Comics have a problem, and that problem is that it is really hard to make sure you are reading everything in order. That problem becomes even harder as a trade paperback readers who has to consult fan made reading orders to ensure you are missing a single page of action. The brain trust there at…
Proving that you can’t keep a great idea down, the X-Men of the internet are returning this summer! The .Exe/men were introduced by Bryan Edward Hill and Neil Edwards in 2018’s WHAT IF?
