Each week, ComicsXF staff offer their recommendations for what to read. New DC comics come out Tuesdays, everything else Wednesdays. Zack’s Pick: Way of X #1: Remember when Nightcrawler said he was thinking about starting a mutant religion? Whatever happened with that?

Kenneth Laster: Another week, another Falcon and Winter Soldier! I am finding myself torn by being entertained and engaged by this episode and also just…
Charlie Davis: My DNA feels like it was rewritten last week. But I am glad I made it to this week, even if I am feeling. Different. Forrest Hollingsworth: After last week I’m different! I don’t need to eat, drink, or sleep anymore! I’m gobblin’ up all the high spots, the low spots, the mat-based…

Loyal Content Consumer, I’d like to start out this week by apologizing for an error that was brought to my attention by my colleague Cori McCreery. In my review of Tidalwave Productions’ Tribute: Rush Limbaugh, I offered a script for my own Rush bio comic that was fundamentally flawed and tragically incomplete. I’d like to…
Picture it with me: It’s late at night, and I’m watching yet another TV show for the sole reason that someone said I was like one of the characters. It’s an anime, one I’m really enjoying. I’m already on the second season, and I start the fourth episode expecting more heartwarming anime content. And then,…

S.W.O.R.D. #5 Preview: Fabian Cortez is honestly incredible. He was introduced in X-Men #1, the best selling comic of all time, with an incredible ability. I believe it was former Comics Alliance writer David Wolkin who described him as a mutant with the ability to “make mutants mutant harder.” He teamed up with Magneto, on…
Tommy and Eva aren’t the pair you’d expect: he’s a down on his luck Los Angeles PI and she’s a flapper ghost who is helping him out. When they get a case that takes them to the Magic Manor to bring a runaway home, they wind up with more than they bargained for in Dame…

Matt on the inside is having to deal with escalating violence while on…

Kenneth Laster is a long time contributor to ComicsXF as well as a digital artist and cartoonist. He recently released his comic Champions Of The Wolf on Gumroad and sat down with us to discuss it. Zachary Jenkins: Kenneth, you’ve been writing for us for a while now, and have had your art featured in…
The Old James House turns on Ami. If she can’t conquer her own demons, how can she expect to conquer those that haunt its hallways? Perhaps demons aren’t for conquering. Perhaps we must fight alongside them. Also, a house fistfights a monster. Dan Watters writes, Caspar Wijngaard draws, Aditya Bidikar letters and Tom Muller designs…
