I’m a simple man. I have a masters in business administration and I am one of the leading experts on all things X-Men. So a book about the X-Corporation headed by CXOs Penance and Angel? That is something that perks my interest. Hearing that all-star writer Tini Howard is taking chair with Alberto Foche? Well,…
Jordan Blum isn’t your average Hollywood big shot. For one, he’s worked on funny and subversive shows like Community, American Dad and the upcoming MODOK series for Hulu. For two, he’s a big old X-Men nerd. And for three, he’s also co-writing MODOK: Head Games. Jordan sat down for a chat with us about the…
Penultiman, the hero from humanity’s far-flung future sent back in time to live with his more primitive ancestors (that’d be us), has been beset by failure, self-doubt and a robot (Antepenultiman) who seems more beloved and better at his job than he will ever be. And it’s all clearly starting to wear on the man:…
It sucks to be Quentin Quire. He has become the punching bag for the X-Force creative team of Benjamin Percy and Joshua Cassara who have killed him in nearly every mission the mutant CIA has undertaken.

Remember cons? You would pay money to walk in circles around a crowded hall for hours, mingling among cosplayers and guys with messenger bags as they fist-bumped creators, commissioned sketches of Cyclops or Batman having a good day and thumbed through endless dollar bins looking for buried treasure like that X-Men state fair comic but…
Something feels better today. Not perfect, but marginally better. To celebrate we wanted to share ten things from the Marvel solicits for April 2021 that we are looking forward to! The Marvels, Finally While Astro City might be on hiatus, we can at least get Astro City but with Marvel characters. Kurt Busiek has made…
It’s fair to say that Krakoan paradise hasn’t been all that for Quentin Quire. The onetime Kid Omega has been killed often, and in gruesome ways. For haters of the brat, it has been delightful. Watching an absolute trashcan of a person get decapitated never gets old. But Quire is bored of death, he desires…
If there is one thing we love here at ComicsXF, it is Nightcrawler. If there are two things we love it is Nightcrawler and esoteric musings on religion. Marvel is giving up both with the upcoming Way Of X by Si Spurrier and Bob Quinn because Nightcrawler is building a religion, he is building it…
