25 - Uncanny X-Men #125-128, Annual #3 - Proteus

Not much of an intro this week. We've really gotta start doing more X-Men related stuff, I guess. But then we get into a rip-roaring, intense few issues where we finally meet the elusive MUTANT X (remember? from the door?)! Also, just fair warning, there’s some pretty rough stuff in this one (CW: descriptions and discussion of sexual assault and rape)Topics Include:Angus MacWhirter?? Jean and Moira are serving looks on Muir Island. Just who the hell is this Jason Wynnegarde guy?? We don’t trust him. Subtly cucked in space. What a beautiful Scott and Hank reunion. A less-than-beautiful Scott and Jean reunion. Claremont HATES Jamie Madrox. The Trenchcoat. Oh no, Ferdie Duncan! Jean hunts a human. Wolverine’s skeleton is metal?? We don’t have to call him Mutant X anymore. Scott never forgets a slight. “That’s not what you said when the Leprechauns were here.” Has Moira MacTaggert lost her damn mind?! Sparring in the hot cocoa grove. A sharp sweater on a horrible man. Dai Thomas! This stuff is pretty fucking dark. Does Proteus make sense? Do these bees have souls? The horror of being enclosed in the earth. “OWW!” Now let’s do a silly one. Danger Room antics. Arkon the half-nude cave viking. The Imperion! Colossus on a dragon!! Storm’s great sacrifice – or Scott’s? The difference between Claremont and Thomas.Write in to Pat's Email Corner: [email protected]: @mutantmenacepod
