Chris And Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

Another day - Another Wolverine guest-appearance!  I do believe that we might wind up eventually doubling our episode count including all of Logan's wandering around the 616! Today, after sorting out a misunderstanding with the Runaways, Wolverine and Pixie set out to rescue a brand-new mutant -- and bring the Runaways with 'em for good measure! If you don't listen... Nico might just transform you into an ice cream cone! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

In today's x-tra size milestone episode, we find out what Arcade and that elf from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special had in common.  Hint: It has to do with teeth! Also: Our titular Hellions face off against their deepest, darkest desires... and maybe grind up on a robot manikin or two.  I promise this is a book worth reading... and, hopefully an episode worth hearing. All that and some great and thought-provoking listener mail! Thanks to everyone for their support over these last one hundred and seventy-five episodes!  -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

We're still "off the beaten path" here... and, we're looking at - of all things, an issue of M.O.D.O.K.: Head Games!  Whodathunkit? We've got a little playful shade thrown at our Head of X... and a fun little adventure through the white-space with one of our new favorites - The Unbelievable Gwenpool! Speaking of "unbelievable" - I can't believe I just read a M.O.D.O.K. comic where I a) felt bad with him, and 2) wanted to read more!  It's an #XLapsed Miracle! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's the Hotpants Issue of Generation X - we've got a couple couples getting ready to start coupling... well, three couples I guess, if we count the Fenris Twins (let's not!). A fun issue... and a promising start to the second half of this run! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's anthology day at #FCTCXMen - and so, Walt (@waltkneeland) and me are going to take a look at two issues of Marvel Comics Presents! The Cyber storyline rolls on in Wolverine... the Beast is still looking for love... and we get to discuss the first Marvel work of eventual Uncanny X-Men artist, Joe Madureira! All that, plus Walt answers the dreaded Pod-File questionnaire!  -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com https://comicreviewsbywalt.com/ xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Remember how we all used to complain during the 90s that Wolverine would show up in so many books a month?  Well, it's a good thing THAT'S a thing of the past, innit? The more things change, right?  Today, we're taking a detour into, of all things, an issue of Black Cat (an ongoing series your humble host didn't even realize was a thing!) where she and a certain Mr. Patch are running the tables in Madripoor's Hightown.  It's a very fun story, I hope you'll give a listen! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Welcome to our "Just the X, Ma'am!" look at the Marvel's Voices: Indigenous Voices Anthology Special! Today we will be discussing two stories... one featuring Dani Moonstar, the other featuring Silver Fox -- the latter of which gives us the origin story of Old Blue from that crazy "Tracykins" issue of Wolverine (vol.2) we covered during the first episode of From Claremont to Claremont! Also: Great Listener Mail! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

It's taken us 12 issues and 13 months... but, we're finally heading into The Vault to catch up with Wolverine (X-23), Synch, and Darwin!  It's mostly a fight scene, but there are some useful bits and bobs dropped in. Also: Sinister Secrets Revisited!  We take a look at the 19 Sinister Secrets we first read a very long time ago to discuss which ones played out... and which we're still waiting on!  It's a very fun conversation I had with myself -- I hope you'll give it a listen!  -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Wolverine and Maverick flee Madripoor (it's a lawless place, donchaknow!) and try to talk each other into leaving their way of life.  Wolverine would dig it if Mav came to live on Krakoa... while Mav thinks it would be cool if they teamed up as Mercs again. Today they're going to go on one "last" caper together... -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Just when I thought it was safe to look forward to New Mutants... we're taken back into Otherworld! Many of the story beats of the last few issues that I cared about are squashed into a scant handful of pages so we might engage in yet another romp through the Fair and Foul Kingdoms.  Huzzah? -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

In which Quentin, Nathaniel, and Benji have a boys night out at a super-villain-infested auction house and Jubilee wonders what might happen to her if she loses herself to vampirism! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Kicking off the Scott Lobdell era of Alpha Flight! For this segment, Sean (@Sean42AZ) and I take a trip down to Tierra del Maiz, where Diablo is doin' some hoo-doo with some some phony Vibranium, Northstar baptizes a child - and our team gets a mysterious new member! Also: Sean sits in on the dreaded Pod-File! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com https://www.pulp2pixel.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Another step off the beaten path! Today we're joining the Champions, who are currently on the run from yet another acronymic Marvel organization!  This one is out to stop young heroes from... well, being heroes and they're called C.R.A.D.L.E. (get it?). After I do my darnest to navigate the OUTLAWED storyline, we discuss former Champion, Cyclops' attempt to help out his old friends.  Also: The Marauders show up!  It's about as X-Book as we can get... without being an actual X-Book! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Well gang - today we've got an issue in which nothing noteworthy at all happens... absolutely nada - not even sure why we're wasting our time with it -- they certainly don't name-drop one of the more elusive movers and shakers of the Krakoa era... no, sir nor madam... nothing like that. All kidding aside... if you've already read this one, you know we've got a LOT to chat about.  Let's buckle in and... theorize! Also: The Return of the Mailbag and some more X-Lection News! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Waiter, there's a clone in my dumpling! Today, Kid Cable dines with Domino... and has a fairly crazy family reunion. We're talking clones... which means, I'm going to be talking a lot. Please listen anyway! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

X-amining the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many - wow, the more I type that word the more meaningless it looks - many, many, many, many, many, many, many deaths of Quentin Quire. Today's episode ponders some deep concepts such as maturation, change... and questions whether what we're seeing play out on the page is what we think it is. Also: Some X-News and theories regarding the upcoming #ReignofX Summer of Bloat! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Stepping slightly off the beaten path today to take a look at a semi-recent Anthology special!  To paraphrase that fella from Dragnet, it's "Just the X, ma'am" as we take a look at four X-Relevant stories that appeared in 2020's Marvel's Voices #1 -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Spotlight on: Eye-Boy! After being stressed to the optic nerve(s) by his supposed mentor, poor Trevor can no longer control his uncanny abilities!  Too bad he's been unwittingly drafted into a woodland critter mob war!  And, no... I'm not joking. It's a story of beatboxing Rat Kings, and owl-based testicular trauma... you won't wanna miss it! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Y'all remember Weapon X, right?  What if I were to tell you that there was a sequel... that managed to be ten times as confusing... and had about one-tenth the impact?  You'd be jazzed, right?  Well, today you can hear my good pal Joe (@IowasJoe) and I talk all about the first chapter of it! Joe is also kind enough to sit in the hot-seat for the POD-FILE segment!  It's a great time as always - hope to see you there!  -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com http://www.dcnoisepodcast.com/ xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen

Spotlight on: Manifold -- the teleporter who isn't a teleporter... or something. This is a fine issue that manages to walk the difficult tightrope between moving the S.W.O.R.D. story moving forward... while playing into the King in Black mass-crossover event!  We've got a few mysteries introduced here -- it's going to be fun to try and suss 'em out! Also: Mailbag & News regarding "The Summer of Reign of X"! -- @acecomics / @cosmictmill / weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com xlapsed.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/ facebook.com/groups/90sxmen
