Charles Xavier. Beast. Amanda Mueller. Moira MacTaggert. Magneto. Some of the greatest minds and experts on mutantkind are assembled by Mister Sinister to discuss the evolution of Homo superior … but to what devious end? Rest assured, there’ll be at least one dead body before dessert at this meeting of the Eighth Circle. Dan âNever…
Austin Gorton: The first episode of Book of Boba Fett was a bit of a slow burn, teeing up some plot points while introducing a present day/flashback narrative structure. This episode continues in that vein, but is much more action-packed while also making the world of the show feel bigger. What are your main takeaways…
Austin Gorton: Itâs been over a year since the second season of The Mandalorian concluded with Grogu (nee Baby Yoda) flying off into the sunset with a CG Mark Hamill, but instead of following that up with the next round of Mandalorian adventures, Disney is giving fans the series teased at the end of that…

Vader gets lost in the influx of new characters and an uninspiring plot in Star Wars: Darth Vader #19 written by Greg Pak, art by Guiu Vilanova, colored by Alex Sinclair and lettered by Joe Caramagna. Two issues into the âCrimson Dawnâ era of this series, things are already starting to feel repetitive. After last…
Luke Skywalker gets back to Jedi business in Star Wars #19, written by Charles Soule, drawn by Marcos Castiello, colored by Rachelle Rosenberg and lettered by Clayton Cowles.

The gang says so long, farewell, we hate to say goodbye in Hellions #18.
People only familiar with Hawkeye from his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might be surprised to hear this, but Hawkeye is supposed to be a fun character. While the MCU Hawkeye is largely dour and grimacing — a family man capable of cracking the occasional wry joke, but someone who takes his job pretty…
The team comes together in Hellions #17 just in time to fall apart. Sigh. Isn’t that always the case?
Disneyâs The Eternals represents perhaps the biggest swing of all from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an attempt to adapt a relatively obscure batch of sci-fi space-god characters from a â70s era comic by Marvel founding father Jack Kirby, then sell that adaptation to viewers in a post-Avengers world. Much like the MCU, the Eternals and…
Leia mourns missed chances, then spars with Qiâra in Star Wars #18 written by Charles Soule, art by Ramon Rosanas, colored by Rachelle Rosenberg and lettered by Clayton Cowles. âWar of the Bounty Huntersâ is finally over. Thatâs said without any judgement intended; rather, that usage of âfinallyâ is an acknowledgement that, love it or…
Hey! Who invited Omega Red to the battle? Donât expect any answers, as this is only Part 2 of 3 in X-Men Legends #8.
