Our posts at the Uncanny X-Cerpts Patreon this month were all about thrilling -- and dangerous -- new sensations.
In X-Treme X-Men #6, Rogue and Gambit are investigating the mysterious death for which Remy's been framed when they fall into the hands of the sinister Examiner, a 100-year-old Chinese interrogator who tortures in a very unique -- and vey Claremontian way -- by overloading his subjects with pleasure, and then taking it away. Will that cause Rogue and Gambit to reveal they are, in fact, the killers he seeks? Plus, who are the Cameron siblings and how do they figure into the proceedings?
Next, we covered Storm & Illyana: Magik #3 & 4. As Illyana's powers grow, so does her embrace of the dark lord Belasco. Will she embrace her demonic side, and perhaps even replace him? If you've read New Mutants, you can probably guess the answer, but the devil is in the details, isn't it?
Lastly, we looked at Uncanny X-Men Annual 2001, which sees Joe Casey's squad investigating the supplier of a new mutant drug giving teens powers and possibly killing them, all rendered in the ethereal, discombobulating artwork of Ashley Wood. It's an intriguing proposition to be sure!

And I'd be remiss if I didn't note the launch of the new Cerebro Tier. Your membership gets you a chance to commission post every month, subject to availability. I would love to bring you more of the random bits of X-history you want me to cover!
