In the final X-Cast of 2006, Brian and Rob review 4 current books in On Shelves Now: The penultimate issue of Mike Carey's initial X-Men run, #192, Wolverine #47, Greg Pak's Phoenix: Warsong #3, and Astonishing X-Men #18.

For our Top 5, we take on the Lamest X-villains (since the Giant Sized Revamp), and of course our Retro Review flashes back to the FIRST Death of Professor X with X-Men #42-45 and Avengers #53.
