TikTok comedian Nikhil Clayton brings his Kenergy to the show as we recap no-adjective X-Men #8 from 1992. This iconic Jim Lee drawn issue features what is fondly known as the boysenberry pie incident. Bishop vs. Gambit vs. Rogue vs. a pie! The all-out Looney Tunes style of this issue is what we love about X-Men. The downtime issues between battles solidifies our love of the team. Find Nikhil on social media under @nikhilclayton.
X-Men #8 was published in May 1992. In that same month:
- The top film at the time: Lethal Weapon 3
- The top song at the time: “Jump Jump” by Kriss Kross
X-Men #8 was written by Jim Lee and Scott Lobdell and drawn by Jim Lee.
