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

    Episode 27 almost completes our journey from the Brood Saga -- but we call it quits before hitting issue 166 so we can lump it in with 167.

    In this almost-conclusion, we see Carol's big transformation, the X-Men learning the truth, Kitty becoming injured, Storm going through some changes, and lots of drama.
