Let's Take a Look at the Walgreens Exclusive Marvel Legends Mystique

A Solution for Age of X-Man Continuity Problems in Spider-Man/Deadpool #47
You know how it goes. In the case of Dani Moonstar, appearing in both Prisoner X and Uncanny X-Men, comics taking place in different universes, Matthew Rosenberg (who we remind you has quit Twitter) goes on Twitter and tries to play it up as a purposeful choice… So a couple (hundred) of you have pointed out that Dani Moonstar[...]
Leah Williams Has Reinvented The Blob in Age of X-Man: X-Tremists
That's no longer the case, at least in this alternate universe mutant "utopia," where Blob is as friendly as a former member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants can possibly be while on a team of X-Men tasked with enforcing the repressive rules of the sex-hating Nate Grey. Asked by redditor mortalfinlay: Since Blob has gone from[...]
Rob Liefeld's Major X Has Adamantium Sword, Can Kick Wolverine's Butt

Wolverine Proves He's the Worst There Is in Next Week's Uncanny X-Men #13
Back during the Schism, the beginning of Marvel's attempts to assassinate the character of Cyclops, Wolverine gave Cyclops a lot of crap about putting kids in danger… but after the events of Uncanny X-Men #12, Wolverine apparently can't even keep track of the multi-eyed mutant girl the X-Men rescued from O.N.E.: You think?! Maybe you should[...]
Faith in U.S. Leadership Demonstrably Bolstered by Uncanny X-Men Relaunch
leadership and a decline in disapproval, a change which we can only conclude is inextricably linked to Marvel's relaunch of the legendary comic book series, Uncanny X-Men. Think about it U.S approval ratings were near a ten-year high when Uncanny X-Men Volume 4 was being published in 2016, but things fell apart when the series was[...]

The Amazing Nightcrawler Becomes a Father (and a Criminal) in May
Any kind of love, physical or emotional, is banned, punishable by mind-wiping or imprisonment, in the supposed "utopia."

On the bright side though, he'll only have one[...]
