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.

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…

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…
Listen, I know the timeline of when all these comics take place in relation to each other is wibbly-wobbly at best, but I’m pretty sure MODOK resigned from Orchis at the end of Fall of the House of X #2. But here he is in X-Men #34, taking advantage of the conflict between the mutants…
