Storm joins Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Avengers #17
After Blood Hunt and Fall of the House of X, where does that leave the Avengers? The team’s roster won’t be the only thing shaken up.

I guess it’s true what that T-shirt I grew out of said: All the best X-Men are women. Of the now 14 – FOURTEEN – series announced for the X-Men’s From the Ashes era, SIX are women-led solo series: Phoenix, Dazzler, Storm, Mystique, Psylocke and Laura Kinney: Wolverine. The sixth series was announced Sunday at…
Cyclops and Psylocke’s relationship has come a long way. Think about it. Thirty or so years ago, a version of Psylocke that was a hybrid of Betsy Braddock and the assassin Kwannon tried to seduce Scott Summers by licking motor oil off his face, scaring him so badly that he ran away to Alaska (Fun…
Well, Apocalypse, you’ve narrowed your 12 suitors down to four: Cable, Forge, Cypher and Mirage. You’ve taken them on the hometown dates, where they met your four favorite children, and also Genocide. Now, it’s time to make your final decision. But first, if you’re both willing, you and each of your final four suitors may…
There are 13 X-books coming out in October. Two of them are issues of the same book. That’s a lot. We’ve only gotten two published From the Ashes comics so far: X-Men #1 and Phoenix #1, so it’s way too early for predictions, but we can make plenty of observations based on the covers and…
Do y’all remember the 2016 X-Men ’92 story “The World Is a Vampire” by Chris Sims, Chad Bowers and Alti Firmansyah? The BotA Boyz covered it waaaaaaay back in Episode 7. In that story, Dead Girl from the X-Statix journeys into the Darkhold matrix or whatever and the Darkhold takes the form of a little…
I don’t really know how to write around this, or whether I should even try. Marvel has sent us a preview in which Namor takes a piss bath. The imprisoned, presumably former king of Atlantis is given a bucket of dingy, yellow liquid by his jailers – who claim they all “chipped in” to fill…
2024 seems to be the year the X-Office remembered Archangel exists. Warren Kenneth Worthington III did not get a lot to do on Krakoa. He died in the initial Orchis raid in House of X (and was resurrected). He co-led a five-issue miniseries, X-Corp, in 2021 that we didn’t love. And then for a while…
Boy, Colossus sure seems excited to see Wolverine. Look at the size of that bear hug! Do you think Piotr is thinking about that time Wolverine and Nightcrawler let Juggernaut beat the shit out of him at a bar? Or maybe he’s thinking about the time the X-Men let his sister die of the Legacy…
We here at ComicsXF are pretty much in the tank for The Power Fantasy, Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard’s new Image Comics series about six superpowered individuals who cannot fight or else the world will blow up. It is the perfect Gillen concept in that it is big and colorful and witty while also, at…
Earlier this week, we posted a series-by-series breakdown of each of the upcoming X-Men From the Ashes series. Then Marvel went and dropped two more. Jerks. Marvel on Thursday announced Sentinels, a five-issue miniseries by writer Alex Paknadel (All Against All) and artist Justin Mason (Spider-Punk: Arms Race), launching Oct. 9. The series will follow…
One of the many pleasant surprises of the Krakoan era was the budding romance between a post-Betsy Psylocke, now in her own body, and John Greycrow. Y’see, Greycrow used to be a real piece of shit. Except his idea of sloppy steaks at Truffoni’s was killing all the Morlocks. But people can change, no matter…
Goddammit, Al Ewing. It’s a phrase I’ve found myself saying so many times. Not because he did something to anger me, but because he is such a brilliant wizard who understands that comics is an inherently silly medium that also is inherently capable of doing powerful things. Like having a team of zombies play a…
In September, the X-Men and their friends are going to fight: Wow. Just wow. I don’t how to feel about that last one. Take a scroll through Marvel’s September X-Men solicits and see what you think. NYX #3 Written by COLLIN KELLY & JACKSON LANZINGArt by FRANCESCO MORTARINOSTAND TOGETHER OR DIE ALONE! To Anole –…
Marvel’s Blood Hunt is a story about vampires using magic to block out the sun so they can feast endlessly on the world and its inhabitants. But did you know there are good vampires, too? Ones who have fought to control their thirst for human blood and are attempting to use their experiences to fight…
