Chris And Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

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!

Original Recipe X-Lapsed is back... and, it's Excalibur Day!  Shockingly, this time out it doesn't completely feel as though I've missed an issue -- though, some oddities do abound.  What we have here is a mostly enjoyable issue, where pieces are falling into place to (hopefully) take this volume into its satisfying conclusion. Plus: Mailbag, the January 2022 Solicits (before everything fell apart), This Week in X, and 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 Unlimited day... and X-Men Green refuses to quit! What's more, I fear it's become sentient... having realized that it might just be the worst X-Men story ever put to paper, it's now shifted from full-blown lecture mode into being an attempt at comedy! ... at least we've got It's Jeff!

In our Essentials "October finale... in the middle of November", we're going out with a... meh!  The X-Men fight another interchangeable monster of the month... and Cyclops fears that Professor X might have the not-so-secret hotpants for the lovely Ms. Grey!  Plus: Our Origins of the X-Men featurette rolls on, showing us how Scott and the Prof first met!

It's the regular-sized, nothin' happenin' Landmark Milestone FIFTIETH Episode of The Essential X-Lapsed! And, boy do I wish we had a better story to talk about... It's the X-Men vs. Frankenstein('s Monster)... by the way, I will refer to him both as "Frankenstein" AND "Frankenstein's Monster"... so, consider that your trigger warning!  Also, we meet the First Evil Mutant, the ridiculous Jack O'Diamonds!

Finally... our X-Tended stint with Factor Three comes to a close! Today, your humble host proves that not even threat of illness will keep his stupid ass off the microphone, as we close out this arc, and prepare to jump headlong into the next... even weirder era!

Our Factor-Three story rolls on... well, it kinda limps on, but we'll try and remain positive.  Also, for the first time ever, X-Men has a back-up featurette, as we're kicking off the long-promised "Origins of the X-Men" series of stories! Plus - The Mutant Mail-Box, Bullpen Bulletins, a new (hopefully unsqueaky) chair and all that nonsense! -- 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

Finally... FACTOR THREE! No more lollygaggin' and beating around the bush... it's time to finally get down to it.  Our heroes are faced with the menacing mutants behind the clandestine organization bent on world domination.  Not only that, they're put on TRIAL by them! Plus: Mutant Mail-box (featuring a missive by VIP Peter Sanderson, Jr. - and a brief biography of the actual Comics Historian himself... delivered by your favorite Fake-Ass Comics Historian), the Bullpen Bulletins Page (featuring an argument about the MMMS Rankings!), Stan's Soapbox, and 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

For the fifth of... however many weeks, it's more X-Men Green - and rather than waste all of your time kvetching over how much I don't like this story, this is a pretty basic recitation of the story beats... with little (relatively speaking) in the way of editorializing.  We've also got a great li'l It's Jeff! short, which actually ties in with our current year X-Stuff! Plus - The return of the Mailbag, "real-time" feedback, shout-outs, and 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

Revisiting and Collecting one of the X-Lapsed "Sunday Special Series", where I looked at mini-series and events that I'd missed out on during my 2015-2019 X-Hiatus. This time out, we're going to find out just how Jean Grey managed to wriggle her way back to the land of the living... and we're also going to find out that hot dogs taste like mustard and bigotry!  It's kind of an uneven thing... -- 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 our Merry Mutants are truly down on their luck... not only is the X-Mansion nearly robbed, but the kids realize that, without Professor X -- they're dirt poor!  So, what is a hero to do?  Why, head down to the Welfare Office in your Rolls Royce to beg for some cash!  And no, I'm not joking... The X-Men also look for some blue-collar work, and take part in the most touching Father and Son reunion this side of that episode of Saved by the Bell when Zack's dad wouldn't take him fishing. All that, plus our usual back-matter nonsense... including a Letterhack or two trying to get one over on Stan the Man! -- 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

So, Banshee's attacked by a spider right around the same time Peter Parker heads up to Salem Center... what could possibly go wrong? That's right, folks - it's the first battle between Spider-Man and the X-Men... and it goes pretty much as you'd expect.  At least it's Factor Three-adjacent... looks like we're not too far off from finally kicking that arc off in earnest!

Stan and Roy ain't quite ready to pop the cork on Factor Three... and so, it's Filler Time!  In today's issue-sode, the heroes head underground to rescue Ralphie Roberts, who was caught in a war for the Underworld between Tyrannus and the Mole Man - a battle to see which one of them might bore us more! (Spoiler Alert: It's a tie!) All 'at, plus our usual dives into the Mutant Mail-Box, Bullpen Bulletins, the Merry Marvel Marching Society... and 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

Into the Ruby Limbo of Cyttorak! Today we wrap up our second Juggernaut arc by traveling INTO the Gem of Cyttorak itself... and facing off against the dread demonic Xorak. Also, our Factor Three subplot continues to (slowly) bubble away. Plus: Mutant Mail-Box, Bullpen Bulletins, Stan's Soapbox, and much 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

Who's ready for a lecture? You know I am, dear listener!  Yes, it's time for another in and endless string of installments of X-Men Green.  A story that might actually enlighten some folks if it took its head out of its backside long enough to try and engage in some non-strawman material! Plus.. your humble host vamps for a long while about my migration from Blogger to Wordpress, just so I could put off covering the story!  Please listen anyway! ***The Weekly X-Men Green Disclaimer*** I didn't like this one... if that somehow offends you personally... please consider skipping this episode!  Back to fun stuff tomorrow, I promise! -- 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

Happy Halloween, everybody and welcome back to ...to the Choir! This time out, Dave and Chris get into all the gestalty goodness of Preacher #2.  We see the "softer" side of Sheriff Root, meet his soon-to-be comics famous son, and bear witness to the grandest reveal in comics history... wherein we find out that a member of our cast might just be a vampire! All, that plus our usual nonsense - a look into USENET postings of the day, Garth Ennis's sorta-kinda petulant missive from Preacher #1's "Gone to Texas" column, listener mail, shout-outs, and much much more! -- https://www.patreon.com/xlapsed Leave us a Voicemail! 623-396-JERK @acecomics @Lavahog weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Heyyy, it's the long-awaited launch of Children of the Atom... and, well... they don't even get the cover for the anthology volume!  How sad. We've also got Betsy beboppin' around the Infinite Earths, Wolverine partying like it's 1992, Kid Cable makin' time with Domino... and much, 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 chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Beware the Juggernaut, my son! Today we find out what lurked behind the brown door (don't Google that) and our youngest X-Man's birthday party is interrupted by both Bernard the Beat Poet and the dread threat of Satan's Saints!  Someone cue Yakety Sax... as silliness abounds! Plus: Mutant Mail-box, Bullpen Bulletins, the inaugural Stan's Soapbox, the dramatic return of the Mighty Marvel Checklist... and much, much more!  Yer humble host is strugglin' with some new dental work... and, I'm happy to say, no tongues were bitten off during the making of this episode! -- 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

Who's ready to meet Creepy Ted Robert's far-superior older brother? Yeah, me neither... but, he's kinda important for this story. Also: Stop me if you heard THIS one, o' Front-Facer - the X-Men are sent on vacation... which gets interrupted by a baddie!  That almost never* happens. All that, plus the Mutant Mail-Box, the Bullpen Bulletins, and much more gestalty goodness from yer humble host!   *always -- 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
