In which sky pirates are the best pirates; Wolverine eats chicken in the woods; Xavier’s area loses its status as our least favorite panel; Cable is suspiciously credulous; we search in vain for a consistent metaphor; Storm has a thing or two to learn about restorative justice; and this entire miniseries should probably just have been an annual.

X-PLAINED:

• Storm’s pirate adventures
• Storm #1-4
• Mark Trail
• The Morlocks (more) (again)
• Unacceptable gradients
• Butt murder
• Fashion
• Several memes of yesteryear
• Product placement
• The new Worst Panel
• Several variations on the Ceremony of Light
• How not to identify a body
• The Hill (Limbo)
• “Daddy”
• The inconsistent portrayals of Mikhail Rasputin
• Still more members of Gene Nation
• A new costume
• The most obscure stories we’ve covered
• That time Wolverine at his own arm
