Uncanny X-Men #346, “The Story of the Year!” August 1997.Written by: Scott Lobdell. Art by: Joe Madureira, Rodney Ramos, and Tim Townsend. I’m always happy to have a Spider-Man cameo, and while I’m not super intrigued by J. Jonah Jameson ever, it’s a pretty solid issue. There are almost no X-Men, and I definitely miss them, but it could be worse. I’ll be honest that I’m so busy with school work that I’m having a hard time caring very much about these issues, so I apologize for not having a stronger opinion.At the Daily Bugle offices, J. Jonah Jameson is voicing his displeasure at a photograph of Spider-Man fighting the Hulk. It’s not that the photo is bad, but that Jameson is far more interested in Bastion and his shady dealings, and wants the newspaper to focus on that. Apparently, Storm and Cannonball are being held by Bastion somewhere, and Jameson wants the story. Peter Parker decides to do some investigating of his own, as Spidey, since he might also be in Bastion’s crosshairs. He sees Gyrich get ambushed by Marrow and Callisto. Elsewhere, Gambit (and ostensibly the rest of his crew) are stuck on some alien world. Bastion shows up at JJJ’s office and gives him a disk that he says Jameson should watch before he comments on anything. Spidey has to fight Marrow and Callisto to save Gyrich, and then some Sentinels show up. Well, actually, the robots that were guarding Gyrich end up being Sentinels. Same diff. Bastion tells JJJ that the files are all about the X-Men and their known associates, but Jameson refuses to be bought. He’s too suspicious of Bastion, and insists he’ll find the truth. Gyrich ends up killing the Sentinels, but not before they’ve blasted Callisto. He then plans to kill Marrow and Spider-Man, but he’s convinced to let them all leave.
