Have you ever thought, “Man, I sure do love ComicsXF, but I wish there was a physical version of the website I could hold in my hand and take with me to the beach so I don’t get sand in my phone or tablet.”
Well, everybody look under your seats …
SIKE! There’s nothing down there.
But up here, back on your phone or tablet, there is something, and that something is …
THE FIRST EVER COMICSXF ZINE.
Behold, 80 pages of some of the best articles from the history of this website, featuring:
- HoX Pox Tox: Annotating House of X #1 by Chris Eddleman and Robert Secundus
- The History of “To Me, My X-Men” by Kevin
- We Need to Talk about Jean Grey’s Green Dress by Dr. Anna Peppard
- Talking Charts with Jonathan Hickman by Zack Jenkins
- Magneto Isn’t Malcolm X by Jude Jones
- Which X-women Were Each and Every Song on Taylor Swift’s Album Folklore Written About by Emily Harding
- Redesigning Madelyne Pryor
- And more, including activity pages and other zine-exclusive goofs and bits!
Now, you may ask, how can I get my grubby little mitts on this work of majesty? Starting now, you can buy The ComicsXF Zine as a pdf for $10 on our Patreon.
We’ll be debuting a physical version exclusively at Super Jersey Comic Expo, April 26 and 27 at The Dome at Adventure Crossing in Jackson, New Jersey, and based on demand there, we’ll print more and make them available to order on the Patreon (likely at a higher price point to account for printing and shipping costs).
This was a labor of blood, sweat and other bodily fluids, showcasing some of the best of what CXF has to offer. Don’t delay, buy today, and keep supporting some of the best comics criticism on the web!
