Superman was pretty great, huh? We wanted to keep the good times rolling this week with an episode featuring characters other than the big guy who appeared in the movie. I really wanted to do a Batman/Mr. Terrific team up, but outside team settings, there aren’t really any, so we instead went with a classic…

Writer Peter Milligan and artist Mike Allred reinvented X-Force in 2001 with a run that was later renamed as, and always referred to as, X-STATIX. This was a biting examination of the reality show culture of the world of the early 2000s and is still shockingly relevant today. It was notable for being the comic that killed…
According to this one wiki I found and probably other stuff people have said interviews and whatnot, 15 years have passed between the time the Fantastic Four went on the space flight that gave them their powers and the present of the Marvel Universe. That means, if a story is set in 2025, the Age…
The problem with having a group of superheroes forming a coalition government with many of their enemies is that eventually, they have superhero plots to do while their enemies have scheming to under go. What does that mean? It means that 33% of your legislative body can be infected by a potential virus that makes…
Back in X-Men #7, Nightcrawler watched the ritualistic death/resurrection of Melody Guthrie and said he wanted to start a mutant religion. Wonder what he’s been up to since? Probably not experiencing any doubt or angst whatsoever… Si Spurrier, Bob Quinn, Java Tartaglia, and Clayton Cowles chart a new path in The Way of X #1. …

Batman has teamed up with pretty much every hero in the DC Universe because he’s, well, Batman. He’s also teamed up with many a villain. We’ve read stories where he worked with Lex Luthor, Ra’s al Ghul and Bane. But Patreon backer Ross Holmes very specifically wanted us to read a story where he teams…
Here are some of the things Krakoa’s newest resident aren’t: Gwen Stacy Deadpool The Batman Character Spoiler A character with any right to be as good as she is I am, of course, talking about Gwenpool, the alter-ego of Gwendolyn Poole, a comics fan from the real world who accidentally got brought into Marvel’s 616…
These past few months, for the average person, it’s been hard to look at anything long-term. There are too many questions. When will COVID-19 stop being a controlling factor in our daily lives? What happens with and after the election? Was 22 chapters too much Sword Content? Even within the smaller world of the comics…
The finale is here. Psylocke gets a brand new power. X-23 and the rest of the squad take on Apoth and his children, who will prevail?

The Red Planet bleeds as Arakko forges a new path in Al Ewing & Madibek Musabekov’s X-Men: Red #7. In my father’s study, perched above rolls of processed film and terabytes of photo files, a black and white picture of Miles Davis surveys the workspace. In it Miles, clad in an open-chest white jacket, surveys…
