She’s keeping the hair. She’s keeping an artist who knows how to draw her. She has a Black writer. She’s not returning to any sort of 1990s-era status quo involving the mansion or Blue and Gold teams or a costume you can’t tell is black or white. You guys … I think Storm might be…
If Captain Britain is Britain’s Captain America, Union Jack is its … Hawkeye? Sure, let’s say that. A blue-collar, working-class guy more likely to be played by Jason Statham. Hey, have any of you guys seen The Beekeeper yet? I’ve heard it’s pretty good. Anyway, Union Jack has plenty of experience with vampires. He was…
In the early to mid-1980s, Marvel very much saw Dazzler as her own thing. Originally planned as a multimedia IP tied to actress Bo Derek, those plans fizzled with the death of disco, but didn’t keep Alison Blaire from starring in her own comic book for 40-some issues before she was folded back into the…

Storm has spent the past few years not so much as a superhero but as the leader of a people, defending the broken land of Arakko from threats foreign and domestic. It would be a disservice to the character to simply put her back on the X-Men. So let’s make her an Avenger again. At…

Super Jersey Comic Expo on Friday announced it will hold its 2025 show at a new venue, The Dome at Adventure Crossing in Jackson, New Jersey, April 26 and 27, in news being announced first on ComicsXF. The move comes after the 2023 show had to make some rough last-minute pivots that resulted in it…
Mister Sinister is an asshole. That’s not a hot take, even if I said a swear. He is. We had a whole crossover about it just last year. So when he extends a listening ear and, surprisingly, some actual empathy to his conspirator of many decades, Destiny, it comes off as surprising. Did he alter…
The X-Men have had many generations of new mutants, from, well, the New Mutants, to Generation X, to the Morrison era/Academy X kids, to, technically, the O5 X-Men who got pulled forward in time, to whatever little ferals were running around Krakoa and apparently are being shunted off to the White Hot Room for not…
Krakoa took a lot out of Logan, especially toward the end. So it makes sense he’d want to get away for a little bit, hide out from society, maybe run around with some wolves even though he’s named after a cousin of the ferret. Thus begins the new Wolverine series by writer Saladin Ahmed (Daredevil)…

The X-Men’s Great Post-Krakoa Reset will include such a team as it resurrects the X-Factor brand for a new volume by writer Mark Russell…
