Join us for the inaugural episode of Uncanny Book Club and explore one of the most influential storytelling sagas in comic book history.

Please note — due to some minor audio issues we decided to upload episode 1 and 2 at the same time. If episode 1’s issues are too bothersome, we hope you’ll give a future episode a go.

In episode 1 of the show we’ll be covering Giant Size X-Men #1 through X-Men #95. In this episode we discuss the formation of a new team of mutants (Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird), their rescue of the old squad from the island of Krakoa, their mission to stop Count Nefaria, and their first major loss.

Uncanny Book Club is a biweekly read-along through Chris Claremont’s 16-year long X-Men run, which includes some of the most iconic X-Men stories.

Whether you’re revisiting these stories, are reading it for the first time like us, or just want to ride along for the discussion — we hope you’ll join us every other Wednesday. Have feedback or questions for the show? Email [email protected].
