    Nov 26 2025

    Join us for another episode of Uncanny Book Club and explore one of the most influential storytelling sagas in comic book history.

    Episode 17 covers issues 139 and 140 of X-Men -- and it feels a lot like a season premiere. Wolverine and Nightcrawler head up to Canada to talk with Alpha Flight and are roped into hunting the Wendigo. Meanwhile, Kitty gets her first of many super hero names and begins taking dance classes with Stevie Hunter. We see Professor X discuss his dream and the potential he sees in Logan. Speaking of which, Wolverine helps save the day in Canada, but Alpha Flight ends up being disbanded.

    Nov 12 2025

    Join us for another episode of Uncanny Book Club and explore one of the most influential storytelling sagas in comic book history.

    Episode 16 concludes the story of the Phoenix, which stretches all the way back to X-Men issue 100. The X-Men fight the Shi'ar Imperial Guard in the Blue Area of the Moon, Phoenix once again breaks free, and Jean makes the ultimate sacrifice. We also get a quick summary of everything the X-Men have gone through from issues 1 to now -- and see that Scott Summers is taking time away from the team.

    Oct 29 2025

    Join us for another episode of Uncanny Book Club and explore one of the most influential storytelling sagas in comic book history.

    Episode 15 is all Dark Phoenix Saga! We see the X-Men confront Jean/Dark Phoenix, some space travel, some space atrocities, Gary Grey, the power of love, and it's all wrapped up in a way that the movies really, really are unable to capture.
