In On Shelves Now:  Sword 1, Astonishing 31 and 32, Dark X-Men 1, Legacy 229, Uncanny 516 and 517, and New Mutants 7.

Then we go Inside the Mansion with the Marvel version of Santa Claus!!

In Retro Reviews, we look at X-Factor 17, New Mutants 51, NM Annual 3, and Uncanny 217.

And we finish up with Retro Reviews.

And we manage to sneak in 3 songs, a quiz, an argument about strippers, and one more surprise bombshell.

Plus cameos by EVERY SINGLE X-CAST CHARACTER EVER.  (We think)

With Brian seemingly free of the Legacy Virus, we finally get to reviewing Astonishing 29, Cable 10, the X-Men World's Apart mini, Legacy 220, X-Men Annual 2, and X-Factor 39.

We get a VERY special treat in Inside the Mansion as our mystery guest does his own Inside the Mansion, much to Brian's chagrin.

And we finish with an action packed Fastball Special with topics ranging from back hair to circumcision.
