Friday, July 5, 2024 • Duration 41:48

It's finally time to meet the clown girl! Today we're going to take a look at Harley Quinn's first in-continuity appearance, and talk about how I went about procuring my very own copy of the book!

NML Crossing, Episode 076 - Robin #67 (1999)

Thursday, June 6, 2024 • Duration 24:07

The summons has been made... the call to arms is in effect, and so -- we join a pair of Boys Wonder as they traverse the dank sewers in order to make their return to No Man's Land. Along the way, they're bound to run in with a geek or two... maybe even one of... ugh, Nick Scratch's goofs!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 066 - X-Men #51 (1968)

Saturday, January 14, 2023 • Duration 37:16

For the second time in only a handful of issues... the X-Men break up again! Well, sorta. Their youngest member leaves the crew. Well, sorta. C'mon, cut me some slack, there isn't much to say about this one!

I suppose we can talk about how this is the 66th Episode of our show... and, how if we only chatted up actual issues of X-Men, we'd be leaping into Giant-Size next ep (and we DO talk about that!)... or, we can talk about how the cover to this issue is too damned mindboggling for your humble host to decode (and we DO talk about that as well!).

Anyway... comics chatter, house-keeping, and the always interesting "back matter" (The Mutant Mail-Box is still Stan-free... and insane!). Join us, won't you!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 065 - X-Men #50 (1968)

Friday, January 13, 2023 • Duration 44:26

Covering the milestone FIFTIETH issue of X-Men! Remember when Marvel comics would actually MAKE IT to fifty issues? Hell, remember when they'd make it to 25?

Today we learn the truth about Lorna Dane's parentage... until it wasn't... then was... then wasn't... then was! We also learn a little bit more about a pre-Beast Hank McCoy.

The REAL star of today's episode, however, is -- as usual -- the backmatter. We've got Marvel sweeping the awards at a 1968 Comic Art Convention, a Letterhack (literally) threatening to burn down Marvel's offices, and Stan has a Soapbox Chat about bigotry... which may or may not extend to Berkeley Trust-Fund Hippies (you be the judge, gentle listener!). It's a fun time as always!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 064 - X-Men #49 (1968)

Wednesday, January 11, 2023 • Duration 40:18

Welcome to the X-Verse, Lorna Dane!

Today we're bringing our team back together, and shipping them off to San Francisco to face off against Magneto's "noble pupil", the dread Mesmero! We get the return of (and the opportunity to say 'goodbye' to) the original X-Men logo, before it's Sterankized next ish!

All'at plus the usual backmatter nonsense and more of my "insightful" tangents than anyone could (or should) handle!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 063 - X-Men #48 (1968)

Tuesday, January 10, 2023 • Duration 42:45

How can we miss the X-Men if they never go away?

Today we wrap up the "split-up era" for our Uncanny Heroes... just an issue after we kicked it off! This time, we're hanging out high in the desert mountains of New York City with Cyclops and Marvel Girl while they face off with a reject Fantastic Four baddie! It's not ALL bad though, once we get through with our lead feature, we get to watch Hank McCoy write with his feet for a few pages!

There's still the Mutant Mail-Box, the Bullpen Bulletins, and Stan's Soapbox gets relevant! All that, plus some discussion and interview notes about Gary Friedrich and Arnold Drake's little discussed time with the World's Strangest Teens!

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 062 - X-Men #47 (1968)

Monday, January 9, 2023 • Duration 34:40

With the X-Men no more, we check in with the Bosom Buddies and their Belles as they try to get tickets to the theatre! It's the return of the Warlock (not THAT Warlock... or the other one... probably not the third or fourth one yer thinkin' of either!). Also, despite the title of this ish... he's only got one face, and it's very boring!

Also: The Mutant Mail-Box, The Bullpen Bulletins... small-talk on Arnold Drake and Fabulous Flo Steinberg... and, finally, I read Professor Charles Xavier's eulogy! Join us, won't you?

The Essential X-Lapsed, Episode 061 - X-Men #46 (1968)

Sunday, January 8, 2023 • Duration 57:27

Back behind the mic after a long hiatus... jumping back in with the Silver Age X-Men, just as they're getting set to split up! This being a Chris-show, expect the first half-hour of it to be full of stuff you probably couldn't care less about... but, once I finally get to the comics-content, it's a pretty good time! Two "ehh" stories, the Mutant Mail-Box, and Bullpen Bulletins are all here!

Huge and sincere THANK YOU for your patience and lack of new episodes over the past few months.

X-Lapsed, Episode 361 - FCBD 2022: Avengers/X-Men #1

Sunday, August 14, 2022 • Duration 36:14

Welcome to AXE-Lapsed!

Kicking off the X-Lapsed coverage of the Summer-into-Fall, 2022 Crossovent, AXE: Judgment Day! Today, we're taking a look at three short subjects from two of Marvel's 2022 Free Comic Book Day offerings - two from FCBD 2022: Avengers/X-Men #1 and one story with a surprise X-Twist from FCBD 2022: Spider-Man/Venom #1!

All three stories are fun... and offer your humble host some (uncharacteristic?) optimism about the near future of the X-Books! Also: I willingly eat a bit of crow when I admit that Marvel (and DC) finally used the FCBD opportunity to actually deliver the goods... and reward reader loyalty!

Plus: A great Mailbag section!
