Uncanny xmen 236. Silvestri and Green bring their considerable talents as always

[@patfrat666]

I was in H.S. when these were coming out. Such good, vibrant times. 2 comic stores in downtown Cleveland, (near my H.S.) 2 near my house on the East side, 3 near where my cousins lived in Parma, OH. Comics were jammin' back then, different from today.

These guys were a dream team back then, totally made you wanna draw.

Those covers rock, the men knew what they were doing.

It was Uncanny X-Men 247 that started my reading on comic books. Reading them with the radio music during the late 1980s. R&Bs and Latin Freestyle. Started finding back issues that lead to older Mark Silvestri's at 7-11 Liquor Store. Plus I constantly started to experience frightening Lucid Dreams. Comic books, especially Uncanny X-Men then later Amazing Spider-Man help me hone in on dream skills. I was 15 yrs old during 1989

For me it was the 20th anniversary of Marvel issue. The one with I think Wolverine on the cover. The border was ALL of the Marvel roster

Roma is the character that made the X-Men invisible to surveillance and electronics at the end of Fall of the Mutants.

What a great time for comics . I was buying dozens of titles marvel and DC during this era.

[@dragonfub]

Damn.. I got the same feeling, some those covers pops up as a memory I forgot that I have. But I would not be able to tell anything about the stories.. Looking forward to your videos about them! Probably most 248 "Havok killing Storm" and 275 the water damaged one

[@MrDman21]

Collect those comics for the ads alone. Those ads are ridiculous 😆

[@FatalJay]

Marc is in my top 3

Silvestri was one of my FAVORITE Illustrators!!! LOVE his work!!! I still have all of these issues! Except (236, 254, 255 and 262) You're right, Jim Lee's three issue run with Wolvie and Psylocke was CRAZY good!!

[@scottruhl4710]

My favorite X-Men era after the classic Byrne run.

[@scottruhl4710]

At the end of Fall of the Mutants Roma made the X-Men invisible to all tech. The X-Men were believed to be dead after saving the world from the Adversary and this would help convince the world by keeping them unseen. It was all mystical stuff. Roma is a Captain Britain character. She's the one that gave them the Siege Perilous to use if they ever wanted to reset their lives and give up being heroes. After stepping through it it undone the invisible tech spell. Except Wolverine who never stepped through it (nor did Longshot), both should still be invisible but I think it was a thread lost along the way.

Since Rogue has that white streak, I think her hair is supposed to resemble a skunk or a badger 🦡 but this comic came out in the late 80s. Could just be a stylistic thing.

[@lisaroberts8556]

I think she has a natural White Streaked Color to her Hair. Like Animals in nature. That have a Toxic or Parasitic effect on Prey. They display certain natural color patterns. Rogue’s hair display that same threat warning ⛔️ A Mutant Adaptation of her Powers

[@smikeye]

Claremont isn't immune to the hack writer thing of "what do I do with women characters? I guess I'll have them S A'd or R'd" because they can't think of anything else worse that could happen to a woman character, so they just keep going to that well. I don't know if it's still marvel canon, but Kate Bishop's origin being that basically killed Young Avengers for me when it was releasing new.

Good comicbook review Rob

[@DanielMoler777]

Man I saw when those landed. I went to claim, and then saw that YOU claimed all the ones I wanted lol

[@MrDman21]

Gene Gineer, sounds like a 60s lounge singer 😄

[@jamesmoss3424]

I got The Uncanny X-men #236.😀👍

[@markriedel7760]

So, for me, this was a guy three or so years older than me. I bought about 60 issues or Uncanny X-Men (issues going back to the early 200s) from him for about 50 bucks. He was a older teen looking to chase girls. I remember going in his room to make the transaction and there was a bunch of T&A posters on his wall lol. I then filled in gaps at this local comic con they had each month (got first Gambit and first Jubilee for 20 bucks each). Chris loved his sub plots. I will mention, X-Men dead/wiped from tech... part of it was the IP was so popular, but I do think Chris may have just wanted to try to curve all the guest spots X-Men could/would make in c-list Marvel titles. I'm not sure if its true, but that's always been my assumption.
