They’re on the cover, which you can see above. “Being in an X-Men comic where they (the X-Men themselves) actually run security at one of our shows… I should have written a song about that,” Wayne Coyne said in a statement. “I mean… before it really happened.” The Toadies will appear as well in the issue. “As an X-Men fan since 1977 this is a dream come true,” Toadies bassist Doni Blair told Billboard.
