Who are The Twelve?
I mean, we know there are Twelve of them, but... well... who?
We fill in the blanks in this week's new UNCANNY X-CERPTS!
"Long simmering" implies, at the very least, repeat mentions -- like Bishop's search for the X-Traitor. This was taken off the stove and put in the deep freeze for nearly a decade, where it curdled into something completely different.

The X-Men are at war with the Skrulls, but who is the real enemy?
All this plus Mr. Money in the Bank Death in this week's UNCANNY X-CERPTS!
Dave Cockrum was with no hyperbole whatsoever one of the best character designers to ever work in superhero comics. His sense of style holds up today with many designs like Phoenix, Nightcrawler and Storm being all-time classics.

The X-Men are being invaded!
The only clear answer is to dress up like your brother's girlfriend and trick some Skrulls!
It's the ultimate catfish in this week's UNCANNY X-CERPTS!
Against a photo of Ian McKellen in X-MEN (2000), Conor Smith’s tweet: @conorsmith Magneto's plan in the first X-Men film is flawless: find the senator most vocally targeting your minority group and turn them into a horrible goo 6/20/22
MAGNETO WAS RIGHT 😃

Also, fun is fun but the meme of everyone pretending that Reyes and Maggott were great characters people look back on fondly needs to be stopped. We get it, you're under 30.

10.11.2025 21:38 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Logan's pathological need *not* to be the team leader is kind of a funny running gag in the Claremont run. He prefers to take orders from a 14-year-old girl than give them.

A nothing being in a nowhere place.
I thought Claremont lifted it from something, but it seems purely him.
So haunting of a description
Uh Oh! Death, comes to town!
The X-Men marshall their forces against the Skrulls, but who are they really against?

(I also tried filtering via creator in MU which was WAY off since they're randomly spotty on who they credit.)
