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)…

While there have been many iterations of X-Factor since 1985, one of the most memorable has been the government-sponsored, workplace-comedy team first written by Peter David and drawn by Larry Stroman. 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…

I’ve never been a Fantastic Four guy, but I gotta say, every time I dip into this current iteration of the series, I have a great time. I read the previous issue, #19, where the Trapster uses a Cosmic Cube to trap the FF in a noir where Alicia Masters plays the private dick and…
THE END IS NIGH! The Krakoan Age is nearly at an end … and what might be the final battle of the heroes of Krakoa. One last stop before the fall and rise come to their conclusion, and everything changes. X-Men # 34 is written by Gerry Duggan, drawn by Joshua Cassara, colored by Romulo…

It wasn’t that long ago that Mystique yelled “I want my wife back!” in 2020’s X-Men #6, making text what students of Chris Claremont knew to be true for far longer, that Raven Darkholme and Irene Adler were a queer couple whose love dated back decades. (Around that same time, they also kissed on panel…
If Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman’s X-Men are the mutant freedom fighters and Eve Ewing and Carmen Carnero’s Exceptional X-Men are the young mutants in training, it appears Gail Simone and David Marquez’s Uncanny X-Men are the big damn heroes. Led by Rogue and including Gambit, Wolverine (Logan), Jubilee and Nightcrawler, the team seems to…
