Boom-Boom, Dazzler, Jubilee and Laura Kinney (the best Wolverine) have escaped 1. Dazzlerâs creepazoid ex-boyfriend Alex, who happens to be a vampire; 2. Alexâs ultra-creepy mutant fight club; 3. the Collectorâs disturbingly creepy space station; and 4. space. Now theyâre back on Krakoa. What will they do for an encore? Find out in X-Terminators #5,…
Laura Kinney (the best Wolverine!), Alison Blaire (the no-longer-so-disco Dazzler!), Jubilation Lee (surprisingly practical!) and Boom-Boom (boom, there it is!) have fought their way out of a vampire monster arena only to end up trapped between star systems, stuck in a quasi-harem on the Collectorâs spacefaring retreat. Whatâs a girl to do? Find out in…
Watch Dazzler free kidnapped victims from Otherworld while Wolverine tears up the kidnappersâ prison, Jubilee jokes about Dazzlerâs ample rear end and everyone except for the readers gets to marvel at Boom-Boomâs bare boobs! Weâre not kidding, and neither is she in X-Terminators #3, written by Leah Williams, drawn by Carlos GĂłmez, colored by Bryan…

Breaking up sucks. Sometimes you gotta just get together with your best gals and dance it out. Hi, 42-year-old straight guy here for X-TERMINATORS, the comic where Dazzler, Boom-Boom, Jubilee and possibly also Wolverine make bad decisions, blow shit up and fight vampires in a comic so presumably messed up it comes with a mature-readers’…

This year, the show is returning for year 2 on the final weekend of September, featuring more Chris Claremont, more animated X-Men voice actors and more twists on the traditional convention experience….
Comics are dumb (complimentary). Ranked This Episode
In which the Comics XF team gathers to remember the things big and small that made the Krakoan era of X-Men comics an entertaining, transformative and memorable one. For more Krakoan remembrances, please read Jude Jones and Adam Reck‘s writing on the matter. Sean Dillon I suppose we should start with the beginning: HoXPoX was…
â It was the last week of July, 2019. House of X #1 had come out and I wasnât convinced. I loved the artwork. I was interested in what Jonathan Hickman was setting up. My growing group of comics-obsessed friends were already proclaiming it a hit. But I was still spending that week being the…
Oh, that’s right, Jubilee was a vampire for, like, a really long time! Not reading X-Men comics from roughly 2004 to 2017 means I almost completely skipped Jubilee’s vampire phase, save for the tail end of it in the Christina Strain/Amilcar Pinna Generation X series. Hey, didn’t Jubilee have a kid, too? What happened there?…
Remember when Dazzler made the X-Men and then a giant xenophobic robot smashed into her and all her new teammates at the Hellfire Gala? More importantly than that, remember how much fun X-Terminators was? Seriously, come back to Marvel, Leah Williams. The X-line needs your feral energy now more than ever. Anyway, on Earth-65, the…

Tonyâs pick: Secret Wars: Battleworld #1: Forty years ago, Jim Shooter focus-grouped a bunch of kids and found out they loved the words âsecretâ and âwars.â He used that to create a story intended to…
As comics fans, we always hope we can find some magic arrow that will transform people who see movies adapted from comics into comics readers. The system is rigged against that, of course: Comics publishers â especially mainstream superhero comics â exist as little more than IP cannon fodder for their vertically integrated masters, feeding…
