"X-Cutioner's Song" is a crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics' in twelve parts from the November 1992 to early 1993. It involved the Uncanny X-Men, X-Men (vol. 2), X-Factor, and X-Force.

Besides being the first major crossover of the X-Men books since the 1991 revamp that included the publication of X-Men (vol. 2) and X-Force #1, the story was heavily hyped regarding the writers revealing the origin of popular X-Men supporting cast member Cable.

Also, the main issues of the crossover were released in gimmick format; each issue was sold polybagged with a special trading card that featured Stryfe's personal views of key characters from the crossover. Because of this, the issues themselves were priced at $1.50, twenty-five cents more than their normal price of $1.25.

Famous quotes containing the word song:

    “There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
