(Actually, it’s part of a triptych! Here are all three, together at last!)
Damnit, Stryfe. (Uncanny X-Men #296)
Ew. (Uncanny X-Men #296)
Including this entirely for Archangel’s epic grumpy face. (Uncanny X-Men #296)
Alas, the podcast JY & Miles X-Plain the X-Men won’t exist for another 23 years. (Uncanny X-Men #296)
Say what you will about Scott and Jean, but they’re aware of their own cliches. (Uncanny X-Men #296)
Of course. (Uncanny X-Men #296)
The number of unsettling ways in which X-artists can mess up drawing babies never ceases to impress. (Uncanny X-Men #296)
“Also, sorry ’bout your table.” (Uncanny X-Men #296)
“Remember,” said the editor, “Every comic is somebody’s first!” (X-Factor #86)
Seriously, though, that could not get more Patrick Nagel if Patrick Nagel had drawn it. (X-Factor #86)
“AND I’LL BE THE HEAD!” (X-Factor #86)
THIS. PAGE. (X-Factor #86)
No, not particularly. (X-Factor #86)
Seriously: Ew. (X-Factor #86)
“Eh, I got nowhere else to be.” (X-Factor #86)
They’re so enormous and heavily armed! (X-Men #16)
Aw, man, this is a really good heroic moment. (X-Men #16)
WHOOPS. (X-Men #16)
Well, that’s portentous. (X-Men #16)
Stryfe’s tirades remain an impressive mix of incredibly specific and frustratingly vague. (X-Force #18)
Possibly the most Stryfe line of the entire event. (X-Force #18)
Dang, Cable. (X-Force #18)
“Like, organs and stuff.” (X-Force #18)
I’d like to think that Stryfe is angriest about the pun. (X-Force #18)
SPOILER: He’ll be okay, at least by Cable standards. (X-Force #18)
Maybe it’s a universal remote! SERIOUSLY, CYCLOPS, I KNOW YOU WERE RECENTLY DEPRIVED OF OXYGEN, BUT IT’S VERY CLEARLY A DETONATOR. (X-Force #18)
Ouch. (X-Force #18)
NEXT EPISODE: Live from FlameCon, featuring Sina Grace, Magdalene Visaggio, and Leah Williams!
LINKS & FURTHER MISHAPS:
- I know this Waiting for the Trade strip is years old, but the joke really never stops being funny.
- For all your old-school hacking needs.
- According to Wikipedia, the not-Stüssy S is in fact called the “Cool S,” which is a fairly bold claim.
- Ferruginous hawks are ridiculous, but they’re still not as ridiculous as Warren Kenneth Worthington III.
WOLVERINES SKELETON:
Waiiitaaa, waita, waita second. Were you (Jay) suggesting that Wolves skeleton has adamantium in the hollow cores of teh bones (where bone marrow would be)? I always took it as he has a thin coating of adamantium over ALL of his bones. Except at key spots at the joints to not impede his knees hinging, shoulders moving, etc.
In reality, he should be all heavy and barely able to move. I mean it’s not like he has super strength to overcome that extra weight etc. imagine how agile u’d be with all that shit stuffed in you and weighing u down!:P
this started a lively discussion in this FB group if anyone wants to join in, https://www.facebook.com/groups/4045322485/permalink/10156597755257486/
Can I ask what the version of Total Eclipse of the Heart at the end was? It was fabulous and not one I was familiar with!
Many thanks,
Anthony
That was a cover by The Protomen, a super-rad band best known for their two-part (soon to be three-part) rock opera about Mega Man!
Many thanks, Miles. I will be finding a way to download it. Also, am looking at taking up the musical challenge in this week’s episode. Hopefully, you will be hearing from me!!!!!!! (I put those there for Jay)
