Marvel on Friday hinted at what’s next for the X-Men in 2026 after this fall’s three-month “Age of Revelation” event wraps, dropping teasers for five series under the banner of “Shadows of Tomorrow.” Of the five, three are returning series, picking up from their pre-“Age of Revelation” numbering – Uncanny X-Men, X-Men and Wolverine. Two…
One of Storm’s most beloved arcs is the period in the 1980s when she loses her powers. It gives us the brilliant “Lifedeath” by Chris Claremont and Barry Windsor-Smith. She fights Cyclops for leadership of the X-Men and wins. She sticks it to enemies like Fenris and the Murder Grandpas. She proves herself as a…

This week, Deadpool/Batman will be released, the first Marvel/DC crossover in well over a decade. And as anyone who knows how comics work, the biggest characters are the ones who get crossed over, and no one at DC is bigger than Batman. So to tie in, we’re reading three Batman/Marvel team-ups. These are some fun…
The Wolverine/Ransom two-fisted team-up takes a weird turn, as our badass heroes chase a villain to, of all places, a comic book convention in Argentina. How do they find and eliminate their target in a sea of masked cosplayers? And what if some of the cosplayers are the actual villains they are portraying? Uncanny X-Men…
Just as Marvel’s heroes are known for their feet of clay, their villains are as well. Magneto’s mustache-twirling evil of the Silver Age has been tempered by his past as a Holocaust survivor. Loki tends to operate more in shades of gray since appearing in the MCU. Heck, even Thanos has gotten some sympathetic backstory,…
