350 – The Xavier Protocols

Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line! Variant cover by Dylan Meconis! And a real, live, downloadable sketch variant! In which we celebrate a milestone with a special collectible episode; there may already be a Charles Xavier in your basement; Onslaught lacks subtlety; Bill Watterson may or may not have changed his licensing policy on Earth-616; guns should not have hair; and Jay once again exercises his questionable lyrical skills. X-PLAINED: Excalibur #100 Fantastic Four #415 X-Factor #125 X-Men #55 Onslaught (more) (again) The Xavier Protocols The many secret subbasements of Charles Francis Xavier The Xavier Protocols An extremely poor file-retrieval system Onslaught vs. the Fantastic Four Li’l Charlie A circus, kind of Lang disambiguation Onslaught’s new look Onslaught vs. several Avengers An unlicensed rug The only thing Bill Watterson loves Metaphorical Turkish delight The Brand Corporation (more) (again) Dark Descendents Hairy guns Caps for Sale A really big fight A very dramatic EMP Why Onslaught looks like that NEXT EPISODE: Yep, more Onslaught! “Magneto’s Cape” lyrics by Jay Edidin, with apologies to Marsha Norman. Performed by Steve Pence and Adam Faruqi and produced by Adam Faruqi. CORRECTION: There are only three variant covers to this episode, not four; Jen Vaughn had to bow out due to other commitments.
