778. Uncanny X-Men vol 1 #208 ... #mutants ... #x-men ... #Phoenix ... #marvel ...

[This is reviewed and posted on 5th Feb 2018]

Okay. After the last review, we are not nasty enough to leave everyone hanging. So the most important thing is ... page 1 ... that awesome pic of Kitty Pryde is so, so, so good! Hahahaha! Seriously, let's go for the real thing:

Wolverine fucking stabbed Rachel ...

There ... so we see Rachel running around after being stabbed because of her awesome telekinetic powers ... she is obviously in pain and depressed and sad that Wolverine, a killer, would not allow her to kill Selene but rather kill her!

In the meantime, the rest of the X-Men go around with their bloody problems because they are still issues with the Mutant Massacre where the Morlocks are going to be murdered (next big arc) ... and as Rachel flees the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club has an emergency meeting because their home was invaded and trashed by the Phoenix ...

Sebastian Shaw permits the usual cannon fodder to join them as they go to hunt Rachel Phoenix ... and it is a good fight as we finally see more power sets from the Inner Circle including the fatty. Hahaha!

But the shocker of the day is when Nimrod, the Sentinel from another timeline come onboard. He was there a while back in 194 (if we are not mistaken) ... and he learnt a hard lesson about teamwork. So now that he is re-charged and repaired, he is ready for round 2. Will he terminate any X-Men? Only next issue will disclose!

This is the awesome bit about comics from back then - great storyline and shows us all the cliffhangers making us come back for the next issue and the next! Chris Claremont - we salute you!

Ratings: 8/10
