Or, if you like Xmas.

And what does it mean when you have a word with X in near comics?

Yep, thats right the X-Men arent far behind.

This weeks column is a Christmas-themed review column of five X-MasX-Menissues, in chronological order.

The Christmas they correspond with is shown in brackets after the issue number.

Uncanny X-Men #98 (1975)Its Christmas, and the Sentinels attack!

Its standard stuff now, but at the time it actually felt quite original!

Its also the first time we learn that Wolverines claws are NOT part of his gloves.

Again, widely accepted now mind blowing at the time!
