appearances. It's a little ditty called Hearts of Darkness by Howard Mackie and John Romita, Jr.!

After going through the story cover-to-cover, we continue the FCTC Episode 3 "hook" where my co-host discusses the "Soundtrack of Their Life"! Another very fun conversation... I hope you all decide to join us - and maybe even share your own personal "soundtrack"!

Check out more from Mark at the W2M & Radulich in Broadcasting Network!

Sandman Universe "Gatherum", Episode 8

Cosmic Treadmill Special: Sandman Universe "Gatherum", Episode Eight (of Eight)

It's Black Friday in America -- and not only does sharing this final compilation of Reggie and my coverage of DC's Sandman Universe books help me not to have to record an all-new show on Thanksgiving Day - I can also sorta play it off with a "Hey, remember in the 90s - when all those kids wearing black wouldn't shut up about Neil Gaiman's Sandman? Black clothes... Black Friday... ehh? ehh?"

Okay, I tried... I'm sorry.

Whatever the case, I hope you all enjoy this final installment.

In which your stumblin', fumblin', humble host hits his personal "tipping point" as it pertains to "X-Men in Space" stories. Sure, Cyclops and Havok's daddy lives out there... and the X-Men have a lotta friends and enemies out there - but, can we please get an issue without a reminder of that fact?!

Also: Happy Thanksgiving!

In which your stumblin', fumblin', humble host hits his personal "tipping point" as it pertains to mutant deaths. Sure, the Resurrection Protocols of the HoXPoXDoXSoX era have changed the "rules"... but, with this issue, it's almost turned to parody. We'll talk a lot about that today...

Also: More great listener mail!
