I had a flashback when I first saw this. I was excited to see it on the comic book shop shelf. I don't get that a lot these days. Greg Capullo has always been great. Fabian Nicieza could really bring it too, unlike the most recent "cable" 2024 issues. I have to downsize my comic collection soon, and parting with some of these Greg Capullo X- Force issues will be hard to do.

It was revealed in issue 73 that Stryfe was behind the Camp Verde situation

This was probably my most anticipated comic. I recall that it was delayed several weeks; which made it even more enjoyable once it arrived.

Great video, this issue really foreshadows Dark Knight and Sin City both thematically and visually. The sparse scenes in the hospital and the final panel in particular are very Sin City. I've enjoyed your coverage of this first Miller run on DD, thanks!!

The best X-Men comic that John Romita Jr. has ever drawn! Love the hologram that Marvel did way back in the 90s!

Classic cover!!

Silvestri is tha MAN! Man the FEeoing! Dan Green! The Colors! 9:40 I see Kubert in this one.... Joe Kubert. From Joe...To Dan and Marc.... and Back to Adam Kubert. Evolution!

Obe of my first Hulk Comics! Dale Keown delivers 11/10!!! Glynis!

I used to Hate Alan Davis... his Art didn't do it for me. But know it ages somehow like fine Wine.

best uncanny xmen, all goes downhill in the 2000s

The giant next to the Fred Flintstone is based off of Ed Brimly. Wow that brought back memories as that was a Saturday morning cartoon of the period staring a pointy-haired eccentric character who raves about his love of paprika.

Love this comic my aunt bought me this and it came with a wolverine action figure

I love how much characterization are in the Claremont issues. It's so cool how he has characters deal with past events that he himself put them through.

SPOILERS: I´ts a shame that the Creed´s plot ends in x-factor 130. All of the building of this story was made in x-men and uncanny x-men and it was intriguing, like a spy story in x-men! and this is an outstanding issue that make me belive that x-men stories were great again. But then, after the events of x-factor 130 everythig ends suddenly and there is no consecuence. I mean, yes of course the consecuense is Zero Tolerance, but what happen with cannonball? what happend with the reaction of the humans after what happens to creed? What about all the political drama. Fells like a opportunity wasted. Great video!

Fantastic art of course and Claremont on top form here. 8 team members in this era and it's hard to give each one some purposeful time within this story but he does well (64 pages helps) while lesser writers would probably struggle. I particularly like how the team is scattered through the nine worlds of Asgard showcasing the marvel version of Norse mythology for readers who might be unfamiliar with Thor. Good stuff and great review as always.

Your comments reharding the cover looking murky, I think apply to some of the interior art as well. Art Adams is one of the best, but the level of detail sometimes doesn't work with the size of the panels. I'd love to see this in an expanded size artist edition. This chapter of the X-Men's adventures in Asgard is my favorite. Anyone who didn't read New Mutants because "it's a comic about kids" missed out on some great stories.

Lobdell and Mad at the top of their game with these issues

What a COVER! JIM LEE brought the BIG SCREENS to COMICS! Great Feat!

I hate those bold black outlines. I also hated black and white manga books I just had no interest in them. I'm just locked into a spectrum of like John Byrne to Jim Lee. That being said Joe Maderara has a stunning quality that is equal to Jim Lee! It's like it looks like a simpler style but it's not. I had this book I love the cover. I love his work in the Phalanx-Covenant I love the storytelling here in the flow of the art with the story I love that there's some politics.. thoughtful storytelling here. Story and art are completely in sync. Issues like this one are what have kept me engaged, and kept me into reading comics, and supporting this industry.

This issue is so relevant to our current social and political landscape!

A Hulk review was a nice surprise. I was really into this Peter David run of the Hulk. Dale Keown's art was fantastic, as was Gary Frank's, who followed Keown. I was also reading Peter David's X-Factor run, but even so, this crossover seemed a bit too forced to me at the time. I think I would have preferred the story if it had been entirely a Hulk story, or entirely an X-Factor story.

I really like that interaction between Gambit and Iceman's dad. You mention there's some foreshadowing for the upcoming reveal of Gambit's secret, but I would have expected that to come out between Gambit and some other X-Man talking about Bobby's dad. There are some characters I struggle to imagine doing every day things and talking with every day people, Gambit being one of them. Having him have the conversation with the actual man makes Gambit feel like a more full character. Good job to Lobdell on that.

Love this channel,takes me back to my childhood

I always liked this version of Mad's Storm. Sam was given a big jump backwards when he joined the X-Men. While leading X-Force he was strong,smart,and learned new things about his power. He'd grown up. This was a great issue. I'm digging out my collection once I heal up. Great video!

Amazing work, different diverse faces indeed

I loved that damned gun though

those guys nailed the detail in the flashbacks, even the onomatopoeia "tok!" in that panel was exactly like in bws weapon x. luv these guys.

Was revisiting this video because I just re-read the issue, and noticed there were timestamps/chapters to this video, something I've not seen elsewhere on your channel. Was this a one-time thing? :P

I like these comics a lot, even if this is an unpopular opinion I guess. The weapon X miniseries is honestly more cohesive, but I still like the entertaining mess about Silver Fox, Maverick, etc

What’s with the smiley face on his boot

wild!

Thanks for this. I read this back in the day and still think it ranks as one of the great crossovers. Everyone always wanted to see the X-Men go up against Alpha Flight, but they kept it interesting here by having them team up and fight each other. They were true to pretty much all the characters, both X-Men and Alpha, even the more complex ones like Northstar who is one of the real good guys here. Loved that Puck used the classic Bob & Doug McKenzie line to tell Loki to beat it. As a ten year-old this complex, morally ambiguous story was both thought-provoking and entertaining, and it's really too bad that kids these days can't just go down to the 7-11 with 75 cents and pick something like this up.

I had this story in the Asgardian Wars trade paperback back in the early 90's. Along with the New Mutants special and annual 9 it was a great read containing fantastic art.

I did like the redesigned Spider-Man costume that Ben Reilly was wearing around this time :P (I think this was published the very same month they killed poor Ben off though!) I like how J. Jonah has been appearing in these issues of X-Men as a pretty great supporting character opposing Bastion and OZT.

Oh wow! Thanks Darr, I totally forgot about this issue. I love the Scarlet Spider,he should've stayed that way. Lol what happened to image inducers? Scott's been in Remy's closet. Very much Silvestriesk but good. This is when Havok was boosted by Dark Beast and got his own book. Did you ever read Mutant X,what did you think if you did? I'm still catching up on your videos after my hospital stay. Always great!

I had to trade paperback with an incredible cover by Jackson Guise. I know I spelled that last name wrong. I have a facsimile of this now which I'm thankful to get my hands on. Impactful storytelling at its finest. To me personally this is the standard by which other books should be measured... Story wise. It's quite brilliant...

I had and lost this book I hope to get my hands on it again... I didn't recall Spider-Man being in it. . I had the one with him and marrow on the cover. So I had stopped collecting after issue 300 basically... And have been jumping back on and off ever since... And withn the Xbooks and so many titles.. even now I buy back issues and I'm all over the place... But I care about storytelling and continuance. On the same token I like new incarnations of characters revamps... I'm happy to revisit this period I missed out on a lot of great storytelling. I'm happy for a lot of the great books I get my hands on today in the dollar bins.. and key books I can get my hands on. As I've stated before I love stories that involved the greater marvel universe, and the characters who inhabit it J Jonah Jameson.. more well-known now from the Spidey films. They definitely got him right in the films.. so much fun to have a little intrigue involving him in an X-book. He has journalistic integrity. It's also interesting now post speculator boom.. what image did and what marvel was doing.. what stuck ,and what came and went as a fad aesthetic wise. I love the cover of this book.. really pops! I love beefed up Cyclops.. it works for this time period.. it's less jarring now because you see actors in films do it all the time. Spider-Man in an X-book is always fun!

Great review as always! Intriguing storyline nice subplot... The Marauders hiring someone to kill mutants .. makes sense and is disturbing. Yeah I had part 2 of this book when it came out.. I didn't know what was going on because I didn't have this part. A villain with artistic sensibilities I love that.. I like Al Milgram's inks on Jim Lee's pencils. I love Castles all business mindset.. whether it's a human or a superhuman. My introduction to The punisher was the issue where he gets tangled with the Reavers over in Punisher(another rare occasion that has anything to do with the X-books. I like the stories here and there that shows he exists in the greater Marvel Universe. Wow Jim Lee can draw motorcycles better than I ever will. He was perfect for this series for his technical proficiency.

is this the Richard Bennet from Brass? Also, its incredible how Capullo was just a great artist from the beginning. Like, on the seventh day, God made capullo and he's been a constant ever since. Lucky BAARSTARD!!!!

So, I've always found it really weird that Rachel Summers' costume during this time was just a black leotard and legwarmers. It's like she was perpetually just getting out of an aerobics class.

Good art, i think i prefer the earlier Silvestri art on the title with his spotting of blacks, in contrast to the Jim Lee influence. I think its another aspect from Frazetta's art particularly his pen and ink work

Beautiful art

Do you know who chose this line-up? Was Peter David handed the team from editorial, or did he choose from available characters?

Excellent review. I had just returned from my local shop with Wolverine 45-49. Great timing
