## Resource

We boiled down the 63 episodes of our ninth season to a single episode that takes you from May 1975 through December of 1977. Can Chris Claremont and John Byrne write and draw every single comic, every single month? How many editors-in-chief can one publisher burn through? How did The Champions make 17 issues feel like 7,000? Refresh your memories with this Giant-Size episode and get ready for SEASON X!
