It is his first and only appearance. Next week, the Uncanny X-Men go to…

Marvel on Wednesday revealed details about four more of the books that are part of Age of Revelation, the latest in a long tradition of dark X-futures, in…
We live in the age of reboots. Is there a TV series from the ’80s and ’90s that does not have some new version on a streaming service or even a network (I’m not taking shots here, just stating facts. I’m an old, and have been enjoying the Matlock reboot starring Kathy Bates). But as…

Last week, Marvel gave us one of its classic teasers, showing Cyclops and a bunch of other mutants hanging from St. Andrew’s crosses like that one time the Reavers did it to Wolverine and we all loved it. On Wednesday, Marvel announced Age of Revelation, a fall event that asks, “What if Age of Apocalypse…
House of M, the Marvel event in which the Scarlet Witch, then a mutant and the daughter of Magneto, rewrites reality to create a world where Magneto rules and mutants are the dominant social class, turns 20 this year, which doesn’t sound right but is also painfully true.

Debuting in Erica Schultz’s 2023 X-23: Deadly Regenesis retro miniseries, Haymaker makes the jump from retroactive continuity to…
As Logan’s first teen-girl mentee, Kitty Pryde and Wolverine used to be close. Not in a sexual way – it’s not like Logan was one of the girls in the mansion – but there was a brief period where they had sort of a Batman-and-Robin thing going. Writer Chris Claremont is currently revisiting that period…
Set aside the whole body swap thing for a second. You wanna know how we know Psylocke’s come a long way? In late 1992/early 1993, Marvel published a three-issue story in X-Men in which the team went to Siberia for Colossus family/Omega Red stuff, and Psylocke (then Betsy Braddock in Kwannon’s body) is depicted on…
We’ve gotten a lot of new mutants (lowercase) in this first year of From the Ashes. Do you think they’ll ever meet?
