The most talked about moment in New Mutants #1 [Ed. Note: Which we talked about here] was the promise of more Murd Blurdock.

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?

Remembering that the X-Men are very popular, Marvel is leading off their new Venom Island variants with the fact that the X-Men will get them.
