POPULARITY
Back in the XLADOW saddle, where our premise is beginning to make a bit more sense (at least to your denser-than-most humble host). We follow our titular hero through various phases of his life... where he's granted both the opportunity to protect and save an Xavier... as well as perhaps right a few of his own past wrongs -- Chekhov's Butterfly Effect looms large here, gang! Will this series wind up shaking the foundations of the Krakoan Era... or, just be a DC Comics Convergence-like nothin'? I suppose we'll find out together! -- Patreon: 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

The Beatles wrote a song just for this occassion... We're Sixty-Four! Michael Leal of the "Who The What Now" Podcast and Danger Entertainment helps us ring in our sixty fourth episode, which we almost dedicate to the end of DC Comics' "Convergence" event. But... It wouldn't be Graphic Novice if we didn't delay the discussion of comics, in favor of some weekly off-topic banter. After getting all the network plugs out of the way, we get an update from VF farms, check in with Michael's many exploits and get an update on all the ongoings of the Danger Entertainment podcast network. Nickel also takes some time to complain about stuff. In the "Comic News" segment, Michael Leal walks us through some of the key events leading up to "Convergence", in an attempt to help us understand the consequences of DC's most recent universe-wide event. The conversation follows a few different tangents, as Convergence is compared to Secret Wars, and the guys debate whether Marvel or DC has better villains. In "Rapid-Fire Review" we look at books released on May 20, 2015, including Fade Out #6, A-Force #1, Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #1, Guardians of the Galaxy #27, Master of Kung-Fu #1, Moon Knight #15, Planet Hulk #1, Secret Wars Battleworld #1, Uncanny X-Men #34, Wolverines #19, Bloodshot Reborn #2, Ninjak #3, Ufology #2, and The Tithe #2. As always we wrap things up with a look towards the books we're going to be reading next week (May 27, 2015), and say our goodbyes after a tight and efficient 3 hours of podcasting.

Its the end of the Spider-Verse event and Nickel, VF, and Francois are all back for another episode, despite having to squeeze this episode in on early a Saturday morning (and by squeezing the episode in, we mean its less than 2.5 hours). Some brief coffee discussion, turns into a discussion of fast food, which then turns into a discussion of McDonald's, which then turns into a discussion of nickel's new bodybuilding career, which then turns into a discussion of doc's flimsy knees. The conversation goes further and further off track, eventually touches on Valentine's Day 2015, and doesn't really turn towards comics discussion of any sort until the 48-minute mark... Another reason we shouldn't record on weekend mornings. In our somewhat informal "Comic News" segment we talk about the upcoming DC Comics "Convergence" event and what titles will survive, which will be cancelled, and look at some of the new books that will come out of the event. In our "Rapid-Fire Review" segment, we look at Deep State #4, Wild's End #6, Batman Eternal #45, The Harley Quinn Valentine's Day Special #1, The Empty #1, Southern Bastards #7, All-New X-Men #36, Amazing Spider-Man #14, Darth Vader #1, Nightcrawler #1, Thor #5, X-Men #24, and Guardians of the Galaxy #24. We wrap things up with a look towards the books coming out February 18, 2015. Thanks to all the "Thirsties" out there for your support!
