X-Lapsed Triple-Dip, Episode 12 - Giant-Size X-Men by Jonathan Hickman

The weekend kinda got away from me, and so - in lieu of an all-new episode, we're indulging in another compilation piece.  And, I mean, let's face it -- it's doubtful anybody's gonna bother listening even if it WAS new... so, whattayagonnado?

Today we're looking at the wildly disjointed... and rather unnecessary run of Giant-Size specials the Head of X was putting out during the Dawn of X era.  Storm's sick... like really, really sick... so sick that it's never mentioned in ANY other books she appears in!  Don't worry though, she gets better.

Plus: We've got not one, but TWO iterations of "Baby's First Grant Morrison Comic" in a callback to the "Silence!  Psychic Rescue in Progress" Nuff Said! issue of New X-Men and a dip into Fantomex's The World.

Also: Magneto makes a deal with Namor to procure a certain island that will be the site of a certain Gala.  Oh, you didn't know there was a Gala coming up?
