One of the X-Men of the future pulls a Thunderbird! It's sort of not who you expect, largely because all the characters are still ciphers! But by the end, we've got our core cast! #XMen #XMen2099 #Xaminations

Am I saying this story involving Rachel Summers in her "future priestess" mode & a random Trask sibling singlehandedly led to The Authority, Ultimates, "widescreen" comics & the MCU? No.

But I'm not NOT saying that...

New X-aminations - X-Force and Cable '97 #1!

Dani reunites with X-Force to reminisce about the New Mutants' adventures in Asgard by...having an adventure in Asgard!

Am I an easy mark for this sort of thing? Yes. Is this still better than most issues of late? Also yes.

New X-aminations! Looking at Excalibur #110, in which Captain Britain quits again as the series continues to go through the motions of being a comic book which exists. #XMen #Excalibur #Xaminations #CaptainBritain

We all remember Gamesmaster, right? Well, he's back in X-Men Annual '97, which is also maybe the best Joseph story yet?

New X-amination! The Rob returns as Cable meets Shatterstar Captain America aka Prophet & Crypt aka Prophet's Stryfe! And a hard-nosed, gun-wielding Jack Kirby homage! Also, Kang is there!

It's Prophet/Cable #1-2! #XMen #Xaminations #Cable

Cable meets his (psychically-resurrected by his horny alternate reality counterpart) mom for the first time in Cable #44, in the pleasantly low-key beginning of James Robinson's run on the book. #Xmen #Cable #Xaminations
