X-MEN 103: The balls of jack bauer

So this one is called THE FALL OF THE TOWER, even though its the whole castle that falls, so why not just call it that since it's as equally lame as what they chose? Beats the fucking shit out of me! Also the cover calls it DEATH SEIGE, which is way cooler than either of those fuckin names, so who fucking cares, shut up with the title already, christ!

Anyway, this is an all leprechaun issue, I guess because Claremont loves leprechauns and his worthless editor, Archie Goodwin, didn't think to stop him and say, "Hey Chris, you know how you have like, leprechauns in every panel of issue 103's script? How about instead of leprechauns you makes them literally anything else in the world because leprechauns are with out a doubt the god awful stupidest fucking thing you could possibly come up with."

Alas, such a conversation never transpired, or if it did, the sage advice of Mr Goodwin was blithely ignored by the arrogant young rouge author Chris Claremont.

But seriously, fuck this issue. I don't want to recap any off it because fuck these dumb shit leprechauns. The X-men beat Juggs and Black Tom and everyone is fine. Although I will point out that the only way the X-Men stop the Juggernaut is by throwing Black Tom into the ocean, which causes Juggernaut to leap into the ocean after him.

And the Eric the Red is teased a couple times as the mastermind behind the last few issues but explaining it would involve more leprechauns so fuck that noise.

Oh right, here is the cartoon.
