All three of us are back together to discuss the "guy's night out" story-arc. Cyclops has left the X-Men after Jean learned of his psychic affair. Wolverine beats Cyclops in a drinking contest, then drags him along on a raid on Weapon Plus and The World with Fantomex. We get an action-packed arc that plays to Chris Bachalo's artistic sensibilities but also gives us some great characterization, particularly of Scott, Logan, and their relationship. And also, some great commentary on The Authority and The Ultimates.

New X-Men #142 – Brimstone & Whiskey
