The number 1 Virtual Boy Fan

Cyclops from the X-Men, approving of Nintendo's Virtual Boy. Cyclops can only see in red, and the Virtual Boy's primary color is red. A good match!

I've written over 450,000 words about the X-Men in the last 8.5 years and you'd think I'd have expressed some trash opinions in that time but nope, turns out it's all gold.

"Ninja" is the third in a series of retro X-titles (Savage Land Rogue, White Queen) that have zero story reasons to exist beyond selling cheesecake variant covers of "sexy ladies." But Psylocke Ninja has the additional issue of an enormously problematic version of the character at its core.

Perhaps the most vital X-Men story that isn't an X-Men story.

BACK ISSUE! Magazine @backissuemagazine.bsky.social · 1d

In San Francisco, Spider-Woman saves a Jane Doe from drowning in the bay.

"Jane" is the missing Carol Danvers whose mind has been erased after an assault from a mutant named Rogue.

Now possessing all of Carol's memories and secrets, Rogue and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants attack The Avengers.

Various panels depicting scenes from the storyline: Captain America getting punched, Iron Man incapacitated, Spider-Woman flying through the sky, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, a silhouette of a mystery woman and the Avengers meeting the Uncanny X-Men.

The Avengers Annual #10 (1981) by Chris Claremont, Michael Golden & Armando Gil.

Specifically (and yes, it IS a fake Xavier.)

X-MEN #80: Children of the Atom Part Two

The X-Men race to stop the launch of the Benassi Rocket, but how will they fare against -- the X-Men??!

I'm taking the next week off -- sorry to leave you hanging on this shocking cliffhanger! -- but there will be a special supporters-only post next Wednesday on Ko-Fi!

Uncanny X-Cerpts @uncannyxcerpts.bsky.social · 5d

Further honorable mentions go to Futurama, Bodeans "Closer to Free," (Party of Five) Gavin DeGraw "I Don't Wanna Be" (One Tree Hill), Lazlo Bane "Superman" (Scrubs), various songs used by the Drew Carey Show, Game of Thrones and most variations of Doctor Who.

Uncanny X-Cerpts @uncannyxcerpts.bsky.social · 5d

Non-X related, "Hey Beautiful" by the Solids (How I Met Your Mother), and "At Least It Was Here" by the 88 (Community) are my favourite real-ish song themes

WKRP in Cincinnati, Cheers, Welcome Back Kotter and Golden Girls are among the best vintange themes

Tbh I always thought the "Pryde of the X-Men" theme slapped in a somewhat corny, campy way.

a hand is reaching for a broken glass window .

Genuinely thrilled to see an executive in comics come out with this hard of a stance about it

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

This is why my screenwriting career never took off

Uncanny X-Cerpts @uncannyxcerpts.bsky.social · 6d

Ray Park, Doug Jones and Andy Serkis should star in a movie... where they're just three dudes working in an office.

WIZARDS The Podcast Guide To Comics @wizardscomics.bsky.social · 6d

Check out the first round of Casting Call ideas for a #gijoe movie from Wizard issue 117, where the staff predicted Ray Park as Snake Eyes 8 years before he appeared as the character in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra! What do you think about the other picks?
