Uncanny X-Men #185 is one of those issues that every longtime X-Men nerd knows, like Giant-Size X-Men #1 (the introduction of Nightcrawler, Colossus, Storm), or Uncanny X-Men #4 (the debut of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants), or The New Mutants #87 (the first appearance of Cable).

Director David Lynch and producer Mark Frost took the small town sitcom and the crime procedural and upended them, creating a fictional Pacific logging town sitting in the shadow of a malevolent supernatural force, and the residents who live under its sway. The show begins with the murder of high school student Laura Palmer and the arrival of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper, but also follows the interplay of relationships between all of the town’s other residents — other high school students, diner waitresses, lonely housewives, greedy timber barons — to create a realm that feels hyperreal even under the patina of heightened Lynchian unreality. You can almost taste the cherry pie.”,”photo-width”:1620,”photo-height”:1080,”photo-excerpt”:”ABC”}],”totalItems”:10,”credit”:”Emma

Marvel has a huge hit on its hands. But if it’s going to be around for a lot of seasons, it could have issues.n
Uncanny X-Men #185 is one of those issues that every longtime X-Men nerd knows, like Giant-Size X-Men #1 (the introduction of Nightcrawler, Colossus, Storm), or Uncanny X-Men #4 (the debut of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants), or The New Mutants #87 (the first appearance of Cable). In Uncanny #185, anti-mutant government stooge Henry Peter Gyrich tries to use a mutant-power neutralizer on Rogue, but accidentally zaps her teammate Storm instead. The neutralizer is totally effective; Storm loses her ability to manipulate weather, seemingly forever.”,”podInfo”:{“type”:”tag”,”name”:”p”,”attribs”:{“dangerouslySetInnerHTML”:{“__html”:”Uncanny X-Men #185 is one of those issues that every longtime X-Men nerd knows, like Giant-Size X-Men #1 (the introduction of Nightcrawler, Colossus, Storm), or Uncanny X-Men #4 (the debut of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants), or The New Mutants #87 (the first appearance of Cable).

Director David Lynch and producer Mark Frost took the small town sitcom and the crime procedural and upended them, creating a fictional Pacific logging town sitting in the shadow of a malevolent supernatural force, and the residents who live under its sway. The show begins with the murder of high school student Laura Palmer and the arrival of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper, but also follows the interplay of relationships between all of the town’s other residents — other high school students, diner waitresses, lonely housewives, greedy timber barons — to create a realm that feels hyperreal even under the patina of heightened Lynchian unreality. You can almost taste the cherry pie.”,”photo-width”:1620,”photo-height”:1080,”photo-excerpt”:”ABC”}],”totalItems”:10,”credit”:”Emma
