We're still in the "current year" Mojoverse... and your humble host is doing his best to adapt.  Will this be the issue that breaks me?  (Spoiler Alert: No).

Some strong scenes in this issue, as well as a returning 'star straight from my wheelhouse as an X-Fan.

Also: Great listener mail, including a sorta-kinda "live-tweeted" tour through Empyre(colon)X-Men!

eXLapsedination, Episode 2 - Extermination #1 (2018)

After pressing through the "Countdown to", we're into the event miniseries proper!  It's an issue with a couple of casualties (one notable... one, less so)... as well as an introduction of a character who looms large in our current Dawn of X landscape!

We'll talk a lot (ie. project) about potential original plans for the original five... and what that might've meant for X-Men lore.  If the time-displaced crew were a) from the 616, and b) sent back to the past with the knowledge of everything that was yet to come... what might that have meant for our current-day continuity?

Could they have originally been intended as an in-story reboot mechanism for our mutant heroes?  Probably not... but, we're going to have fun playing "What if...?" anyway!

I'd love to hear (and share) your hot-takes on this issue as well.  If you've got any, please don't hesitate to send 'em in!

Hello friends - today we take a sorta-kinda pitstop over to a sorta-kinda "unofficial" chapter of Dawn of X... in, of all things, an issue of Deadpool (vol.8)!  What happens when Wade feels like he's being left out of the X-Men's reindeer games?  Well, he does exactly what your humble host does when he feels the same way - he pouts a bunch!

Trust me, it's a lot funnier than I'm making it sound... this issue is an absolute delight, and if you're following the Dawn of X books - you need this one as part of your "current year" library!

Plus: #XLapsed100 missives and much more in our mailbag!

In our milestone ONE HUNDREDTH episode... we talk about a wildly underwhelming issue of Wolverine!  Welp, we certainly do play the ball where it lay here on the show, don't we?

Today's episode is dedicated to anyone who has listened to this program - without you, there's no way I'd be able to keep up this rigorous schedule.  Your listenership and engagement mean more to me than I can put into words.  Thank you all.

We have an excellent Milestone Mailbag this episode as well!
