And now a rambling and too brief review of the iconic "X-Men: Days of Future Past" by Chris Claremont & John Byrne, still one of the greatest story in the series.

Chris, James, and James explore some post-apocalyptic landscapes imagined in the earliest of the 1980s. They find anxieties over computers and robots, blown-out-of-proportion fears regarding oil shortages, and the ever-present threat of the rampaging homosexual gang.
