Chris And Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

I think I owe X-Corp an apology! For everyone who's ready to be lectured and condescended to by a story... boy, have I got one for ya!  For those who ain't... well, at least there's It's Jeff! and an amazing Mailbag segment! X-Men Green rolls on... and, while it has its heart in the right place... is, in the opinion of this humble idiot... going about telling their story the x-act wrong way. Hearts and Minds will likely NOT be won over with this one. ***Disclaimer: I didn't like this one... if that personally offends you, this might not be the show to listen to! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Welcome, friends to an all-new program -- one that's been in the works for quite a while now!  Join Ed and I as we explore a TRUE hidden gem in comics history... Mike W. Barr's wonderfully fun detective, romance, dramedy: THE MAZE AGENCY! For this first episode, we will discuss how and when we first discovered this series, we'll dig into some of the history surrounding it and it's creators, and we'll dig though the issue cover-to-cover.  Our story is a whodunit that we hope YOU can solve before WE (and Jen and Gabe) do! On top of that, we've got some of the gestalty goodness you've come to expect from this channel, as we take a look at what else Comico (how DO you pronounce that word anyway?!) had to offer during the Winter of 1988/89!  Did someone say "Elementals Sex Specials"???, cuz... while those ain't out yet... we're gonna talk a little bit about 'em! We hope you enjoy our look at this series... and would love to hear your thoughts as we go along! -- Leave us a Voicemail! 623-396-JERK @acecomics

A sorta-kinda themed collection of Reign of X issues for this week's compilation piece!  The watchword is "reunions".  Today we're going to see the rematch between Storm and Callisto in the Crucible, Dani and Xian preparing for some Otherworldly stuff, Cable back on the trail of those missing babies we forgot all about, and (as our cover art suggests) Wolverine reacquainting with his old pal Maverick! It's a fun show... wherein you can also join me in trying to make sense of the voodoo math Marvel employed to get Wolverine up to his 350th LGY issue!  All that, and 3+ hours of my regular nonsense, right here waitin' for ya! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Welcome friends, to the October Finale of X-Lapsed... X-Men Unlimited notwithstanding! Today we will discuss a rather unspectacular issue of Wolverine... and the X-Books Sales Charts for July, 2021!  It's a fun discussion I had with myself here, I hope you decide to check it out! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

From famine, to feast... and back to famine again! After a few episodes full of intrigue and import... we return to reality!  An issue of S.W.O.R.D. that, while not bad, reads kind of like a filler/inventory story. We've got the story of Storm trying to prove to herself and those around her that Marsarakko has not broken her. -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Burn it Down! We've finally arrived at Inferno... and your humble host has NOT yet been spoiled!  This is one that takes me back to our earliest episodes... wherein I was making wild and outlandish theories, noticing all sorts of symbolism that may or may not exist, and didn't trust anything I was seeing!  In other words, I had a LOT of fun with this! I hope to hear all of YOUR wild theories on this one too!  The crazier the better! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Today's episode is a very special one, as I'm joined by my great pal Walt (@waltkneeland) to discuss Way of X Number Si....err, X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation #1!  We'll share some of our experiences with the character, go deep on the issue itself, and discuss whether or not it was everything we hoped for when it was solicited! Huge thanks to Walt for hangin' out!  If anyone listening wants to pop on as a special "tour guide" for a future show, please let me know! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com https://comicreviewsbywalt.com/ chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's the X-Men vs. The High Evolutionary! And, well... that's about it!  We do get some more environmental shaming though, so look forward to that! Plus: Mailbag, Shout-Outs, This Week in X... and over a half-hour of my very own (as requested) Idiot's Guide to Podcasting!  The TL;DL version is... don't do anything I do! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Gather round folks, so we can all learn how awful we are as human beings!  Turns out litter is far more dangerous to the Earth than supervillains, and evil mutants! Yes, friends - it's part-two of our "very special episode", X-Men Green. Well, at least there's It's Jeff! and the mailbag! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

A kind of all-over-the-place collection of post Ecks of Tens stories... the ongoings appear to be attempting to rediscover their own unique identities after being intertwined in Otherworld for the past several months. And, once they actually appear to GET their footing... well, then we'll toss a wrench into the works when we begin building to the Hellfire Gala! -- TIMESTAMPS: (00:00:00) Marauders #16: "Consequences" (00:41:54) New Mutants (vol.4) #14: "Welcome to the Wild Hunt" (01:18:01) X-Force (vol.6) #15: "Trench Warfare" (01:48:06) Excalibur (vol.4) #16: "They Keep Killing Braddocks" (02:30:37) X-Force (vol.6) #16: "Into the Deep" (03:08:06) X-Men (vol.5) #17: "Empty Nest" -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Ding-Dong, this book is done! But, let's not get ahead of ourselves... we still need to discuss this final issue!  There's not a whole heckuva lot to it... and I spend most of the episode largely apologizing and agonizing over not liking it! Agree?  Disagree?  Either way, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this series and respectfully discuss it further in future episodes! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Wanda - How can we miss you if you won't stay dead? Today we continue working our way through one of the event miniseries which will take us into the next phase of the X-Books!  The Avengers have popped in for a visit... and to pick up Wanda's remains - only to find themselves embroiled in a battle with her former father figure! We're going to talk a whole lot about Cerebro backups, telepathic torture, and so much more! Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and News - oh, my! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Enter Now: The Lame Duck Era! The once (and still mostly) solid Marauders limps toward its conclusion with what feels like some time-killer filler.  Gotta buy some time before the big shake-up! Plus: Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and more on Penguin Random House's shipping woes! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Where's yer crown, King X-Lapsed? Today your humble host is "workin' hurt", as the crown I had put in last week decided to pop out on me!  But, as we say... neither rain, nor sleet, nor X-Corp or dental trauma will keep us from our assigned X-Duties! I guess it's a good thing we don't have a whole heckuva lot to talk about regarding today's issue... though, I do go on at length about the feeling that we're simply in "treading water" mode until the January retooling of the line!  Please listen anyway! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Doom demands passage... to Otherworld?!  Oh c'mon, Vic... why ya gotta do us like that? Today's Excalibur adventure takes us back to... where else?  It's also kind of a mess. Least we got the Mailbag, Shout-Outs, This Week in X... and some news about Penguin Random House's shoddy shipping!  It's a good time as always, I hope you'll join me! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's not that you're wrong... you're just a jerk! Today, we kick off the second arc of the Marvel Unlimited X-Clusive - X-Men Unlimited... and they're calling it X-Men Green... with good reason. We're going to join perpetual killjoy, Nature Girl as she shows us how much she values human life.  It's a rough one, that feels like it was written by a petulant teen-ager doing their best to rebel, but we'll get through it together! Also, Jeff the Land Shark runs through a tulip patch. Plus: We take a look at Marvel Previews for all the goods we're gonna be getting in December -- it's the "calm before the storm" month, wherein many of our favorites (and not-so-favorites) are coming to an end! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Ecks of Tens is firmly in the rear-view and we're rockin' and rollin' into the Reign of X era. In today's compilation, we will be dealing with some Arrako-fallout, and formally introducing the world to the new-look S.W.O.R.D.!  Plus, all of my usual nonsense - you won't wanna miss it... well, if you missed it the first time around, anyway! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Welcome to the world, Sean Cassidy! Today we meet one of the more enduring X-Characters of the Silver-Age... future X-Man, Headmaster of the Massachusetts Academy, and Horseman of Apocalypse: Banshee!  I also somehow wander into complaining a lot about how commercialized internet search engines have become... and how difficult it is to research when you're wading through pages and pages of advertisements-posing-as-search-results.  Please listen anyway! Plus: All of the late 60's era back-matter that you never knew you needed in your lives! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

With all of the D-List baddies outta the way, it's time to get back to X-Business as Usual... and reintroduce The Menace of the Mimic!  How did ol' Cal Rankin get his mojo back?  Is he friend or foe?  What does this mean to our Merry Mutant heroes?  We'll sorta-kinda get those answers and a whole lot more today! Plus: In our Letters Page, we learn that Rascally Roy doesn't take to corrections and criticisms with the same charm and good humor that Stan the Man did!  Roy does NOT like being corrected!  Looks like these letters pages are about to become even MORE fun to cover than they already have been!

Wrapping up our two-part KooKoo epic! ... and despite how boring it was, we do get some interesting character beats to discuss!  Will Scott finally admit that he's got the hotpants for Jean Grey?  Will Warren swoop in, Professor X-style, at the last moment to snag all the glory?  And what of Jean's creepy co-ed, Ted Whatshisface?  It's starting to get soapy up in here, and I'm diggin' it! Also: The All-New X-Men Letters Page, Bullpen Bulletins, our own Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and much more (including an x-tended pre-ramble about how I spent my October Vacation)! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed X-Lapsed Voicemail: 623-396-5375 (or, 623-396-JERK) Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen
