In which sky pirates are the best pirates; Wolverine eats chicken in the woods; Xavier’s area loses its status as our least favorite panel; Cable is suspiciously credulous; we search in vain for a consistent metaphor; Storm has a thing or two to learn about restorative justice; and this entire miniseries should probably just have been an annual.

- Storm #1-4
- Mark Trail
- The Morlocks (more) (again)
- Unacceptable gradients
- Butt murder
- Fashion
- Several memes of yesteryear
- Product placement
- The new Worst Panel
