Writer and architect of the A.X.E. (Avengers/X-Men/Eternals) crossover event, Kieron Gillen, joins the pod to discuss his work on A.X.E., answer questions from Twitter, talk about Mister Sinister and recap Uncanny X-Men #209. Kieron selected a Nimrod issue as it’s one of the first issues he read as a child that made an impact on him. It’s an issue packed with the X-Men, The Hellfire Club, the Morlocks, The Body Shop, and more. It even has TWO character deaths! It’s an amazing bit of work by Chris Claremont and John Romita Jr.
Uncanny X-Men #209 published in September 1986. In that same month:
- The top films at the time: Stand by Me
- The top song at the time: “Stuck on You” by Huey and the News
- The first episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show airs
