First Strike – The Uncanny X-Men #270 – Danger Room #319

1. I remember in the early 90’s these X-tinction Agenda issues of Uncanny X-Men and New Mutants were $15 – $20 a piece in back-issue bins and mail-order catalogs. My friends and I couldn’t afford them so there was always a mystical quality about this particular event. We were able to read the X-Factor issues and spent untold calories imaging what we were missing.

   In retrospect, X-tinction Agenda lost some of its shine after I eventually read it. Honestly I think X-cutioner’s Song is a better ride – it’s bombastic and convoluted in the best possible way. But I might be getting too far ahead…

   With merely 10 issues remaining of the Claremont run, have you ever considered a retrospective episode? Maybe rank Claremont’s story arcs? Maybe rank the artists during the Claremont run? Solicit listener feedback, create a poll asking the these same questions – people respond well to that kind of stuff.

   And yes, Lost was a great show. Maybe the greatest of its era, ending and all. Jeremy definitely missed the boat (no pun intended) on that one.
