You guys, it’s Maggott! You know, Japheth, the guy with the robo-slugs that eat stuff and who turns blue sometimes. He was an X-man, albeit after the point where joining the X-Men got you on cartoons and T-shirts and stuff. Here’s his Xavier File. We should probably update it. (This is a good reminder that…
Look at those four happy robot kids on Justin Mason’s cover to Sentinels #5. Drumfire and Sawtooth each throwing a hand in the air, waving it like they just don’t care. Voivod looking a bit apprehensive but excited. Lockstep fully embracing the moment and striking a surfer pose. All while they ride a traditional Sentinel…
Once again, NYX proves itself to be the series most willing to engage with the Krakoan era as part of a larger discussion about what mutant society looks like now. In doing so, next week’s issue flashes back to Crucible, the space where mutants on Krakoa were given the chance to die in battle for…
Cable and the romantic lead of his current miniseries, Avery Ryder, make a cute couple. They’re both soldiers, they both have the technoorganic virus, they both have big, metal arms and cool weapons and say dry, cool, action-hero-y things. I hope these two kids make it, but given writer David Pepose’s elevator pitch for the…
Before we show you art from next week’s Scarlet Witch #9, a comic in which the Black Cat breaks into Wanda’s vault to steal some magic stuff, we’d like to show you this page from 2024’s X-Men: The Wedding Special. In that comic, which you can read more about here, Mystique and Destiny stage a…
In Psylocke, a woman trained from childhood to be a weapon seeks to protect children from mutant traffickers. In Laura Kinney: Wolverine, a woman created in a lab to be a weapon seeks to protect young mutants from being exploited by the criminal underworld. In Magik, a woman trained from childhood to be a (magical)…
Who doesn’t love a robot dog? Rush from the Mega Man games, K9 from Doctor Who, GIR from Invader Zim. Robot dogs are just metal friends. But what this comic posits is, what if robot dogs were EVIL? This isn’t the first time we’ve seen these dog Sentinels. They’ve been tested in Alex Paknadel and…

The wildfires currently devastating Los Angeles have hit home for the comics community as well. Writer David M. Booher, co-creator of the indie fantasy series Canto and known for other series like Dungeons & Dragons Saturday Morning Adventures, All-New Firefly and Killer Queens, has posted a GoFundMe after his home was destroyed in the Eaton…
The Uncanny Experience, Minneapolis’ X-Men fan convention and immersive experience, recently announced a new batch of guests for its third show this summer, along with its theme: a celebration of X-Men Evolution. For the previous two shows, The Uncanny Experience drew heavily on fan affection for X-Men: The Animated Series (and its surprisingly good follow-up,…
People are always asking, “What if … Galactus transformed Gambit?” But what they really should be asking is “What if … Gambit transformed Galactus?” Picture it: Gambit teaching the Devourer of Worlds to play No Limit Hold ‘Em, inviting him to ante up at a poker game on the Blue Area of the Moon with…
Next year marks the 10th anniversary of the release of the movie Mad Max: Fury Road, in which groups of cars traverse a futuristic-but-also-steampunk wasteland and do fights while we root for bisexual icons Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. While that movie is but one link in a franchise dating to 1979 and extending to…
Sigh. We never did get that break from Xavier, did we? After being taken into custody at the end of the Krakoan age/beginning of From the Ashes last summer and being locked up in his old house, aka Graymalkin Prison, one couldn’t be blamed for thinking we might get a nice respite from the would-be…
In this week’s Sentinels #3 by Alex Paknadel and Justin Mason (which we previewed last week), the team goes to Madripoor on a mission to apprehend Fabian Cortez, who – SPOILERS – is actually using his powers to heal the people of Lowtown, because apparently some people did learn lessons from their time on Krakoa….
In the beginning, there was the Ultimate Universe, and people saw that it was good. Then there was the Energon Universe, and people saw those Daniel Warren Johnson panels of robots doing suplexes and they were all, “YO, THIS RIPS!” Then there was the Absolute Universe, and people are still waiting for Al Ewing and…
