Welcome to Marvel Legacy, Gang! We're back to our Legacy Numbering and everything... and by "everything", I mean... well, that's basically it. Nothing else about this screams "legacy", but... we can't have everything, now can we?

Here, as Generation X barrels toward its conclusion, we're seeing all of our main story threads converge in a most convenient way. We've got two issue-sodes left after this!

Wassup, Trade-Waiters! The Collected X-Lapsed continues its journey through the post-HoX/PoX era with a look at the first volume of the Dawn of X Anthology Collections. These anthologies are a fantastic way to keep up-to-date on all things (current year) X, and are something your humble host gives Marvel two thumbs up for coming up with (keep in mind, my thumbs up and a dollar might buy you a cuppa coffee at McDonalds).

Today we're diving deep on all of the Dawn of X, Wave One, Number Ones... I hope we survive the x-perience!

If you're new to X-Lapsed, and are using these collected editions to dip your toe in - please reach out, I'd love to hear from you!
