Uncanny X-Men #245 (1989): Rob Liefeld run begins

And so it begins: Rob Liefeld becomes the series artist and the 1990s world of overmuscled men and over-skinny women starts.

Storywise, this issue focuses on the men of the team—since the women got screen time last issue with the introduction of Jubilee.  The guys fight some aliens.

Chewbacca and Darth Vader appear in a crowd shot.

I’ve read that this issue satirizes the D.C. event “Invasion,” but I never read that story so I can’t vouch.

It definitely reads like satire, though.

And…

…Perry, Jimmy, Clark and Lois definitely get a page.

It’s a fun issue, but I’m sad because I really don’t like 1990s comics and now I’m going to have to read them.

  1. Gambit has to be revealed as the real third Summer’s brother and Gabriel and Adam have to be revealed as fraternal twins Adam isn’t half Shiar he’s really Corsairs son and the son of Katherine Anne LeSean Summers.
