Kitty saves the life of Senator Kelly, changing the present timeline and splintering the future into two separate paths. Of course, X-Men employs the alternate realities philosophy when dealing with branching timelines, much like Dragonball or Bioshock. Going back in time to change the past doesn’t end up affecting anything in the future. Instead it creates a completely separate timeline in some other dimension. Our story will follow this new timeline, but characters and events from the Days of Future Past timeline will continuously bleed over, affecting things as if the true reality is continuously tugging at the present, as if the path of fate knows that it has been led astray and is seeking to correct itself. Does it even sound like I have any idea of what I’m talking about. (Uncanny X-Men #142 – Feb 1981)

Future Wolverine is killed in the Days of Future Past timeline. Man, remember when Wolverine wasn’t immortal? When he was tough to kill but not impossible? Wolverine has been incinerated like this more recently and all of his flesh literally grew back almost immediately. Too many average writers have gotten their mits on him and turned the character into a parody of himself. (Uncanny X-Men #142 – Feb 1981)

For being such a famous story, there is almost nothing to the comic book version of Days of Future Past. Kitty travels back in time to warn the X-Men that Mystique is going to kill Senator Kelly, and the X-Men go and stop her. The fight is pretty cool, but that’s about all that happens, and we’ve seen the X-Men take on other super powered groups again and again. In retrospect, the movie did a really good job in embellishing the minimalist story presented here. (Uncanny X-Men #142 – Feb 1981)

You know, it’s usually bullshit when they say on the cover that somebody is going to die, but the X-Men has been pretty consistent about it. We get to see Wolverine die in this issue in spectacular fashion and Storm gets turned into a popsicle. Too bad they spoil it right on the cover. (Uncanny X-Men #142 – Feb 1981)
