It's a Mutant Milestone!

Today we indulge in some good ol' Marvel "voodoo math" in order to get our titular hairy hero up to his 350th issue! Here, believe it or not... Wolverine has to deal with someone from his past! Also, a very interesting concept in the Legacy House Auctions...

All that and our always great mailbag!

If you're digging the show... or at least appreciate the effort put into it, please consider spreading the word! Thank you!

Heyyy, it's an issue of Excalibur from after our X-Tended Stay in Otherworld during #EcksofTens... any guesses where we're going to be headed today?

If you said "Why back to Otherworld, of course!"... well, I mean - where else would we be going? It's more squishing of our square-peg X-Characters into the round-magic-hole...

Ahem... we've got great mailbag though!

Welcome friends to the new Sunday Special Series!

Today we're going to begin our look at one of the series' that caused your humble host to head for the hills back in 2017... the anachronistic Generation X!

Since the issue itself doesn't give us a whole heckuva lot to talk about, today's episode will feature a lot of me yammering on about my life and times as a Gen X Gen Xer who read Gen X back in the long ago.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the series and the show! Please consider spreading the word if you enjoy!

We need to talk about Hank McCoy.

Our bouncing Beast sure has made a jerk of himself over... well, the past twenty or so years of publication... but, with today's issue - he kinda steps over the Rubicon into irredeemability (at least in your humble host's opinion).

Also, Krakoa purges an inky blob... and Domino's dog (which I didn't even realize she had) has a pretty bad day.

Into the Wild Hunt!

Welcome to a new era for the New Mutants - we've got a new writer, a new direction, and a new threat! Our Old New Mutants are going to be training a crop of directionless and malaised New New Mutants -- and these newbies are asking some difficult questions... referencing the dearly departed (and never comin' back) Madelyne Pryor! We got lots to talk about...
