It’s another edition of our Epic X-Men (Re)Read, where Tyler and I re-explore the classic Claremont material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!

In this episode we discuss the first truly massive development in Claremont’s run – the death and rebirth of Jean Gray in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #100-101, as well as a pair of stories he inserts around that in back-ups from Classic X-Men (1986) #8-9.

Our conversation includes some minor spoilers for House of X and Powers of X!

If you want us to continue this series in the long term, we need to keep hearing that you’re watching and reading along. We’ve shot a complete “pilot season” to get us to the M’kraan Crystal and back, but whether we return for the introduction of Wolverine’s Canadian backstory in UX #109 is up to you.

And, of course, you can follow the full X-Men Reading Order for yourself if you’d like to get ahead of us.
