What if your best friend was the devil? What would you do? Spray-paint pentagrams on the sides of big-box stores? Listen to awesome heavy metal music? Bully old ladies? Participate in blood orgies? Manipulate foreign countries to war? MURDER BABIES?! BABY MURDERER! If you’re Edith “Eddie” Miller, you and your sexy, pale, Edward Cullen-looking young…
Once upon a time, Doctor Doom made a hamburger multiverse and called it Battleworld. And in that hamburger multiverse there was an Inferno world where Madelyne Pryor went full demon. That Madelyne somehow survived the re-rewriting of reality and ended up on Earth-616, tangled with the time-displaced original five X-Men and, off-panel, was captured by…
Jean left the team. Beast turned out to be a war criminal. Logan was always sidetracked by solo adventures. Colossus turned out to be his brother’s thrall. Deadpool is working for Steve Rogers again. Guess it’s just us girls. Sage and Domino have got enough mad in them for Orchis, for Mikhail Rasputin, for pretty…
When I read Sebastian Shaw, I hear Matt Berry from What We Do in the Shadows. When I read Selene, I hear Connor Goldsmith from Cerebro. When I read the two of them in a scene together. Delicious. Check out our exclusive preview of Immortal X-Men #15, out next week, and get the basic deets…
Y’ever see two people on a motorcycle in traffic and wonder how come you never see Ghost Rider with a passenger on his hell-cycle or whatever it’s called? Wonder no longer, as this week’s preview of Wolverine #36 – part of the ongoing “Weapons of Vengeance” story – shows what it’s like for Logan to…
Remember in X-Men Legends II when Iron Man was an unlockable character and it was weird because Tony Stark is very much not an X-Men character? Well, it’s 2023, and Iron Man is getting all up in X-Men business again. Only this time, it’s not on a tiny GameCube disc. He’s fighting mutant-hating fellow industrialist…
We’re heading into week 4 of the Fall of X. Mutants are dead, missing, on the run or, in a few cases, running sneak attacks on Orchis and then disappearing into the night. Psylocke and Penance are, apparently, two of those mutants. How did they start working as a pair? Which one is the by-the-book…
The Ashen Combine sounds like a weird name for a group of villains. I keep thinking about a combine harvester that’s, like, ashy. Like maybe it got caught in a volcano. And it makes you wonder: What happened to the farmers who used this ashy combine harvester? A whole civilization wiped out. All that corn,…
Really, Marvel, Scarlet Witch? Twenty-four hours since the mutants got their asses handed to them by Orchis, and you give us a preview of the comic starring the last person who successfully decimated mutantkind? That’s cold-blooded. Anyway, looks like Wanda’s doing Oz stuff next week. Check out the preview, and get the basic deets below….
We’re long past the days of the bouncing, blue-furred Beast who quoted Shakespeare and pulled lighthearted pranks while simultaneously trying to cure the Legacy Virus. Since the ’90s he’s been on a downward trajectory of devil’s bargains and war crimes. Benjamin Percy steered into the skid, and has spent the most recent arcs of both…
Wikipedia defines Beisa as a species of medium-sized antelope found in the horn of Africa. It’s also the name of a new antagonist for T’Challa as he returns to stalk the streets of Wakanda. If you want to know more about this new volume of Black Panther, read Jude Jones’ review of issue #1, then…
Did you know Chris Bachalo is very good at drawing Illyana Rasputina, aka Magik? Maybe you didn’t because you came up in the 1990s and fell off comics and you only remember Bachalo as the Generation X guy. OK, well, picture Husk but taller and a demon anime princess with a huge Final Fantasy sword….
Listen, I know it isn’t SEO friendly but I don’t know how to write a headline that is more clear than how Beast is Nimrod now. I wanted to call him Beastrod but when you Google that you just get some upsetting fan art of that guy who joined your party at Hallow Bastion in…
Kid Cable returns to stop the events of the Hellfire Gala. Destiny offers unclear warnings to Rogue. And the breakout character of X of Swords is back. There’s apparently way too much going on in next week’s X-Men #24. Check out our exclusive preview, see if you can decipher Destiny’s dire predictions and keep scrolling…
She can take a cloud and tease out a thunderstorm. She can turn a tornado into a blizzard. And she’s not afraid to cut you. She is the most interesting mutant in the world. Siena Blaze. Just kidding, it’s Storm. We’re talking about Storm. Check out our exclusive preview of Storm #2, and get those…
