The Uncanny X-Men have made their return! Following the “From the Ashes” period for Marvel’s mutants, which started in July with X-Men #1, this week has seen the release of Uncanny X-Men #1, or Uncanny X-Men #701 if you prefer the legacy numbering. This title is one that many fans consider to be the main X-Men book.

In issue #94 of “The Walking Dead” comic book, Andrea told Rick Grimes, “We’re the ones who endure, Rick.” She emphasized, “We’re the ones who survive… again and again, it’s us.” The 2012 comic book issue inspired a season 5 episode of the AMC TV series where Andrew Lincoln (as Rick) first uttered the line “we’re the ones who live.” This phrase was later repeated by both Rick and Danai Gurira’s Michonne, leading to the title of their spinoff series: “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Survive.”
