Season 4, Episode 06 

January 24th 2023

Obviously the news of the upcoming X-Men 97 series has me and many others heading back to rewatch this classic series, and like many others I remembered just how amazing it was. In fact it was while making my way through it that I began to realise that while I love the films and other series, that this may in fact be the best adaptation of the X-Men.

X-Men will also be celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, and so I will be coming back to them, as they are a franchise I’ve beloved since I was a child.
