Free on Ko-Fi: Christmas With the X-Men!

Every year at Christmas, I post a thread of X-Men Christmas stories on social media.

This year, I got to thinking... if these stories represent a full year in the life of the X-Men, how long have they been out there defending a world that hates and fears them? And what does each year look like for our favourite homo superiors?

The result is a nice long post on my Ko-Fi, which I am making available to you for Free! You can check it out here.

And it happens to inspire you to drop a few bucks in the tip jar there, so much the merrier, right?

Happy Holidays!

Holiday Slowdown 2025



Ahoy X-Fans!

With the holiday season upon us and the Alan Davis run almost in the rear view, now is as good of a time as any to dial back my work on Uncanny X-Cerpts so that I can get some rest and think about other things.

We'll have posts on the next two Mondays, and then come back strong on January 5 with X-Men #100 and the big return of Chris Claremont to the franchise. Will it be as much of a roaring success as his original run? I think we're all excited to find out!

Season's Greetings to all of you until then,

- Scotto

Summer Vacation 2025

 


Greetings X-Fans, hope this message finds you well!

We've been working hard this summer and it's time again for a bit of a break. I'm going to slow down in August and savor the rest of the dog days of summer as we head toward the big Hunt for Xavier storyline.

Get out there and enjoy the weather while it lasts, or otherwise stay cool, and we'll see you soon!

X-MEN #80: Children of the Atom Part Two


The X-Men race to stop the launch of the Benassi Rocket, but how will they fare against -- the X-Men??!

I recently thought I would be bringing back the UNCANNY X-CERPTS Patreon. I was wrong.

We all make mistakes.

I can never seem to give up the idea that there should be more for me to do than UNCANNY X-CERPTS. I'm so happy to give you 1 or 2 posts every week that I want to give you more of it. And, in fairness to me, I think there should be a buck in it if I did. Not even a "good" buck, just a buck or two.

I recently made the conscious decision to leave my place of employment and figured, while I look for something else to do, I could use some free time to build this site up and reintroduce the Patreon page. It's by far the thing in life that gives me the most joy (besides my wife and our dog) and people are always saying that's what you should pursue in life. But between doing all the things I have to do to be a person, and also trying to find that elusive next job, I actually don't have that much free time.

That's a stone cold bummer. I really thought I could consistently square away a few extra hours every day to write, but that hasn't been the way things have panned out. Despite getting a bit of a bead on it and having some ideas that I was quite enamored of, I was very premature in announcing that project. In any case, there's simply no way for me to pull off the amount of work you have to do to make people want to support you on Patreon.

One of the posts I had lined up was a review of the new Giant-Size X-Men starring Ms. Marvel, which is now available on the long-dormant X-Cerpts Unlimited site. You'll see what would have been the first, now probably only, edition of "Twenty-Something Pages" there too, in a week or so.

I know there aren't that many of you reading this, but I know there are a few of you. And I thank you for visiting and enjoying what I write.

If you have a chance, I would love it if you would occasionally toss a few bucks in the tip jar at Ko-Fi. Donors get access to special posts -- which practically nobody has seen -- which I make no promise of regularity, but a one-time payment of any size gets you full access for a month, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Thanks, and enjoy your weekend!
