Hey, Remember When That Happened?: 2013

Hey, remember that time in 2013 when civilization had fallen, New York City had been nearly razed, and mutants were either exterminated or incarcerated in concentration camps?

You don't? Hmmm, me either. Well, year's not done yet. I imagine all the X-Men comic book will be canceled when that happens, though, so hang onto your collection for speculator purposes. Remember, according to some of the biggest mouths on the internet, everything increases in value when someone connected to it dies!

And nobody ever saw the X-Men, ever again.

Yeah; I'm saving my "Days of Future Past" post (well, beyond the Happy New Year gag) for December or January so as not to jinx things into terrible dystopicity... dystopitude... dystopicopia.. whatever.
