175 – Lady Windermere’s Fan Club

Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line! In which Gambit is transatlantically terrible; Rick Leonardi is the poor man’s Alan Davis (but in a good way); we try and fail to care about British royals; Miles should probably read some Oscar Wilde already; Jay has a lot of feelings about The Rocketeer; Shadowcat gets a genuinely stylish costume; and we would read the hell out of a series about Destiny, Mystique, and Wolverine’s WWII adventures. X-PLAINED: Why Gambit isn’t welcome in the United Kingdom X-Men: True Friends #1-3 The poor man’s Alan Davis Trad night Laird Alasdhair Kinross and his nonthreatening but convenient heterosexuality Inexplicably absent familial relationships Queen Lilibet the Second Lady Regina Windermere Several notable British fascists of the 1930s A snazzy airplane Several nefarious plots Formal pajamas The mystery of the Hypercolor™ kilt A large number of strong feelings about The Rocketeer Kitty Pryde’s best costumes Weaponized cosmic queerness (again) Power, agency, and the Dark Phoenix Saga How characters end up with their specific mutations.
