Oh man!!! I didn’t realize it because of the way we subtlety backed our asses into it over the last couple of issues, kind of like what my wiener dog does when he tries to sit in my lap while I’m driving, but we’re tits deep into another Rogue / Wolverine buddy adventure!! I love these two crazy kids!! (Uncanny X-Men #237 – Nov 1988)

After the last R-rated issue of Uncanny X-Men, where the X-Men fought and mutilated a bunch of insane serial killer cyborgs, we get a decidedly tender and cheerful holiday issue, where the whole gang takes part in a Christmas escapade, returning all the loot the Reavers stole to its rightful owners all over the world (because the loot is haunted) like a bunch of god damned underwear gnomes. Nothing like a Christmas issue published in June!! (Uncanny X-Men #230 – Jun 1988)

Magneto goes to his new allies at the Hellfire Club in order to use their equipment to locate his students, and while he’s there he gets briefed on all the other Fall of the Mutants events going on with the other X-Men teams, as X-Factor battles Apocalypse in New York and the X-Men fight the Trickster in Dallas. And hey!!! What the heck is Friedrich von Roehm doing in these panels!!!! He got the shit disintegrated out of him by Nimrod back in Uncanny X-Men #209!! Major artwork flub right there. This is like in those old episodes of Transformers where Cliffjumper starts talking and they cut away from him and back and he turns into Bumblebee. (The New Mutants #61 – Mar 1988)

You always know shit is getting real in the Marvel Universe when all the random heroes are sitting shaving or something and then they look around and go “wtf was that?” (Uncanny X-Men #135 – July 1980)
