Charlie: Fans are back! We missed a few weeks! LOTS of things happened. Let’s try and get back with it and cover it all. Vishal: I gotta say, nothing makes it clearer how bad it was without fans than the first show back with them. They could have booked a terrible card and it still…

When I started this website (well it was a Tumblr at the time) I made the overarching goal of talking about every mutant ever. The problem is, there isn’t a ton to most mutants. Sure I can sometimes squeeze blood from a stone and write 1200 words about Negasonic Teenage Warhead but there are a…

The world is fractured. Forge uses his powers of invention to devise the only fix: an all-new, all-different X-Force — Askani, Captain Britain, Sage, Surge and newcomer Tank — in off-the-books missions so dire, so integral to the fate of the Marvel Universe, there’s no time to stop for permission. X-Force #1 is written by…
The Legionnaires have only just been founded but they have a number of cases on their hands. A skinjacker running amok, a mischievous god on the loose, and Mother Righteous wheeling and dealing her way across Krakoa. Are any of these related? All signs point to yes.
