ICYMI, last week me and @adamreck.bsky.social reviewed Uncanny X-Men #29 for @comicsxf.com, which mercifully (if confusingly) seems to bring the Graymalkin Prison story arc to a close.

Also, be sure to check out Adam's follow-up piece, which traces the hints and developments in the Inmate X mystery now that the character stands revealed.

161 - Identity Disc - 6/9/2004
When Marvel saw the success of DC's Identity Crisis and tried to say, "hold my beer."
Cover by Tony Harris. Interiors by Robert Rodi & John Higgins.

047 - Weapon X
What's more "1994": this set having TWO "Weapon X" cards, or the set featuring cards of the entirety of Cable's old mercenary group, the Six Pack?

My pick this week is MASK #1, the latest expansion of the Energon Universe!
MASK was certainly a second-tier toy line for me, but one I still have a lot of affection for. I mean, gull wing doors that open up and then the car can fly?
That just makes sense.
162 - Inferno #2 - 6/10/2015
I still inexplicably dig furry Beast in the brown-and-yellow costume.
Cover by Andy Clarke. Interiors by Dennis Hopeless & Javier Garrón.

049 - G.W Bridge
In terms of names that are puns, "George Washington Bridge" is a first ballot Hall of Famer.

X-Men Blue Team highlights from Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1!
Which one is your favorite?

048 - Grizzly
Another great example of cobbling together a cardback bio based on very little available info
In terms of hirsute strong characters based on cryptids/ursids, it goes Sasquatch > Wendigo > Grizzly > Yeti, right?

160 - X-Men (vol. 2) #171 - 6/8/2005
Remember that time Mystique catfished Gambit?
Cover by Salvador Larroca. Interiors by Peter Milligan & Larroca.
