Fantastic Fools? How a Claremont and Byrne cold war put Galactus on trial
While the Chris Claremont/John Byrne run of Uncanny X-Men is rightly regarded as a creative high water mark for the series, containing some of its best-known and beloved stories (including “Proteus,” “The Dark Phoenix Saga” and “Days of Future Past”), their run ended somewhat abruptly, with Byrne departing after one-too-many “Colossus ripping up a stump”…
In Uncanny X-Men #244, Jubilee is Slimer
Editor’s note: Marvel has again graced us with another facsimile edition of a classic X-Men comic, so enjoy this retro look at Jubilee’s first appearance. “Inferno” is over and it’s time for the X-Men — or their female members, at least — to cut loose with a trip to the mall. But prejudice lurks everywhere,…
The Marauders got hopes and dreams too in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Wolverine: Deep Cut #4

The name’s Gambit, remember it: A look back at Uncanny X-Men #266

Krakoa waves goodbye, and all that’s left are Ashes in X-Men #35/Uncanny #700
All good things must come to an end, and as good of a thing as the Krakoan era has been for mutantkind, its time has come at last. The tragedy and triumph of FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X, the madness and mystery of RISE OF THE POWERS OF X, they have all come to…
The Uncanny Experience to return for sophomore year
If you missed out on the inaugural Uncanny Experience X-Men fan convention earlier this fall, you’ll get another chance to enroll, thanks to the recently announced Uncanny Experience Sophomore Year.

The X-Mansion comes to Minneapolis in the Uncanny Experience
When the Uncanny Experience was first announced, I was admittedly skeptical. Part comic book convention, part immersive fan experience, the idea of transforming the venerable Minneapolis Club in downtown Minneapolis into a de facto X-Mansion for a weekend, then inviting fans to come and not just buy merch and listen to creator panels, but enroll…
Battle Of The Atom: The Power Of Solar
The rules? They no longer apply to us. We’ve decided to stretch the premise of the podcast past the logical conclusion and into a world where frankly, nothing is ever the same.

Gambit #5 Doesn’t Stick the Landing, Mes Amis
Can Remy Lebeau save the woman he loves, and her mom, and his ward, young ‘Ro, from grotesque intergalactic bounty hunters?
