Sometimes, you gotta Live, Die, Repeat on the Edge of Tomorrow. Sometimes, you gotta Groundhog Day. Sometimes, you gotta Happy Death Day. Sometimes, you gotta Happy Death Day 2U. Sometimes, you gotta Palm Springs. Sometimes, you gotta Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas starring Huey, Dewey and Louie. Sometimes, you gotta that episode of What If?…

Oh, that’s right, Psylocke had a kid. We first found out about Himeko in Fallen Angels (2019), where it’s revealed she died overdosing on an AI-infused drug (See kids, AI is bad; don’t let it do your homework for you). Later, in Hellions, Mister Sinister uses the promise of resurrecting Himeko to keep Kwannon in…
Webster’s defines “vig” (short for vigorish) as “a charge taken (as by a bookie or a gambling house) on bets” or “interest paid to a moneylender.” Normally, opening with information from the dictionary would be cliché (I mean, it’s still cliché), but it felt important to share because next week’s issue of Uncanny X-Men features…
Who is Emma Frost’s truest love? Could it be Scott Summers, the man she comforted after the death of Jean Grey, who melted the White Queen’s heart of ice? Could it be Tony Stark, the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist with whom she entered a marriage of convenience but ended up catching feelings? Could it be…
For several years now, our man in the field Matt Lazorwitz has attended Flame Con, New York’s annual LGBTQ+ comic convention, to interview creators, attend panels and generally be a good friend. But that’s the East Coast. What about the West Coast? Prism Comics has just brought to our attention Q Con, Southern California’s only…
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN CYCLOPS AND HAVOK COLLIDE, the solicit blurb asks. Well, if it’s like any of the other times, nothing. Their powers cancel each other out. Every trading card has told us this. They’ll switch to fists for a little bit, get tired of that and eventually move to the last resort of…
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…
