Master Mold returns to plague the X-Men in this fan comic.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
October has become a busy month for artists participating in themed drawing challenges, from Inktober to Drawtober to Pouchtober<\/a>, and then you have your character-specific events. Ryan Cody is taking that idea a step further with The<\/em> Inexorable X-Men<\/em>, a project that turns a month of daily art into a complete comic book.<\/p>\n Cody isn\u2019t simply drawing X-Men \u2014 he\u2019s sharing the creation process as it unfolds, with each of the 31 daily panels contributing to a finished story. He\u2019s also selling his original art as he goes along.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year, since I have the time, I thought I\u2019d do another X-Tober event,\u201d he wrote on his Patreon<\/a>. \u201cI did this a few years back and it was a smashing success. I had fun, people were able to purchase affordable original art, and I made some money. So I asked myself, what would be cooler than just doing pin-ups of Marvel\u2019s Mightiest Mutants? Thus, The Inexorable X-Men were born.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The story he\u2019s telling goes way back to the Claremont era of Uncanny X-Men<\/em>: <\/p>\n Not all of the Master Mold Sentinel was destroyed when Dazzler sent it (along with Rogue) through the Siege Perilous (Uncanny X-Men #247). Years later, the villain Bastion would return to the site in New York City and recover this piece of his \u201cparents.\u201d Prior to Operation: Zero Tolerance (X-Men Vol. 2 #65) he hid the piece in his bunker in the mountains of Colorado. Now, years later, Cable has received intel from the future that it has awakened, and is rebuilding itself!<\/em><\/p>\n A hastily assembled team consisting of Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Magik, and Storm, these inexorable X-Men find themselves facing a newly re-born, and altogether powerful, enemy: the Monster Mold!<\/em><\/p>\n You can follow along on his Patreon<\/a> and various social accounts, including BlueSky<\/a>. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smashpages.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/cody-xmen.jpg)
