Episode 73

They loved the end of Utopia.

They talk to Matt Fraction again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 74

They unveil the new voice-mail, 765-NEFARIA.

They talk to Shaw about how he got Peter David to call.

Rob can't stand comic binding. He wonders why you would damage your books and thinks it looks crappy.

Rob mentions how they're closer to a tablet where you can read comics on it.

Rob passes on Cable #18. He was fine with it until the Brood popped up. When they did, he was turned off. He wants a resolution to this storyline. Brian likes the Brood, and how Bishop was prepared to sacrifice himself.

Rob on Cable's/Hope's storyline ending: "At least we know what's coming. Maybe. It won't even happen in this book..."

They're tired of being spoiled by solicitations. Brian makes the show a no-solicitation zone.

The List: X-Men leads to discussion from Rob about Emma. He thinks she doesn't have to really stay in diamond form, and is only doing it so she doesn't have to deal with Scott. Brian bets against this.

In X-Men Legacy Annual #1, Rob is excited to see Anole taken hostage by Emplate. Then it's pointed out that it's Roxxy, and not Anole. Rob then passes on this book.

They enjoyed Dark X-Men, the Confession, but wish it had been featured in the crossover. Still they understand why it wasn't, and Brian calls it "really cool".

Not only did Rob finally put New Mutants #5 as a buy, but it was his book of the week. Brian's not a fan of Sunspot as comic relief, but Rob thinks it has to be that way, with everyone else being so serious. They loved the Warlock stuff, and the fact that the book deals with the Aftermath of the Legion story, but sets up the next arc.

Rob bets the New Mutants are going to visit Asgard soon.

In the Top 5 New Mutants covers, Rob chooses #64 as his number two. It's hilarious as Brian reacts in disgust.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Episode 75

Rob hosts Inside the Panel, with Brian, Ron Richards, Lene Taylor, and Louis Kwok.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Episode 76

They don't like the news that Kyle and Yost are off X-Force soon.

They think the Hope thing is coming to an end soon with the end of Cable and news of Second Coming.


Rob mistakes news of Millar's Nemesis as a continuation of Old Man Logan. Brian thinks Rob is misinformed and full of crap.

Brian is excited to have downloaded a Cherry Poptart issue with the story, "The Uncanny Sex-Men".

They review a massive ten issues in On Shelves Now. Rob actually has 6 buys.

With Dark Wolverine #77, Rob likes the inner workings of the Dark Avengers and thinks they are great characters.

They find Old Man Logan Finale to have a lackluster ending.

They love X-Force #19-20. Rob feels that, in a good way, every issue is the same: fantastic.

Brian feels cheated due to solicits a bit at the end of #20, with Doug Ramsey being shown.

Rob thought the Necrosha One-Shot was "awesome beyond belief." Brian greatly enjoyed it as well. They loved getting inside Doug Ramsey's head, with the binary code. Brian notes that it's interesting that he, as well as the Hellions, has been aged up.

In New Mutants #6, Rob had high praise.

Rob: "I am beyond on board wit New Mutants."

Rob thinks this is probably the best Cypher issue ever. Both hosts are glad to see Cypher powered up, as he should have been years ago. They both think Doug and a few other mutants will remain alive after Necrosha. Possibly Banshee.

They have a Top 5 X-Men they want back from the dead, with Count Nefaria.

In the Retros, Rob states he likes Artie Maddox and Leech, to the disbelief of Brian. He also thought Angel was faking his own death rather than attempting suicide.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 77

They talk to Chris Claremont.

I just didn't understand why the beeps were there.

It's from Around the Horn. When someone says something interesting or makes a good point they get a point on the show which is that beep noise.

Yeah I liked it too. I was one of the few who defended it. But if you have never watched the show, I could see how that was weird.

Episode 78

Brian says he's always tempted to do a Mad Dog intro. This reminds me of how much I miss him from WFAN radio.

Rob on Witchblade: "This is the dumbest crap I've ever read."

In On Shelves Now, Brian has 7 passes, and Rob has five.

Rob didn't bother to read Dark Reign: Wolverine: The List. Brian said it sucked.

Of course, the loved X-Force #21, which continues Necrosha.

David G. sent Brian issues of X-Force signed by Kyle and Yost. Since Rob didn't send his address, he gets nothing. Brian gloating is hilarious. This is one of the exchanges I remember from years ago.

They like Banshee being back, even if he's under control. They don't comment on the best thing they mad on if he would return or not, making me wonder if they forgot about it.

Brian loves all of the attention Doug Ramsey has been getting.
Rob: "This is like your X-Men wet dram come true."

Weapon X #5-6 was a borrow from both. They agree it was a useless Wolverine story. But they did find the mad doctor interesting.

They say they are done with Dark Wolverine (#78-79).

With Legacy #228,Brian just could not care about Emplate. Rob thinks Mike Carey's just biding his time until the Hope stuff plays out.

They felt X-Factor #50 had stupid resolutions. They dislike Layla Miller's power being revealed to raise the dead, and not to "know stuff". Brian feels like it makes her less interesting.

They agree that they're done with both Wolverine titles.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Episode 79

We open with the Twelve days of Christmas, Uncanny X-Cast-style.

We get an image of Linguini, which they used as the album art. (Cant find the full image)
[img]
http://www.uncannyxcast.com/storage/Lin ... 1676109202" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;[/img]

They hated S.W.O.R.D. #1. Brian doesn't like smart Lockheed.

Brian: "Is this ongoing?"
Rob: "Not for us!"

(I only bought the series because Death's Head was in it. I love that Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, yes?)

They actually liked some of the stuff in Astonishing #32, but there's too much derivative stuff. (Flesh sentinels, dead mutants coming back)

They don't care for Dark X-Men #1.

Rob: "Paul Cornell's a good writer, but they keep giving him the dregs."

They like Uncanny #516-517. Rob thinks the books are fun and Land's art is still great. He doesn't understand why the book is getting killed on the forums.

They love New Mutants #7. Rob thinks it's the best Doug Ramsey's ever been.

"Stan Lee" sings a Marvel version of Adam Sandler's Hanukkah Song.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Episode 80

They interview Larry Welz, creator of Cherry Poptart.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Episode 81


They didn't like the end of the Emplate arc in Legacy #231. They feel Carey phoned this story in.

They disagree on Necrosha: The Gathering, with Brian feeling it's Kyle and Yost's first misfire and useless, and Rob feeling it added more to Necrosha and is awesome.

They hated X-Force Annual #1, and fear this is what X-Force is going to be without Kyle and Yost at the helm.

They disagree of X-Factor #200. Rob calls it a "Crest toothpaste comic" with the Fantastic Four kids. Brian calls Rob "jaded", and thinks it's cool that X-Factor are detectives for the Marvel Universe. Rob just wants the book to die. Rob thinks Brian will agree with him in two weeks.

New Mutants #8 was a bit of a step back, and has them worried. Rob wished the Doug Ramsey thing was stretched out a bit more.

Necrosha continues to be awesome in X-Force #22.

In Legacy #231, they love the Blindfold-Destiny stuff. They also like the return of Proteus.

Rob thinks there will be a new Excalibur comic.

With Cable #21, they both like Hope, but are sick of the same story, and tired of Cable letting Bishop go. They feel it's not much of an improvement, moving from the deep future to the past.

They do their Year-End Awards. Cypher and Hope get props. Layla Miller and Xavier get dumped on.

Matt Fraction is writer of the year for both hosts. Brian feels he's advanced the story of the X-Men the most.

Issue of the Year: X-Necrosha one-shot for Rob, X-Infernus #1 for Brian.

Worst Ongoing: X-Factor for Rob, Young X-Men for Brian, only because he didn't want to pick X-Factor. He admits it hasn't been that great this year.

Best moment for both: Cypher versus the New Mutants.

They cover the infamous X-Men Annual #11, where Wolverine regenerates from a single blood drop die to some crystal.

And thus I feel like the thread has almost come full circle, as that incident was mentioned explicitly a few times in the first episodes.

Oh yeah, Chaos War. That was a thing that happened. And no one ever talks about ever.

Episode 82

Rob thinks digital comics should be 99 cents. Brian agrees.

Rob tried All-Star Superman. "This is the biggest pile of steaming shit I've ever read." Brian didn't like it either.

For X-Men Forever #12-14, they do a Destiny's Diary. (Perhaps the first time that is mentioned?) Rob thinks it's headed towards a Beast-Jean Grey-Cyclops love triangle, while Brian things Cyclops is fully out of that picture.

They're still enjoying this book, but agree its newness has worn off. Brian admits it's a bit useless.

in Uncanny #518-519, they didn't care for how the Void subplot ended, but liked Cyclops being the hero, as well as Magneto's presence.

Rob actually considered X-Factor: Nation X a buy. "This is the best Peter David we've read in two years." Brian couldn't stand it.

With Cable #22, they feel the book has run it's course, and are glad to see an end in sight.

With Legacy #232, they feel Mike Carey's back. Rob is surprised that they used Proteus well.

In "Top 5 characters who need a break", Nightcrawler is Brian's #5. Cable is his #2. He'll get his wish soon enough.

Emma Frost is Rob's #1. He admits he was put off when she didn't turn evil.

Daken is Brian's number 1, but both agree he'll be around for awhile.

It seems they're actually grading retros now.

They finish off with a spouseball special.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Episode83


This is the Louise Simonson interview.

They talk about Power Pack and Doug Ramsey's death. Louise actually consoles Brian.

Rob thinks it's their best interview yet. (This is my favorite interview.)4

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Episode 84


We get some funny X-Men Creator role-play.

"Greg Land" is sponsored by bright white teeth.

In New Mutants #54, we reach the end of the Chris Claremont New Mutants era.
