Chris And Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

The difficult "sophomore episode" of the Action Comics Daily Appendix opens with some Christorical information about what led to the shift to ACW over at Chris is on Infinite Earths, and some of the concerns and worries I had about that shift! From there, we talk all about the second chapters of our original six features!  We witness a Green Lantern funeral, we nearly sacrifice Deadman, we blow up a bookstore and an airplane, and we almost see Janos Prohaska's li'l Blackhawk! It's been a blast revisiting these, I hope you're enjoying them as well!  I'd love to hear your thoughts! -- Original ACW #602 post: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/2019/02/action-comics-weekly-602-1988.html  Wanna Read Ahead?: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/p/action-comics-daily_3.html  -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisonin

In our third compilation of the X-Ploits of the Silver Age X-Men, the Marvel Universe tour continues -- pitting our heroes against the Avengers for the first of a billion times! Also, they have their sure-to-be final confrontation with Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants... EVER!  After which, the two fan-favorites from that crew have to decide where their allegiances lay -- will Wanda and Pietro make dozens of letterhacks happy by joining the X-Men... or, will they wind up somewhere altogether un-x-pected instead?! Speaking of letterhacks - each of the X-Men segments in this collection feature a full-blown discussion of the Letters Pages, as well as the proto-Bullpen Bulletins! -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Taking a half-step off the beaten path to deep dive on... a robbery!  That's right, gang - there's been a heist in the Marvel Universe, wherein editorial and marketing stole one of the more seminal beats in X-History and handed it over to the Avengers... cuz, lord knows they need it! Today it's Phoenix Song: Echo - can Maya Lopez sidestep both Phoenix Corruption and Mansplaining long enough to do something worthwhile?  Let's find out together! All'at plus a super-sized mailbag, featuring Inferno-chat, Jeff the Landshark talk, and the return of a good friend! -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's the milestone twenty-fifth issue of Marauders - the first-ever 25th issue of the post-HoXPoX era!  It's also the penultimate issue of the book, but let's not dwell on that. So, how do we commemorate this landmark triumph in comics numbering?  Do we get an enhanced cover?  Do we get a big story blowoff?  Do we drop a bunch of shoes? Well.. no.  What we get is the second-part of the Eden Rixio filler story.  I guess we ARE too smart for those 90's milestone gimmicks... though, somehow we're still falling for the variant cover thing week after week.  Hmmph. All this plus mailbag and more! -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Celebrating 15 months of X-Lapsed with the second chapter of our big Fall-Winter event!  In today's offering, we get a couple of "shoe-drop" moments, as well as a slew of all new questions that we're gonna need answered pretty quickly! The Quiet Council is finally whole again... but, just how compromised has it become?  We've got lots to talk about - I hope you'll join in on the fun and speculation! -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's "hump day" for the (bordering on false-advertising) Trial of Magneto... and you all know what that means - it's time for a pointless fight to take up two-thirds of the issue! Yes, folks - while we wonder what's going on with Wanda... and whether or not Magneto will be held responsible, the X-Men and Avengers team-up to fight off... giant kaiju monsters?  Oh... okay. In addition to the story, we will touch briefly on the concept of the Triple Goddess concept from Neopaganism -- which might just be where this story will be headed once we get ridda Godzilla and Pals. Plus - Mailbag, Shout-Outs, and news and hot-takes over whatever "Destiny of X" is going to be! -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

In my 30+ years of reading X-Men comics, I've certainly read some stinkers... After X-Men Green, however, I feel I owe them all a sincere apology.  Today marks the end of what is, in my opinion, the worst X-Men story ever put to digital paper.  Will Nature Girl and Curse have to answer for their crimes?  Of course not! Will the actually learn anything?  Hell naw! Will this story wrap up in a satisfying way?  You sh*ttin' me? Also - the "season finale" of It's Jeff! where he steals something and looks adorable while doing so... which, is kinda how 80% of Jeff stories go...

For our second MasterworX compilation, we x-plore the X-Men's first crossovers... having them cross paths with the likes of the Fantastic Four and Iron Man... while Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has a run-in with The Mighty Thor! We also advance the X-Men's own story... including an episode that has some sort of weird temporal anomaly... not sure if y'all can help me out with this, but - during X-Men #8, the pages get a bit fuzzy... and the art and writing style changes a bit for a blink of an eye.  Hmm... it's probably nothing important! All that, plus the original letters pages, the proto-Bullpen Bulletins, and much more! -- TIMESTAMPS: (00:00:00) Tales of Suspense #49: "The New Iron Man Meets The Angel!"

Hey, remember how Laura, Darwin, and Synch were sent into the Vault like a hundred years ago?  I'd almost forgotten myself!  That'll all get cleared up during this compilation episode... also, more King in Black in S.W.O.R.D., more lawless Madripoor in Marauders, and more Quentin Quire corpses in X-Force!

Beyond rolls on with the (literal) fallout of last issue's cliffhanger!  Peter's in the hospital... and things might never be the same - ya know, until they are again! Meanwhile, Ben Reilly has himself a severe case of the "Parker Guilt"... which he really needs help in getting over! Another excellent issue of this brave new era for Spider-Man... and definitely a fun jaunt back into the webs for your humble host.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today we're doing something a little bit special for the holiday weekend... kicking off a couple of installments of a potential new program here at the channel, very much (as the name might suggest) in the vein of X-Lapsed. I haven't been a regular Spidey reader since the first few months after the Marvel NOW! era Superior Spider-Man... however, due to the "Beyond Board" being comprised of creators whose work I very much enjoy, I couldn't help but to be yanked back in! Today's episode is kind of a long one, kicking off with a (relatively) quick 'n dirty look into my Life and Times as a Spider-Fan... then, I'll discuss the first issue of this brave new era - from the point of view of a truly "Web-Lapsed" reader! I hope you enjoy... please make sure and let me know if you 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 The All-New, All-Diffe

Our Wolverine book begins revisiting some older plot threads, perhaps in order to tie them off before we enter into The Age of #XLADOW this winter.  If you've missed Jeff Bannisher, Maverick, and Dolores Whatsherface from the X-Desk as much as I have, you'll probably dig this ish! -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

In what we might've called a "shoe-drop issue"... had this series ever had the opportunity to find its own identity, rather than being background for various line-wide events - we find out who Henry Peter Gyrich of Orchis's MOLE inside S.W.O.R.D. is!  Be ready to be whelmed! Also - we talk and postulate a bit about the upcoming shipping delays, and... well, not much more!  -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's the penultimate insult!  X-Men Green, Part Seven of Eight... in which Duggan tries to continue to amp up the comedy - emphasis on "tries".  We've also got Jeff... and a great thought-provoking email about the X-Men Green endeavor overall!

Collecting the first six episodes of The Essential X-Lapsed... which, coincidentally covers the first six issues of X-Men!  If you've been interested in starting with the Essentials program, but don't dig the shorter episodes... or don't know where to begin, welp - here ya go! This first and seminal selection will introduce our young mutant heroes, and have them face off against the likes of Magneto, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Blob, and the star of X-Lapsed Point One, Namor the Sub-Mariner!

Welcome to the compilations of perhaps the X-Lapsediest X-Lapsed "Sunday Special Series" yet!  When I walked away from the X-Books in 2015-2016, the Time-Displaced Original Five (get used to THAT phrase, by the way) were still looming large in the present day.  When I made my return... they were gone - and they seemed to have taken Old Man Cable with them! What happened?  Where did they go?  How did they leave?  Were they the same O5... or not?!  Well, all of those questions were answered in this here event miniseries - eXtermination!  Join me for this trip down time-displaced lane, won't you... and let's finally send these kids back where they belong! For X-Tra fun... maybe also grab a listen to The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 12 in the archives! -- TIMESTAMPS: (00:00:00) Countdown to eXtermination (00:30:36) eXtermination #1 (00:54:31) eXtermination #2 (01:10:16) eXtermination #3 (01:28:01) eXtermination #4 (01:49:02) eXtermination #5 (02:13:54) X-Men: The Exterminated #1 (02:46:44) Uncanny X-Me

Cuz this is FILLER... FILLER night! Yes folks, we're only four issues into the flagship... and we're already smacking headfirst into the filler wall, with a story featuring Marvel's Crown Prince of Filler Issues: NIGHTMARE! So, guess what?  The X-Men are going to have to face their... nightmares! Also, Ben Urich continues his expose on the Mutant Resurrection hoo-doo... in the fantastical Marvel Universe where heroes and villains die and return on a weekly basis! Plus, perhaps the Secret Origin of... Captain Krakoa?! -- 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 The All-New, All-Different chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Today the Chronicler chronicles... and Colossus crushes!  As we (hopefully) approach the end of the Mikhail Rasputin/Cerebro Sword mishigas, our story is finally picking up a bit of steam.  Boy, will your humble host be happy when these books hit their 25th issues so maybe we can start getting some fresh content!

It's time for another milestone episode... the two hundred seventy-fifth!  I almost feel like our cover-art today should have an Eagle Award logo on it!  Does anybody get that reference?  Ehh, probably not. Anyway, today we get back to our never-ending Shadow King storyline... which, hey... is going to have to end at some point in the next couple of months.  In fairness, it kind of turns the corner here, and there's a true feeling of progression.

You ever hear a grown man gush?  If not, you've probably never listened to anyone talk about Hellions... because, damn this is one well-done book! As we approach our conclusion we're taking a trip thru "shoe-drop city"... lotsa revelations, and food for thought dropped right in our waiting laps.  And, if you've listened to this program for a minute... you'll know that I'll sometimes sink my teeth into a theory, and not let it go.  I might do that a couple of times throughout today's discussion!
