Summary

In which Gambit is fundamentally goofy; t’ieves love research; Magneto was ripped; Professor Xavier remains a jerk; Miles attempts to convey something very fundamentally visual in an audio format; Marrow is adorable; the X-Men pretty much disband (again); and a miniseries is the opposite of a vacation.

X-PLAINED:

  • Where Wolverine went
  • Gambit Annual 1999
  • Uncanny X-Men #372
  • X-Men #92
  • A lot of backstory
  • A very cute plastic goose
  • What Gambit does in his free time
  • Those weird fluid-filled tubes they put people in all the time for some reason
  • Gambit’s abs
  • The fart ghost (Mary Purcell)
  • Manhattan, Indiana
  • A very minor continuity error
  • Fart ghost metaphysics
  • A very bad idea
  • A muppetworthy death
  • Dream’s various ends
  • X-pajamas
  • Professional dinosaurs
  • Thinkers
  • Theoretical Cyclops-Daredevil team-ups
  • X-characters recognizable as civilians
