In the middle of X-Men #8, Beast quit the team... and at that exact moment, the five original X-Men were pulled forward in time by the adult Beast. They met the adult versions of themselves and faced a complicated world full of tragedy, trauma, and pain. And then, they original five chose to stay in the future... for months. During that time, they formed new relationships, gained entirely new powers, and even died and came back to life before finally, finally returning back to the past with their memories of their future adventures erased from their brains. Cyclops becomes a space pirate! Jean Grey confronts the Phoenix Force! Iceman gets knocked out of the closet! Beast becomes a magic user! And Angel dates Wolverine! (No, really). In this special episode of Graymalkin Lane, host Chad Anderson summarizes over 100 comic books from 2012-2015, talking about all of the craziness the X-Men went through before they went back to the past. Next week we return to our usual format, but for this week, take a deep dive into Marvel continuity and have your mind blown when you stack up everything that happened to these characters during the course of X-Men #8.
