How Many X-Men Comics Were Released This Week? (11/21/12)

Since big numbers can be confusing to me (hey, I only have four hooves to count on!), I ask for the help of my good friend The Count from Sesame Street to help me out in finding How Many X-Men Comics Were Released This Week? Take it away, Count!


Panels from [Uncanny] X-Men Annual #6 (1982), script by Chris Claremont, pencils by Bill Sienkiewicz, inks by Bob Wiacek, colors by Glynis Wein, letters by Tom Orzechowski, re-dialoguing and re-lettering by Bully the Little Stuffed Bull

Whoops! As Buffy herself has so handily pointed out there off-screen, wrong Count. I've made another one of my silly mistakes. Still, big guy's got a point (or two), doesn't he? How Many X-Men Comics Were Released This Week? Why, there were...

• Astonishing X-Men #56: The aftermath to Northstar's wedding continues, interminably, but hey! Ice-Gambit is in this issue! What? He isn't? He's only on the cover? We demand Ice-Gambit get his own series!
• Ultimate Comics X-Men #15.1: Say that three times fast! And hey, this issue is apparently all about a staring contest. Say, what if™ those Point One issues had existed all through the history of Marvel? I bet FF #51 would have been #50.1. And that would be criminal.
• Uncanny X-Force #34: Hey, Wolverine is in this one! That's always a nice thing...
• Wolverine #316: ...because there's no such thing as too much Wolverine...
• Wolverine and the X-Men #21: ...at least, until you hit this Wolverine:

• X-Factor #247: The field has been narrowed down to the top ten! Who will fall by the wayside and who will be the #1 choice? Tune in Thursday at 8 PM, 7 PM Central on FOX to see Cher Lloyd perform and to find out which two acts head home. That's right, two heads are on the chopping block on Thanksgiving night! Join Simon, Britney and Demi as they...wait a minute. Wrong X-Factor. I've made another one of my silly mistakes. Boy, is my face red.

Next week: more X-Men comics? How many? Well, you'll just have to be here to find out, once again...How Many X-Men Comics Were Released This Week?
