Ghosts and a medium lead to robberies. Not exactly unusual for a Scooby-Doo story. But there’s some more to this issue than meets the eye in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #4, written by Amanda Deibert, drawn by Scott Jeralds, colored by Carrie Strachan and lettered by Saida Temofonte. The truth about Jace’s mother has…

Zack has the week off so Adam is joined by Harvard Prof Stephanie Burt (of Taylor Swift course fame) to talk Kitty Pryde! Ranked This Episode:
Adam is back, but oh no! We got in a fight over a comic. Hope we can repair this podcast and there is no bad blood. Ranked this episode: Gambit vol 5 9-#12 (Tombstone Blues) X-Men Legacy 248-249 (Age Of X Aftermath) Mr & Mrs X #1-5 (Love & Rogue)
Listen, I know the timeline of when all these comics take place in relation to each other is wibbly-wobbly at best, but I’m pretty sure MODOK resigned from Orchis at the end of Fall of the House of X #2. But here he is in X-Men #34, taking advantage of the conflict between the mutants…
If you asked me about my fandom loves, it depends on the day. I might say it’s X-Men, and tell you about my love for Cyclops and Rogue. I might talk about Star Wars, and how Han Solo and Luke Skywalker’s hero’s journeys resonate with me. I might even talk about the pulp adventure of…
I revere Malcolm X. His autobiography changed my life. I emulate his pose and prose when I portend power projection – especially when I find myself in places where I’m assumed powerless. I don’t always succeed, but I always try. Magneto represents unapologetic authenticity. He experienced the worst of man; he knows how sordid humans…
Sometimes you just need to get away – but when you’re Harley Quinn, and your one true love could collapse the city with a thought, is the city ever going to really let you go? As the Fear State descends on Gotham City, Harley finds that sometimes, even the great outdoors is no escape. Harley…
Zack & Adam get into 3 more X-Men stories. I don’t have anything witty to say in these notes because we recorded this like 3 weeks ago and I forget if we made jokes. Let’s assume we did! Ranked this episode: Ultimate X-Men Vol 1 The Tomorrow People Messiah War X-Factor #87 (X-Aminations) New content…
In a scramble for metahuman supremacy, the self-styled Legion of Justice is the first to make an alliance, and they’ve got the would-be members of the Crime Syndicate in their sights. Are they truly ready to go up against their world’s most powerful supervillains, though? Given how quickly their first mission unravels…it’s safe to say…
The thing about Havok, and I love this, is that he’s actually pretty dumb and CONSTATLY get’s captured by a man dresser like an extra in a music video for The Bangles. Ranked this episode: Uncanny X-Men #97 (My Brother, My Enemy) Marvel Team-Up #69-70 (Havok, Thor) Marvel Comics Presents #24-31 (Pharaoh’s Legacy)
We love Al Ewing here at ComicsXF. The man spent the past five years telling compelling, powerful stories about Storm, Magneto and Arakkii culture. But apparently he also writes Venom? And there’s gonna be some kind of war among all the goo people? And Carnage is still a thing? Honestly, I haven’t cared about a…
