Merry X-Lapsed – Generation X #4 (1995)
Merry X-Lapsed! Day Five
Merry Christmas, friends!
Today we wrap up our little holiday vacation from the paradise that is Krakoa with… a Christmas story that isn’t! I mean, someone does eat a candy cane… and someone does wear a Santa hat… but, other than that – ain’t no Christmas to see here!
Today we take a look at one’a those “Feared and Hated”-focused stories that we get from time to time in our X-Reading… but, it’s a good one – right out of my own personal wheelhouse – written by Scott Lobdell and drawn by the amazing Chris Bachalo.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this “break” in our normal coverage… which will resume following the weekend. Thank you all for indulging me – To You and Yours, from Me and Mine – Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I've always loved this comic but on rereading it's really depressing for a Christmas story. I know Christmas can be a tough time but this issue is very sad. The art by Bachalo and Buckingham was absolutely stunning. Generation X was the best X-book whenever the original creative team was on it. Sadly it's a relatively short space of time.
