A fucked-up, twisted Warriors. Everyone has a perm. Jessica Drew's Full House House. Brawn over Brains. Who is this redheaded woman? Abandoning a Nightcrawler sub-plot. Ow!

One of the funny things about reading all the X-Books at once is that sometimes they align very well, and sometimes they are so deeply incongruous that it’s head-spinning. This has never been so true as in this episode. In the X-Men, we have an epic conclusion to a thrilling super-villain tale about grief, loss, insanity, and how amazing Cyclops is. In New Mutants, we have a man named Axe who is holding an Axe and his mutant powers are he found an Axe.BUT at least we start the show with some EXCITING NEWS!!Topics Discussed:Cyclops whipped his thing off. Earthrise. The Lahzbees. A surprise kiss… I hate plants now. A familiar priest! “Hey fiancé, are you my dead girlfriend?” Goodbye, Paul Smith. Hello John Romita, Jr! Allegedly electricity.

A man named Axe holding and Axe and his powers are Axe. My fear is pink goo. A Magnum P.I. Plan: “Do A Plan.” Sunspot beats Axe’s Ass. WHY IS HE TRAINING THE MOTORCYCLE GUYS STILL!?

It's an epic tale of tragedy and heroism. Of good and evil. Of monsters and heroes. Of mutants and bugs. And it all takes place within these 6 issues. It's THE BROOD SAGA. The X-Men are shuffled off to space to fight a menace that legitimately proves too much for them to handle. It's a wild, emotional ride and we just absolutely loved it.Topics discussed: Was Illyana in Limbo a filler issue? Woke King Wolverine. Moira MacTaggert has Pikachu tears. The Xavier Stare. Xavier’s ethical failings. Following a mental map to a special African cave to find Hitler’s secret gold! A familiar man. WE LOVE WOLVERINE! The scale of Berzerker Moods. Punching VCRs.
