Color me a little annoyed that these back up stories from the 1990s Marvel annuals never seem to be included in any of the collected editions or digital restorations online and I have to track down whatever discolored dark web version I can get my hands on. Some of these stories are good! I mean, they’re not all good … the second back up story in New Mutants Annual #7 is about Artie and Leech finding a new grandmother, so I’m not doing any posts on that one, but this first story is about Freedom Force attacking Iraq during Desert Storm! Also, color me a little surprised to see Avalanche here. Didn’t he get killed by the the Reavers?

These new writers just aren’t going to give a shit about the continuity, are they. Anyway, I wonder what goes on in this comic.

SWEET LOUISE SUPER SABRE JUST GOT FULL ON DECAPITATED. Look at his head laying there! I can’t believe that just happened! I can’t believe Cable and Rob Liefeld tried to do this a few issues ago and failed, and now it happens again for real!! Ladies and gentlemen, this seems too good to be true, but I think this backup story in an X-Men annual is actually about your favorite asshole super villain team getting horrifically murdered. I hope. I HOPE that’s what this comic is about. Because this is awesome.

I’ve never liked these old assholes, but I sure I do like seeing them get dismembered. Wow! Even Pyro gets it.

This came out of nowhere and was leagues was better than the main story in this annual! What a god damned masterpiece!! Bring on the next chapter! (New Mutants Annual #7 - 1991)
