Frank Castle’s had a rough couple years. Blame the misappropriation of his iconography by police and their white supremacist admirers. Still, it put Marvel in a bind. It tried to get out of it by introduing a new Punisher, an ex-SHIELD agent named Joe Garrison, and turning Frank into an agent of The Hand complete…
What amped Rhino up from criminal super-bruiser to rampaging disaster machine? We aren’t spilling, but it just amped up Spider-Man! And the only people who can help are Norman Osborn and ⊠Peter’s long-lost childhood best friend? Amazing Spider-Man #2 is written by Joe Kelly, drawn by Pepe Larraz, colored by Marte Gracia and lettered…
Deadpool & Wolverine was a tribute to all the crappy non-MCU movies that existed before and in some cases during the MCU. And yet, you know who wasn’t in it? Nicolas Cage. The Ghost Rider. Maybe Marvel couldn’t afford him. Maybe no one thought to ask him. Maybe he doesn’t get along with Wesley Snipes….
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…
Itâs closing time for Logan in Wolverine #50, written by Benjamin Percy and Victor LaValle, drawn by Geoff Shaw and Cory Smith, colored by Alex Sinclair and lettered by Cory Petit, with backups by Larry Hama, Daniel Piccioto, Yen Nitro and Petit; and Percy, Javi Fernandez, Matt Hollingsworth and Petit. Tony Thornley: Well, Matt, weâre…
Marvelâs latest Wolverine-mash-up anti-hero makes his debut in Hellverine #1, written by Benjamin Percy, drawn by Julius Ohta, colored by Frank DâArmata and lettered by Travis Lanham. If there is one thing that Marvel can never get enough of, itâs relaunching books as soon as possible to get a juicy new #1. If there were…
“Boy, it really feels like they’re rushing to end Krakoa,” say a lot of people reading a lot of X-books for the past year. And yet. Over in Benjamin Percy’s protected little corner of the island, the Sabretooth War has been going on for 10 issues. Ten issues of a bunch of Sabreteeth ripping through…
Most Marvel series don’t go 50 issues these days, let alone creator runs, so it’s pretty remarkable that writer Benjamin Percy got to go out on top with two 50-issue runs, of Wolverine and X-Force. The latter, of course, has already wrapped, but the former still has a couple more weeks in it before its…
Last time, in X-Force #48, the team awakened a clone of Beast whose memories date to when he was a member of the New Defenders, meaning he’s missed out on about three “We Didn’t Start the Fire”s’ worth of events. Don’t worry, Hank, we’ll catch you up. Defenders split, X-FactorThen the Mutant MassacreWarren gets some…
Wolverine and Sabretooth observe a longtime tradition in their rivalry as âSabretooth Warâ begins in Wolverine #41, written by Benjamin Percy and Victor LaValle, drawn by Cory Smith and Geoff Shaw, inked in part by Oren Junior, colored by Alex Sinclair and lettered by Cory Petit. Tony Thornley: Well, the climax of the Krakoan era…
The Fall of X continues, and mostly ends, in X-Chat #13! In X-Men #29, Doom invites the X-Men to dinner, by Gerry Duggan, Joshua Cassara, Marte Gracia and Clayton Cowles. In X-Force #47, Colossus finally breaks free of his brother Mikhail, by Benjamin Percy, Daniel Picciotto, Guru-eFx and Joe Caramagna. And Loganâs world tour ends…
Of all the X-Men, Wolverine was always the one who played best with the wider Marvel Universe. He’s fought alongside Captain America in World War II, hunted Wendigos with the Hulk and locked webs with Spider-Man. So it’s been nice watching him go on a series of standalone adventures in which he teams up with…
Adam does interviews with a lot of folks. Zack has not actually listened to the episode yet. Please let him know any exciting news that comes from these.
For years of publishing time now, Colossus has been puppeted by the Chronicler at the behest of his brother, Mikhail Rasputin. But now that Krakoa has fallen, it looks like Colossus has neared the end of his usefulness, and Mikhail has set his sights on a new organization to infiltrate … Orchis. Cool. Kill ’em…
Jean left the team. Beast turned out to be a war criminal. Logan was always sidetracked by solo adventures. Colossus turned out to be his brother’s thrall. Deadpool is working for Steve Rogers again. Guess it’s just us girls. Sage and Domino have got enough mad in them for Orchis, for Mikhail Rasputin, for pretty…
