472 – Leave Room for Magneto (The Twelve, Part Two)

Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men

In which the Twelve should really be twelve chapters long; Archangel has issues; we continue to bemoan the absence of captions; the X-Men ditch their crossover event for a side quest; Magneto is Genosha’s official chaperone; and we would absolutely elect Emma Frost to a school board.

X-PLAINED:

• What Cable does next
• The event so far
• Wolverine #146-147
• Uncanny X-Men Annual 1999
• Whether the Shadow King is moist
• Why tiny cavemen can’t have nice things
• Numerous flashbacks and allusions
• Archangel’s third-stage evolution
• The Philharmonic Gets Dressed
• Abraham Kieros (again)
• Apocalypse as a self-help guru
• Fully nude Wolverine
• X-51 #8 (briefly)
• Fabian Cortez (more) (again)
• A miracle of magnetism
• Scomp linking
• A big fancy machine
• Exodus (more) (again)
• Mutants we’d like to see in public office
• The (theoretical) Essex administration
