The rights to Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian have bounced around from comics publisher to comics publisher the past few years. But when you really think about it, anyone can do a barbarian story. All you need is a big shirtless dude with dirty hair, a weapon of some kind, some dirty-sexy people in…
We’ve argued plenty ’round these parts about whether Deadpool is an X-Men character, but apparently we should be arguing more about whether Deadpool is a Spider-Man character. Case in point: This comic. Deadpool has a version of the Carnage symbiote. He is being pursued by Doctor Octopus and a character named Harrower to whom the…
In 1997, Toy Biz released a line of action figures called “X-Men: Monster Armor” where the X-Men got cool Halloween costume looking snap-on accessories. This had no basis in any other piece of X-Men media, but that was the toy industry for you. I must assume Si Spurrier spent his life working to get a…
Carol Danvers is teaming up with the X-Men to go into space and first the Brood again. If you like the Brood Saga, you’ll like our exclusive preview of Kelly Thompson and Sergio Davila’s Captain Marvel #45.
Get it? Prior? Like Pryor? You’re no fun. Anyway, Gerry Duggan & Phil Noto did this one, you can buy Dark Web: X-Men #2 next week but here’s our preview. Fun fact, if you want to post this somewhere, it’s MUCH faster just to drop that URL instead of saving all these JPEGs and reuploading…
Marvel Comics struck gold in 2014 with the Kamala Khan, the newest Ms. Marvel. The character was fun, fresh and unique. Then G. Willow Wilson stopped writing her and in an effort to be nice, I’m going to refrain from expanding on my thoughts vis a vis Marvel fumbling the bag. But good news for…
Over the last few years, Abigail Brand has been plotting and planning for the betterment of Earth. She has done great things like stabilizing the galactic economy and killing Henry Peter Gyrich as well as terrible things like a lot of racism. Her plans are beginning to come to fruition in the form of the…

In 2024, the copyright for Mickey Mouse is set to expire. That’s not to say it won’t be extended — it’s happened twice since 1984 — but could you imagine a timeline where the mascot of the largest entertainment conglomerate in the world is allowed to roam free, teaming up with everyone from Batman to…
Ben Percy and Corey Smith have been quietly making a killer Ghost Rider book over the last year. It’s a comic that basks in being a comic, one that enjoys the dumb fun of being about a demonic, on-fire, motorcycle riding skeleton. In this latest preview, Ghost Rider and his new goth FBI agent friend,…
You ever here about a journalism term called “burying the lede”? Well here at ComicsXF we refuse to do that. We put the lede right there in the headline. Disaster gals doing wresting moves and looking hot doing it. Leah Williams and Carlos Gomez are doing God’s work here and we love it. Check out…
I honestly forgot this book was coming out. It was so two-thousand and late. But it’s finally here, Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1, the book where a guy from The Black Eyed Peas writes a story where Spider-Man fights the Demon Bear from New Mutants. I got a feeling that Taboo, B. Earl and Juan Ferreyra…
If you listened to some of the folks at New York Comic Con this year, you might have thought they hadn’t had a convention last year at all. I assure you, it happened. I was there. But the reality is that after a year off in 2020, and a limited rollout in 2021, 2022’s NYCC…
Arakko has fallen. The Eternal Uranos and his war machines razed the red planet until it knew nothing but loss. A pillar of mutant society fell to avenge those who suffered. The greatest Omega warriors stood against him. It wasn’t enough. How shall we judge the protectors who did not protect? Legion Of X #6…
The world of 2099 is a strange one. A world where mega corporations have consolidated all commerce and life to serve their ends. It would be called late-stage capitalism, but that implies there is an end in sight. Who could imagine such an existence? This is what Kate Pryde and her Marauders face in our…
