A long quote from Chuck Austen about the long-term consequences of Jean Grey’s return was added.

And the Wolverine: Deep Cut limited series by Chris Claremont from 2024 got referenced for Mr. Sinister’s orphanage where Cyclops grew up getting blown up.

In X-Men And X-Factor United: The whole second half of the chapter with Claremont telling about his plans for Wolverine as an assassin of the Hand if he had continued as writer was expanded with a handful of quotes from a Near Mint Condition interview - about Wolverine's fight with Lady Deathstrike, about his body expunging the adamantium after Colossus rips his claws out, about Jean Grey wanting to save him and becoming the Hand's assassin instead and about Mark Millar stealing his plot idea. Also, he thought Magneto would make a more interesting headmaster than Professor X.
In Upstarts, High-Lords and Armageddon: I added John Byrne quotes from Wizard #3 about his ideas for the X-Men while he was scripting the books in 1991, including a new mutant massacre.
In Post-Age of Apocalypse: The part about Adam X as the third Summers brother was expanded to now reference X-Men Legends #1 and 2 from 2021. The part about Senator Kelly’s telepathic aide in Uncanny X-Men by Scott Lobdell was expanded with info about the aide from Larry Hama’s Wolverine run. And I added a quote from Fabian Nicieza about why he left writing X-Men and X-Force in 1995 towards the end of the chapter.
In Taking The X-Men to The Extreme: Mentions of “the end of Claremont’s association with the X-Men” were deleted as he would return to write limited series and one-shots with X-Men characters after the X-Men Forever series ended in 2011. For instance, the 2023 X-Treme X-Men vol. 2 miniseries which solved the 2003 sub-plot of Alice Tremaine’s pet Sentinel. Also, mention of the New Mutants Forever miniseries was added at the end of the chapter.
AND… I’m writing a new chapter covering Grant Morrison’s run on New X-Men and Chuck Austen’s attempt to explain why it wasn’t the real Magneto Morrison killed off - and that's just for starters. Expect this new chapter sometime soon in the year 2026. And I'm already planning another chapter beyond that as well, which will cover Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men and Claremont's 2014 Nightcrawler series among other things.
