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! -- Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

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! -- TIMESTAMPS: (00:00:00) X-Men (v.5) #1: "Pax Krakoa" (00:51:02) Marauders #1: "I'm on a Boat" (01:40:35) Excalibur (v.4) #1: "Verse I: The Accolade of Betsy Braddock" (02:10:19) New Mutants (v.4) #1: "The Sextant" (02:51:47) X-Force (v.6) #1: "Hunting Ground" (03:42:10) Fallen Angels (v.2) #1: "Bushido" -- Twitter: @acecomics / Instagram: @90sxmen

In which Professor X reveals which of his X-Men he loves the most... and, no... I'm not kidding.

Kicking off a brand-new X-Lapsed offering... in which we go all the way back to 1963 and revisit with our Original Five!  Lookitus being actual fake-ass comics historians, ova hea'! Today we meet Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Angel, and Jean Grey... as they do battle with the first ever Evil Mutant -- Magneto!  I mean, I ain't blowin' any minds here... this is X-Men #1, of course you know what happens in it! It's my hope that this program will run concurrently with the main X-Lapsed series while we wait for shipments of new books to arrive. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these Silver Age stories -- if there are any that especially stand out to you and you'd like to chat about 'em on the air - please don't be a stranger! -- @acecomics / @90sxmen / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

In which we spend what feels like 100 years talking about 100 years in the Vault!  The good news is, this is where it ends (for now). We've got more charts and graphs than you can shake a stick at this time out... please listen anyway! -- @acecomics / @90sxmen / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

In (hopefully) the final time X-Lapsed looks at the #KinginBlack Mass-Event Crossover, Conan stands side-by-side with the Marauders to try and take down The Knullifed Cyclops and Storm Who Laugh! Also: Deadpool is Wile E. Coyote Plus: Great Listener Mail! -- @acecomics / @90sxmen / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

In the FINAL issue of Generation X (vol.2), we deal with the fallout of Kid Krakoa's accidental rampage through the streets of New York City... where, evidently, the Police and Emergency Services are too disinterested in taking a look at themselves... because it's all being left to our lovable loser squad (and Quentin Quire)! Also: Jubilee gives Jono one heck of an arm hickey... Next Time Out - It's Marvel Legacy! -- @acecomics / @90sxmen / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Due to popular request... of around three people, and with the understanding and appreciation that the high episode numbering of the X-Lapsed program might be a turn off to a perspective listener, I have decided to make things a little bit easier by starting the The Collected X-Lapsed initiative. For this initial episode, we go all the way back to the first dozen episodes of X-Lapsed, where I had an eight hour conversation with myself about House of X and Powers of X.  I had a ton of theories, hot takes, and worries for the X-Future... as well as my own X-Past. If you've been X-Lapsed curious, but weren't sure where to start... well, here it is!  If you're a longtime listener, this will hopefully make it easier to revisit should you ever be on a very long road trip with nothing else to do! -- TIMESTAMPS: (00:00:00) House of X #1: "The House that Xavier Built" (00:34:42) Powers of X #1: "The Last Dream of Professor X" (00:58:52) House of X #2: "The Uncanny Life of Moira X" (01:27:07) Powers of X #2: "We A

Picking up from where we left off (I think) over in King in Black: Marauders #1 (Episode 160 in the Archives!), we have some Avenging house-crashers show up at New York's Hellfire Club - and, as luck would have it - the Marauders are just about to pop in there themselves! Only one more episode covering King in Black! -- @acecomics / @90sxmen / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's Kwannon vs. Betsy, Round Skatey-Eight Hundred! Can Psylocke convince the Bets-Essence to become one with the Black Market Betsy Bod?!  Also: What does this have to do with the Jackdaws? (Not much, sadly) Plus: Some Great Listener Mail! -- @acecomics / @90sxmen / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

With a little help from his friends... This time out Kid Cable leans on some of his pals in hopes that they might help him track down Stryfe.  Also, we learn a thing or two about the particulars of the Resurrection Protocols as it pertains to duplicates in the form of time travelers and alternate reality-types - and, boy-o-boy, are we gonna be talking a lot about that! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Tom gets tickled!  Logan eats a lip!  Beast gets broken!  Sage gets sloshed (and allegedly dances to Mariah Carey*)! Something weird(er than usual) is going on in Krakoa - and it's all because of a certain formerly non-conformist Omega Mutant. We're killing time til the Hellfire Gala - please do consider coming along! *Pics or it didn't happen - with bonus points if it's All I Want For Christmas is You! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Wrapping up our Krakoan King in Black crossover with the Knull-Corrupted Kid Cable facing off against the Everywhere Man! Also - Could Magneto be coming around to Fabian Cortez's way of thinking? Lots to talk about today - including great mailbag offerings and a deep-dive on the X-Books hitting the shelves in June, 2021! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Well, slap my face and call me HoXPoX... we've got us a Krakoa sighting in this here issue!  Well, the Grandson of Krakoa anyway... the mid-2010's were a weird time. Also, Bling! has a therapy session with PhD in training and Generation X alumni, Paige Guthrie.  How does THAT make us feel? -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Today we wrap up Episode 2 of From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast with our final segment, during which Adam (@hojukoolander) and I take a look at all the X-Bits fit to print in the pages of Wizard: The Guide to Comics #3!  Take a trip with us back to late 1991... and join us in the Gestalty goodness! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com https://theretronetwork.com/category/podcasts/wizards/ xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

The Boneyard's Haunted... by X-Factor?! Today's episode features plenty of Mutant death... and morr of the Morrigan.  It also feels a bit truncated - which will likely be today's "watchword" Also: A very challenging Mailbag for your humble host, who tries not to stumble over his words too badly. -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

After a year of delays... it's finally time to meet, well - whoever these Children of the Atom turn out to be! In this opening chapter, we get elbows deep into the mystery of who... and/or what these characters might end up being!  Are the Chimeras?  Are the high on MGH?  Are they just really good Cosplayers? ... and how come they changed the last page of this issue when it published digitally?  I make a lot of wild theories... and I'd love to hear yours as well! Also: An X-Cellent Mailbag Segment!  -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen
