Jay Edidin: I really really really want to start collecting weird x-men children's books, because the ones I have seen are absolutely batshit. (FUN FACT! THERE IS AN EARLY READERS ADAPTATION OF DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. THE COMIC.)

World of Reading: God Loves, Man Kills: Level 3

Are those the ones with the illustrations where they have their 90s costumes? I only read Giant-sized X-Men and The Brood Saga. THE BROOD SAGA.

oh my gd I need to find that IMMEDIATELY

Found them. Randomhouse Bullseye books. Second Genesis, Brood Saga, and Days of Future Past.

Part of me is surprised you aren't already, not like it's your fault, but...that feels like what everybody would send you for a baby shower.

i would never ever give most of the ones i've seen to an actual child

I didn't say send your _kid_ for a baby shower.

I will not be satisfied until we see the Little Golden X-Tinction Agenda

Operation Lil Tolerance.

.....do you think in the Marvel Universe, the book is called GOODNIGHT, ATTILAN?

GOODNIGHT, BLUE AREA.

ONE KREE, TWO KREE, PINK KREE, BLUE KREE by Dr. See-oose

While on the topic of golden books

I leafed through it at the store today! It is basically a guide to the characters, but pretty charming!

this feels like the most fucking unnecessary thing to exist and I actually like X-Men.

Oh I love this shit. I have a whole collection of Mickey Mouse comics promoting petrochemicals.

One of my oldest's favorite books is an early reader book about Loki causing mischief in an elementary school. "Loki took the cookies! Loki made the Hulk blue! Loki was feeling left out!"

Not as weird, but still an odd one: wikizilla.org/wiki/Who%27s...

Who's Afraid of Godzilla?wikizilla.org Who's Afraid of Godzilla? is a picture book written by Marc Cerasini (as Di Kaiju) and illustrated by Bob Eggleton.

Like a “chapter book” junior novelization sort of thing? I definitely had that when I was a kid.

nope. Like, an early readers picture book.

THAT’S WILD.

Yeah I think I had something like that too

I actually read the Days of Future Past one when I was a kid. I was horrified by the character deaths, and by the bad writing.

Wait, what??
