An episode emblematic of the "X-Lapsed Problem", as it pertains to over-analysis and repetition... and, if THAT doesn't entice you to listen, I don't know what would!

If you DO decide to listen, we'll be wrapping up the eleventy-hundred part Paradise Lost - with a clever gimmick and a slight cliffhanger that I kinda doubt will ever be paid off.  Life of Wolverine continues to be a 90 second read, which leads to about 45 minutes of independent research in order to fill in all the blanks we're left with!

Is there anyone getting anything out of this Quick 'n Dirty look at Wolverine's life?  If so, please lemme know!

The penultimate of Paradise Lost brushes with greatness when we almost get a very special exchange between Juggernaut and Professor X.  Also, Deadpool gets squished a whole bunch.

Meanwhile, Life of Wolverine meanders on... straddling the line between being an illustrated (and incomplete) Wikipedia entry, and an actual story.  It's trying to be both, but succeeding at neither!  We'll stick with it, however, and hope for the best!

A pair of very... *slight* stories for this Infinity Comics outing: Juggernaut and Deadpool finally make their way to Krakoa for the upcoming two-part finale... and our trek through the Life and Times of Wolverine takes us through Origin's I and II... without wasting a single beat!  "Quick 'n Dirty" might just be an overstatement!

All 'at plus the Mailbag!

Playing catch-up on our X-Infinity Comics by rejoining the Juggernaut and Deadpool's run-in with the Human Adaptoid... in which we don't get any Nazi jokes... but, DO get some jokes beaten into the ground all the same!

Also, we step off the beaten path to take a peek at a Spider-Bot story... which stars, believe it or not, Wolverine!  Both stories are pretty fun this time out... and well worth your time in checking out!

Plus: Mailbag and This Week in X!

Welcome to the book that, at first blush, I thought might be the actual low-key flagship of the Dawn of X line!  Which is to say, we've got something of a team here... and stuff actually happens!  Also, the Resurrection Protocols are TRULY put to the test in this one!

A world of fantasy and magic awaits... whether we want it or not.

We're about to deep-dive on a book where it's ALL Otherworld, just about ALL the time.  Maybe it'll make more sense in this Triple-Dip "collected" format?  You'll have to let me know!

So, get ready to join Betsy Britain, Ayyyyy, and the whole cast of Excalibur as they... do magic stuff, and muck around with weird royalty.
