Uncanny Book Club
Fifty years ago, Chris Claremont kicked off one of the most influential storytelling sagas in comics—turning characters like Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler into icons.
Uncanny Book Club is your bi weekly read-along through the most iconic X-Men stories—starting with Giant-Size X-Men, through The Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, and beyond.
Whether you’re revisiting these stories, are reading it for the first time like us, or just want to ride along for the discussion — we hope you’ll join us every other Wednesday.
