ONCE UPON A MUTANT – BUILDING THE OUTBACK TEAM: NEW MUTANTS ANNUAL #2, X-MEN ANNUAL #10, and UNCANNY X-MEN #213-219 (1986-87)

Jason R. Lady and The Irredeemable Shag find their joy celebrating a pivotal era of classic UNCANNY X-MEN as Chris Claremont turns the team’s status quo upside down and assembles a new team that will become the legendary Outback X-Men! The journey begins with Psylocke’s introduction to the mutant universe in NEW MUTANTS ANNUAL #2, followed by Longshot’s first encounter with the X-Men in X-MEN ANNUAL #10. From there, Psylocke earns her place on the team in UNCANNY X-MEN #213, while Dazzler joins the ranks in #214. Then, in UNCANNY X-MEN #217-218, these new additions begin to come together as a true team. Finally, Havok makes his long-awaited return to the X-Men in UNCANNY X-MEN #219. Featuring stories by Chris Claremont and stunning artwork from Alan Davis, Art Adams, Barry Windsor-Smith, Butch Guice, and Marc Silvestri!
