Frank Castle’s had a rough couple years. Blame the misappropriation of his iconography by police and their white supremacist admirers. Still, it put Marvel in a bind. It tried to get out of it by introduing a new Punisher, an ex-SHIELD agent named Joe Garrison, and turning Frank into an agent of The Hand complete…
Do you think Dani Moonstar ever gets tired of being the sensible, level-headed New Mutant? Like, remember when she yelled at Professor Xavier about her belt?

First, the silly bit: This preview contains a panel in which two shirtless men put a blanket on a fully clothed woman. Granted, that woman was attacked by an ice dragon in the previous issue, but still, there’s an irony there. Now that that’s out of the way, if you like the panel on the…

It’s a good day for fashion, eh? Less than an hour after we posted our talented Redesigning team’s looks for a theoretical 2025 Hellfire Gala, Marvel released design sheets for this year’s Hellfire Vigil, a July one-shot serving as a year-later memorial for the First Krakoan Age and setup for some of the next year’s…
