CLAREMONT'S BUDDY NEAL CONAN IS STILL BEING NAME DROPPED WHEN NPR NEWS IS USED AS A NARRATOR.
NOT TO BRAG OR NOTHING BUT I'VE BEEN TO THE FUCKIN PALAIS DE JUSTICE, WHERE THEY ARE HOLDING THE TRIAL FOR NO GOOD REASON WHATSOEVER. SO I'M A WORLD TRAVELER, NO BIG WHOOP.
THE X-BAGS AND NEWD MOOTANTS TELEPORT IN FROM ASGARD. IT'S A LONG STORY AND TAKES PLACE IN ANNUAL #9, WHICH I HAVENT REVIEWED YET. FUCKIN ASGARD MAN, SHIT.
XAVIER'S OLD F-BUDDY GABRIELLE HALLER IS A GOOD GUY AND SMOKES CIGS. THATS HOW THEY ROLLED IN THE 80'S I GUESS.
AND BEFORE THE TRIAL IS OVER, THERE'S A FIGHT!
COLOSSUS IS THROWN THROUGH THE STAIN GLASS WINDOW OF NOTRE DAME! ROGUE FLIES AROUND THE TIP OF THE EIFFEL TOWER! THESE ASSHOLES CALLED FENRIS BLOW UP THE PALACE OF JUSTICE! SO SUCK IT, PARIS!
SIR JAMES JASPERS IS AN ENORMOUS PRICK!
THE TRIAL NEVER ACTUALLY ENDS BUT THE X-FARTS SAVE THE DAY.
AND XAVIER ALMOST DIES SO HE HIS TELEPORTED BACK TO THE SHIAR EMPIRE (THOSE BIRD PEOPLE, AGAIN?) AND MAGENTBALLS MUST NOW LEAD THE NEWD MOOTANTS. CONGRATS ON YOUR PROMOTION, MAGNETBALLS.
NOW FOR THE MS PAINTZ!
I did an extra X-Men Annual 8 cover pic that I forgot to put in that post, so here it is!
Madelyne Prior got all fat. Probably from eating too many cookies. Chips Ahoy, fatty!
Nice look, Kitty.
Colossus has some thoughts on tanks!
This issue was a pretty big deal. It marks the end of Magneto's transformation from 2 dimensional crazy Silver Age bad guy to conflicted good guy with a questionable past and questionable motives. So much about him is questionable!Everyone is creaming over the latest X-Men movie, and how the mutant menace is a parable for discrimination, with Xavier and Magneto as allegories for MLK Jr and Malcolm X. Well guess what fuckers? It all started with Claremont. So pay your fucking respect, proper!
But whatever, nobody wants to recognize the comics. Because Hollywood is a stupid place full of assholes.
Also Fenris are revealed to be Baron Von Strucker's kids. Xavier and Magsie teamed up to fight the original Strucker (who was a Nazi, so more evil than the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants even) and here they are teaming up against their kids. So you see, they aren't so different after all.
Claremont also tried to introduce Sir James Jaspers, a crazy anti-mutant dickhead member of British Parliament, created by the legendary Alan Moore when he was scribing Captain Britain for Marvel UK back in the early 80's. But Jaspers never became a part of the Marvel Uni, at least not during Claremont's tenure. I forget why, some bullshit about copyright or something.
I think that's it. It was a long fucking issue, so I may have missed some stuff. But I'm done writing for now, so whatever.
Next issue, the first appearance of Cable! (no, really).
