Temporada 7

Uncanny Treks: New X-Men Vol. 2- “Imperial” (2002, Comic)

The Shi'ar come calling. Bob and Matt continue Morrison's New X-Men with Imperial — Cassandra Nova hijacks Xavier's body and turns the Imperial Guard into her weapon, while a mysterious healer named Xorn joins the mansion staff. It's space opera as psychological horror, and the run's engine room. Matt's suspicious of Xorn; Bob claims he saw it coming. The Nova saga reaches its brutal peak.

Uncanny Treks: New X-Men Vol. 1- “E is for Extinction” (2002, Comic)

Grant Morrison's X-Men starts with a genocide. Bob and Matt begin the landmark run with E Is for Extinction — Cassandra Nova, Xavier's evil twin, annihilates 16 million mutants on Genosha in the opening arc, and nothing about the X-Men is safe afterward. New black-and-yellow uniforms, new students, new rules. Matt's bracing for the weirdness; Bob's already converted. The most important X-Men run of the century starts here.

Uncanny Treks: X-Men '97 S2E5 (2026, TV)

The punniest title of the season. Bob and Matt take on 'Weapon X, Lies, and Video Games' — the Soderbergh riff sets the tone, but the Weapon X business is dead serious, as the show digs into its darkest corner yet. Whatever the season's been building toward, this is the episode that sharpens it. Matt's already ranking it; Bob's still giggling at the title. Five episodes in, no misses yet.

Uncanny Treks: X-Men '97 S2E4 (2026, TV)

Apocalypse rises — part two. Bob and Matt break down 'Rise of Apocalypse Part 2,' as X-Men '97's Apocalypse two-parter reaches its climax and En Sabah Nur's endgame snaps into focus. The season's been building to this since the premiere, and the payoff is pure Saturday-morning maximalism. Matt's doing his Apocalypse voice; Bob's begging him to stop. The back half of the season starts here.

Uncanny Treks: Supergirl (2026, Film)

Bob went to the movies without Matt. The DCU's Supergirl has landed — Milly Alcock's Kara, Craig Gillespie directing, Jason Momoa chewing scenery as Lobo, all adapted from Tom King's Woman of Tomorrow — and Bob returns with a full spoiler report. Does the drunk, jaded Kara of the comics survive the blockbuster machine? Matt takes notes and nurses his FOMO. Spoiler-free zone in this description. (Okay, one: Lobo.)

Uncanny Treks: X-Men '97 S2E1-3 (2026, TV)

Season two is go. Bob and Matt dive into the first three X-Men '97 episodes — 'To Me, My X-Men' picks up the time-scattered pieces, then 'A Force to Be Reckoned With' goes full X-Force, with Cable recruiting Psylocke, Archangel, Jubilee, and Sunspot (the show even swaps its own intro to match). Add a collision with Havok's government-backed X-Factor and it's the most loaded premiere stretch yet. Matt's rewound the new intro five times; Bob's diagramming the timeline. The '90s are back.

Uncanny Treks: Spider-Man & Batman (1995 & 1997, Comic)

When Marvel met DC — twice. Bob and Matt revisit J.M. DeMatteis's two Batman/Spider-Man crossovers: 1995's Disordered Minds (Mark Bagley), teaming the heroes against Joker and Carnage, and 1997's New Age Dawning (Graham Nolan), with Ra's al Ghul blackmailing the Kingpin. It's the purest '90s crossover formula: heroes clash, villains team up, everybody learns something. Matt's here for the Bagley art; Bob's cataloging the continuity nods. Two publishers, one very crowded book.

Uncanny Treks: Spider-Man '94- The Return (2025, Comic)

Thirty years later, the cliffhanger gets its ending. Bob and Matt swing into Spider-Man '94, J.M. DeMatteis and Jim Towe's 2025 five-issue continuation of the beloved animated series — Peter and MJ reunited after the multiverse, with Morlun and Kaine debuting in this universe. DeMatteis wrote on the original show, and it shows: this plays like the lost sixth season. Matt's nostalgia is at maximum; Bob's just glad Kaine finally showed up. Break out the action figures.

Uncanny Treks: Supergirl- The Girl of No Tomorrow (2018, Comic)

The Emerald Empress wants Kara erased. Bob and Matt wrap Orlando's opening trilogy with The Girl of No Tomorrow — the Fatal Five's deadliest member rewriting history so Supergirl never existed, annual included. It's high-concept time villainy on a Rebirth budget. Matt's into the ambition; Bob's checking the continuity math. Act one of the Orlando era closes here.

Uncanny Treks: Supergirl- Escape from the Phantom Zone (2017, Comic)

Into the Zone. Bob and Matt continue Orlando's Supergirl with Escape from the Phantom Zone — Kara trapped in the Kryptonian prison dimension, where the inmates are the worst of the worst and the exits are purely theoretical. A Batgirl annual team-up pads the trade. It's the run's big swing at cosmic horror, and it mostly connects. Bob loves a prison break; Matt just wants Kara to catch a break. Next: the Emerald Empress.
