X-Men Annual 11: Sloshed in the Hoosgow

What we learn this issue besides that Wolverine get sozzled in the clink. 

 THAT'S A VERY STORM MOVE OF YOU WOLVERINE.

YEAH I THINK THAT'S WORST PANEL I'VE EVER DONE. WHATEVER.

BUT THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE RADDEST PANEL EVER. NOT BECAUSE OF ME BUT WHO CARES IT IS THE TITS.

Alan Davis drew the hell out of this annual but nothing of consequence happens and at the end everything is sitcommed back to the status quo. Something to do with some lion manned omnipotent weirdo named Horde, for whatever reason I cannot discern. I think he may be someone from the Captain Britain properties created by Alan Moore and Alan Davis for Marvel UK that Claremont was slowly attempting to import into his X-Pals storyline and the greater Marvel Universe, the backstory to which, and why that plan was ultimately aborted, is pretty fascinating. LOOK IT UP WITH THE GOOGLES WHY DONT YOU.

But anyway, the X-Wads and Captain Britain and some blonde piece named Meggan go to some crystal palace and get some wish fulfillment that turns out to be the ultimate nightmare like from some Twilight Zone/Evil Genie story and it looks like they're all bufu'd in the bu until one drop of Wolverine's blood somehow saves the day. And everyone high fives and the credits roll.

This issue is mostly notable for Wolverine boss Bud Heavy chugging. Also I wanted to half ass this and get it over with so I could finish up all the issues that appear in the X-Men Essential Volume 7. Shit, that's some pretty good progress.

Also, I won't be doing X-Men vs The Fantastic Four limited series. It was written by Claremont but it pretty much sucked. Doom helps Kitty Pryde recover after turning into a ghost during the Mutant Massacre. There were also some fighting. The end.

OK GREAT, WE'RE REALLY COOKING WITH GAS NOW.
