    Jan 21 2026

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

    Episode 21 sees the return of Garokk the Petrified Man, who is defeated by his over-focus on his quest for vengeance against Storm. And intangibility. Issue 150 is a double and features the Master of Magnetism himself -- Magneto. The X-Men need to use their heads instead of their powers and we end up getting a major Magneto lore dump.
