    Join us for another episode of Uncanny Book Club and explore one of the most influential storytelling sagas in comic book history.

    Episode 25 discusses three issues that Adam describes as "fun" and "filler". First we see the X-Men infiltrate the Pentagon to try and erase the data the government has on them, but they have the misfortune to bump into Rogue and Mystique. In Issue 159 we see the team come face to face with Dracula. And finally issue 160 takes us on a trip to Limbo with the X-Men trying to rescue Peter's sister Illyana from the demon Belasco.
