I'm sure this will end well for everyone, especially every narratively-unimportant mutant...

151 - X-Men (vol. 3) #29 (5/30/2012)
Thoughts on Bald Colossus?
Cover by Will Conrad. Interiors by Victor Gischler & Conrad.
Remember when Xorn was Magneto but also Xorn and not Magneto and then there was another Xorn?
Well, now that Xorn is in Marvel Snap, I try to make sense of it all in the latest Snap Into Marvel column!

Card 136: The Origin of Wolverine
New category: Unsolved Mysteries of the Marvel Universe! Most of which come from the early 90s!
Honestly, it's a cool idea for a subset of cards.
150 - X-Men Annual #14 (5/29/1990)
The last Art Adams (and Chris Claremont, for that matter) annual & the actual first appearance of a certain Ragin' Cajun named Gambit!
Cover by Art Adams. Interiors by Chris Claremont & Adams.
The full Marvel Universe Series 4 #MarvelUK page, featuring characters we all love and definitely remember!
The full page also makes it clear this group is posing in and around Stonehenge.
Cable meets his (psychically-resurrected by his horny alternate reality counterpart) mom for the first time in Cable #44, in the pleasantly low-key beginning of James Robinson's run on the book. #Xmen #Cable #Xaminations

Card 134: Death's Head II
Doctor Necker strikes again, with Death's Head's toothier, presumably thrashier, brother!
149 - Uncanny Avengers #20 (5/28/2014)
Sunfire! And Kang-fueled time-travel shenanigans!
Cover by Daniel Acuna. Interiors by Rick Remender & Acuna.
Card 134: Death's Head II
Oh hey, it's the Marvel UK character probably recognizable to the most people!
Remember when "2020" felt like a far distant future year? Good times. 🫠
Before this week's X-books drop tomorrow, check out my thoughts on last week's #Xmen releases, including Spider-Man & Wolverine getting in each other's heads and the charmingly-retro construction of the doomed Weapon X-Men! #XSpoilers

From the Secret Wars rehashing of past events.

Card 133: Die-Cut
Was this guy on a team with Foil-Embossed and Hologram called the Cover Gimmicks?

147 - Infinity War #2 (5/25/1992)
It may be diminishing returns from Infinity Gauntlet, but #InfinityWar was my intro to the Starlin Infinity trilogy, so I carry a torch for it.
Cover by Ron Lim. Interiors by Jim Starlin & Lim.
Card 132: Wild Thing
Wild Thing was apparently once a "cyberspace addict" aka all of us today.
Too bad they don't mention the time Wild Thing helped Cleveland get into the ALCS...
146 - Extraordinary X-Men #10 (5/25/2016)
Not the franchise's finest era by any means, but the Ramos art was nice, at least.
Cover by Humberto Ramos. Interiors by Jeff Lemire & Ramos.

Card 131: Dark Angel
The character whose original name invited the litigious ire of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang!
145 - Classic X-Men #25 (5/24/1988)
Reprinting the issue in which Banshee loses his powers.
Cover by Kerry Gammill. Interiors by Chris Claremont & John Byrne
