173 – The Muir Island Saga, Part 2

Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line! In which Abs-lantis will not be denied; "slightly traumatized" is basically the default state of Xavier's original students; we pick up the slack for Nicieza; Banshee and Moira MacTaggert probably have an active and varied love life; Xavier miscounts the X-Men; we look back over the Claremont/Simonson era of the X-Universe; and Jay makes a case for the re-resurrection of Jean Grey. X-PLAINED: X-Men: Red Namor's beard The conclusion of the Muir Island Saga Uncanny X-Men #280 X-Factor #70. Cool orange spacesuits that make you immune to telepathy Off-brand Magneto hats Literary terrors of our childhoods Agents DeMarco & Heacock (R.I.P.) Casual use of nuclear weaponry The cavalry The end of the Shadow King The most dysfunctional timeline Uncanny X-Men #200-278 The case for an eclectic X-Universe X-Campus Resurrections, and when they do and don't work NEXT EPISODE: Ed Piskor's Grand Design The visual companion to this episode will be up sometime before the end of 2017, by which point Jay's lungs will hopefully be working again.
