X-Men Unlimited

But our major focus here is that Kandra, the external.

So we're really following up on like a lot of X-Men Unlimited storylines here, right?

Kandra, you're talking about Kandra from X-Men 97 from the pact.

Sure.

So the bulk of the action in these two issues takes place at, if you've ever been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you know they have this enormous open area at the end of their Egyptian gallery that is saved for the Temple of Dender, which is an actual archaeological dig that almost ended up on the Washington Mall, but thanks to some intervening by Jackie Onassis Kennedy actually ended up in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

And the two of them decide this is a great place to have a fight because Kendra not only wants the stone back, but also is brought along the supporting cast from that one issue.

I think it's number seven of X-Men Unlimited.

Yeah.

Tim, what's the name of that web series they did?

Um, uh, X-Men Unlimited?

Yes, X-Men Unlimited.

He shows up a little bit in there, and we haven't covered that.

Um, but Gorgon-

In Occupy Avengers number 9, don't worry about it, Hydra's taken over the world and we see Texas Twister fighting back with the Resistance in Texas.

And then we get our only X-Men appearance in X-Men Unlimited, the Infinity comic number 13.

This is Fabian Nicieza telling the big Juggernaut and D-Cell storyline.

Juggernaut, the character Quicksand and Primus attack a place where the Texas Twister is working security.

Yeah.

I think this is better than at five 76, the X-Men unlimited infinity comic unofficial X-Men, but I would put it below at five 74 and five 75.

We have uncanny two Oh six and uncanny one 51 to one 52.

I would put it below those two.

Um, This one may surprise people.

This has some wild stuff in it.

This is X-Men Unlimited Volume 1, number 36.

And I guess before we talk about it, we should comment on this Joe Chiodo cover.

I've trinkled with it.

Yeah, obviously they should bring back X-Men Unlimited and give-

Yes

... people who are new to writing cape comics, uh, w- you know, one-issue story ideas, which is one of the great things that Unlimited was for.

The key issues here are Captain America, 352 and 353.

3, Soviet Super Soldiers 1, Star Blast 1 through 3, Quasar number 60, Daredevil 369 and 370, and X-Men Unlimited number 28.

The assigned jury member here is Sean Perrette.

Darkstar, Vanguard, and Ursa Major teleport to Avengers Mansion while Captain America is doing training with Gladiatrix, Speedball, Blue Shield, and the Meccano Marauder.

In a really captivating trio of comics in Daredevil, a new Tsar of a Russian crime syndicate, General Tskarov, also called the Snow Wolf, captures Dark Star and uses her disappearance to make bad things happen as he manipulates Vanguard and Ursa Major while they're looking for her.

He tries to exploit her powers, but she ends up getting rescued.

Finally, in X-Men Unlimited, Darkstar was mentally manipulated into attacking the X-Men, but when Jean Grey freed her mind, Darkstar led the mutants back to Rebirth Island, where they met Black Death, or Ivan Kiverky, a mutant who could use the power of suggestion to control minds, who had been badly manipulated by the Russian government in a testing facility.

Let me turn it over to Sean.

They say, "Just how many comics are there?" And they say, "The simple answer is lots.

There's New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Extreme X-Men, X-Men Unlimited, Ultimate X-Men, X-Statix, Weapon X, Exiles, Soldier X, and Wolverine." So that is pretty wild.

And also Agent X as well at this time.

Yeah, uh, which they talk about later in the issue.

We had a whole interview with that creative team in the main magazine that we talked about.

Uh, Wolverine, same deal, that it's just this Frank Tieri and Sean Chen, uh, doing, doing some work with Wolverine.

X-Men Unlimited was the one that I said, ooh, I wanna go read that.

I haven't yet.
