In which some puns are fundamentally visual; Jubilee is a really good kid; Bastion is a bad person but a good villain; Bachalo does Romita; Seagulls are assholes (but reasonably good narrators); Skin has no time for fantasies; Hitch does Cockrum; and Operation Zero Tolerance (unofficially) begins (again).

  • Event build-up
  • Generation X #26-28
  • Bad times on a raft
  • Valuable lessons from the Xavier School
  • Yet another somewhat pointless Nightmare cameo
  • Jubilee vs. Operation Zero Tolerance
  • A good conversation
  • Cookin’ with Jubilee
  • Seagulls
  • Dreams
  • The Island that Chills Like a Man
  • Strong Guy on Krakoa
  • How (and whether) Logan ages

In which standing in fields looking confused is a way of life; Psylocke gets a new superpower; when you gotta confess you gotta confess; Iceman’s dad stands up for justice; we mourn a Sentinel; and it’s probably a good thing that most companies don’t do mind melds as a team-building exercise.

  • Miles’s brief baseball career
  • Uncanny X-Men #338
  • X-Men #58
  • X-Men Annual 1996
