254 – Carry Each Other

Art by David Wynne. Wanna buy the original? Drop him a line!

In which Nicole Miller is fashion designer to Earth-1218 and Earth-616, Jay rejects the word “bestest”, we kind of want to just read every word of X-Men #30 aloud, One is a perfect wedding song for Scott and Jean, and you save the last dance for who brought you.

  • X-Men: The Wedding Album
  • Nonstandard trim sizes

  • Charles Xavier, reader stand-in
  • The largely forgotten Madelyne Pryor
