GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

But there was a "Where were you during 9/11?" thread on Off-Topic that reminded me of something. These panels are from a 1985 Uncanny X-Men comic, nearly a decade before even the failed truck bombing attack on the WTC. While of course it's a coincidence, to me it was a striking one.

Wow. I remember that comic. I always had a bit of a soft spot for Rachel Summers. It is a bit difficult to put into words, but she always struck me as something of a hopeful figure. As bad as she had it, as damaged and scarred as she was, she always found a way to persevere despite it and hope for the best even while expecting the worst.

Wow, spooky stuff.

Ouch...
That feels weird reading it now....

Odd, very odd.

That is very "uncanny"...
Rachel Summers is a true telepath...

Dang. Looks more like the writers were telepathic...

Neat, I've never seen that before. Did they explain how it happened (mutant uprising or whatever)? Or was it just a brief one-panel thing?

@Oleg_Huzwog, It was Uncanny X-Men 189, and that particular thing was just mentioned in passing, with the implication that it happened in ongoing battles between mutants and Sentinels + hound units.

Holy crap. In a small and scary way its kind of spookey. Im no psycho, or crazy, but maybe they predicted 9/11. But then again why wouldnt they stop it? Haha!

Wow.....that is just....spooky.

The last panel which said "Rachel's a TELEPATH" made me lol

@DrSponge

In fairness, it was followed by describing how she felt the pain of the aforementioned dead and injured. You know, telepathically

Crazy and I remember the comic. Always loved the Rachel Summers/Days of future past plots.

That's weird...
speaking of it. Outkast has a song called B.O.B, Bombs over Bagdad. The title makes me kind of confused. It's released 10 years or so after Bush senior attacked Iraq and a few years before Bush Jr did it. (lets hope I got my facts right here)
