We love Al Ewing here at ComicsXF. The man spent the past five years telling compelling, powerful stories about Storm, Magneto and Arakkii culture. But apparently he also writes Venom? And there’s gonna be some kind of war among all the goo people? And Carnage is still a thing? Honestly, I haven’t cared about a…
Oh, that’s right, Jubilee was a vampire for, like, a really long time! Not reading X-Men comics from roughly 2004 to 2017 means I almost completely skipped Jubilee’s vampire phase, save for the tail end of it in the Christina Strain/Amilcar Pinna Generation X series. Hey, didn’t Jubilee have a kid, too? What happened there?…

“Boy, it really feels like they’re rushing to end Krakoa,” say a lot of people reading a lot of X-books for the past year. And yet. Over in Benjamin Percy’s protected little corner of the island, the Sabretooth War has been going on for 10 issues. Ten issues of a bunch of Sabreteeth ripping through…

Dan’s pick: Karate Prom: Don “TheDragonWilson” Jones is the finest fighter Benjamin Harrison High School has ever produced.

Last week, Marvel gave us DOOM, a one-shot where writer Jonathan Hickman let artist Sanford Greene take the wheel and tell a balls-out story about the hastened death of the universe. It ruled. Hickman is following that up with Wolverine: Revenge, a five-issue miniseries where, much like DOOM, he is letting artist Greg Capullo take…
Normally, as a true fan of The Big Lebowski, I hate the f*****g Eagles, man. Except in one instance: The 1985 soundtrack to the TV show Miami Vice. Nevermind that it was my mom’s favorite show at the time, or that it popularized Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” It also included two bangers from…

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…
