It’s always nice to see an Avenger and an X-man hang out and there NOT be a misunderstanding-based fight. Here, Tony Stark, a guy good for about a Civil War a decade, helps Betsy Braddock hatch a plan to take care of her The-Fury-It-Kills-Superheroes problem. Meanwhile, her girlfriend, Askani, is hanging out in the library….
When the doors to the House Of X opened, Cyclops asked “Did you honesty think that we were going to sit around forever and just take it?” Well the collective known as Orchis has spent nearly four years alternating between sitting around and taking it. Did you honestly think that’s all they were going to…
Cannot be more clear about the events of this preview than I have been in the title. Wolverine plays drinking games with big boys like Juggernaut, Blob and Strong Guy. These gentlemen are much larger than Laura (who, for the record, is not the Laura currently dating Synch, it’s the one who was accidently resurrected…
What a month for Victor LaValle. He’s got a new novel, his first since The Changeling, hitting shelves to a positive reception. The Lone Woman promises LaValle’s trademark mix of literary fiction expertise with genre bending suspense; taking traditionally lowly-regarded material and elevating them to a place of honor. He does this by the simple…
Dear readers, it is so important that you know the kissing parts and Dad parts of Marauders #12 are unrelated.

Bishop is no stranger to time and space shenanigans. The dude has been around. Still, everyone once and a while he sees something that surprises even him. In Bishop: War College #2 by J. Holtham and Sean Damien Hill, Bish wakes in a world where the X-Men are Black. There’s a lot we could talk…
Charles Xavier’s original five X-Men have a long history of advocating for, or executing, a genocide. We’re talking sentient races here. Jean and the D’Bari obviously, Cyclops and the Skrulls, Archangel and the whole human race at one point. Honestly it makes Beast’s unpleasantness on Terra Verde seem almost quaint. Not wanting to be left…
The inept spy is a Cold War classic celebrated in media from Get Smart to Austin Powers. Who doesn’t love the idea that total nuclear annihilation could be prevented by some clueless schmo in a suit and his hypercompetent Gal Friday? Writer-artist Matt Kindt explores this dynamic in Spy Superb, a three-issue Dark Horse series,…
As a boy born in 1991, my first, most vivid exposure to yearning was, of course, the relationship between Rogue & Gambit. It was nearly Evanglical in a way my parents would approve. These two are so dang horny for one another but to touch would destroy everything. Just like the youth pastor said… Anyway,…
I don’t watch anime. It’s nothing against it but I wasn’t a Toonami kid when I was growing up and now there’s just too many hours in the day. I am aware of a new (?) popular (?) anime called Attack On Titan where I think dudes fight skinless Goya looking monsters. Anyway that’s what…
Who is doing it like Victor LaValle? Honestly, the guy walks right into comics and says “listen nerds, I’m going to make you go WILD for a Sabretooth book”. And, deciding not to make it easy on himself, throws Nekra in the mix. The man is a monster and we’re better for it. Here’s a…

Marvel has exclusively shared with ComicsXF the above variant cover to issue #2 by Pablo Villalobos. More from Marvel on Storm & the Brotherhood of Mutants #2: “100…
Remember when Whilce Portacio jumped onto Uncanny X-Men and made everything look like the coolest thing that ever happened? He made us think Malcolm and Randall were something. It takes skill and the dude still has it. So why not check out what Whilce and Brian Haberlin are doing in X-Men Legends #6. It’s a…
This issue of Peach Momoko’s Marvel Universe-as-Japanese fairy tale appears to trip balls. That is all. Actually, that’s not all. Deets below. PHOENIX vs MAGIK!Things are heating up in Momoko’s Marvel Universe! The spirit world is divided. Its inhabitants, strange creatures called yokai, have chosen sides, and the two factions are on the brink of…
What do you think Logan is so huffy about in this picture? So Escapade has used her mutant ability to borrow his claws? There are mutants with his claws all over Krakoa. Hell, there are two Laura Kinneys right now! You ain’t special anymore, Bub. Anyway, Marvel’s made it quite clear recently: New Mutants is…
