As you may have heard, we here at ComicsXF are more than a little excited about this weekend’s Super Jersey Comic Expo, April 26 and 27 at The Dome at Adventure Crossing in Jackson, New Jersey. Maybe it’s because we’ll have a table there, selling some of the cool stuff you’ll see below. Maybe it’s…
I’m happy for the people this miniseries is making happy. The Zaladane stans who after 34 years got fresh tales of their evil dinosaur priestess who is not Polaris’ sister. The variant cover collectors and traders who stood at attention at the mere mention of “Savage Land Bikini Rogue Adam Hughes variant.” The nostalgia readers…
Two years ago, the X-Men threw a lovely party that went all to crap when Orchis showed up and made Charles Xavier force nearly all of mutantkind through Krakoan gates. The mutants regrouped and over the next year defeated Orchis, but at the cost of their homeland blinking onto another plane of existence. Since then,…
Once upon a time, two righteous dudes named Fabian Nicieza and Greg Capullo wrote and drew a book called X-Force, about a bunch of extreme young adults finding their way in the world with the help of their large, swollen gun dad. Sometimes, their large, swollen gun dad, whom they called Cable, would disappear for…
As a co-creator of Iron Man and Ant-Man and scripter of the publisher’s first appearance of Thor, Larry Lieber is one of the last surviving architects of the Marvel Universe. And he’s coming to Super Jersey Comic Expo. The convention announced the 93-year-old Lieber’s appearance Tuesday, referring to him in an earlier teaser post as…
Have you ever thought, “Man, I sure do love ComicsXF, but I wish there was a physical version of the website I could hold in my hand and take with me to the beach so I don’t get sand in my phone or tablet.” Well, everybody look under your seats … SIKE! There’s nothing down…
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?…
You know who are the only people who think empathy is a weakness? Supervillains. Just sayin’. Check out our exclusive preview of Phoenix #10, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets. (W) Stephanie Phillips (A) Alessandro Miracolo (CA) Yasmine Putri THE FINAL BATTLE! • JEAN GREY has ascended to her most powerful form…
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…
