Remember Everett Thomas, aka Synch? He’s been through a lot. He’s back. And he’s really angry at Prodigy.

Life in New York is exhausting. Let’s dance. Good thing Dazzler’s in town. Score tickets somehow and queue for the show in NYX #6, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, penciled by Michael Shelfer, inked by Shelfer and Elisabetta D’Amico, colored by Raúl Angulo and lettered by Joe Sabino. And we’re back: The mutants-take-Manhattan…
NYX is a book about younger mutants – the ones most analogous to Zoomers – finding community as a post-Krakoan diaspora. It’s also an odd burst of 2000s nostalgia, as it largely centers on characters who were created during that decade, an era when Marvel introduced dozens of new mutants (lowercase N, lowercase M) in…
Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad mutant Manuel de la Rocha staged a fight between his ally Julian Keller and Jersey City’s favorite do-gooder, Ms. Marvel, to provoke a crackdown on mutants, so that radicalized, even-more-oppressed mutants would support Manuel’s fake revolution. See whether his evil plan works in NYX #5, written by Jackson Lanzing…
OK, let me see if I’ve got this straight: Sophie is the one currently starring apart from her sisters in NYX but who is still very much in on their current plot alongside Hellion and Empath. Esme is the one who went nuts on Kick and appeared to be in love with Magneto … or…
Despite the destruction of the Krakoan dream, Professor David Alleyne — codename Prodigy — finally has something he wants to keep: tenure at Empire State University, where he’s teaching recent mutant history to a mixed, and suspicious, class. In that class: the redoubtable Kamala Khan, New York City’s most sympathetic (and only public) mutant superhero….
Of all the From the Ashes X-titles, NYX has been the most willing to engage with the legacy of Krakoa, which puts it near the top of the list for best current X-title. And perhaps more than any other mutant, Empire State University Professor David Alleyne, the former X-man Prodigy, is tasked with unpacking what…
Kamala Khan wants to study, and to protect everyone, and to keep her secret identity. Laura Kinney wants to protect the mutants, and to carve up the haters and bad guys. Sophie Cuckoo, Kamala’s new college BFF, wants … what? And what about Anole? Find out in NYX #3, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin…

Now, a war-worn Wolverine will descend into New York’s criminal underworld to bring them back into the light. Who is the mysterious mutant fixer known only as Local? Can Laura Kinney stand alone against the dangerous…

This is a book about mutants living past the end of their world and into a new beginning. This is Ms. Marvel embracing her mutant life on the neon streets of the Lower East Side. This is Anole trying to keep his head above water. This is Wolverine in the shadows of Bushwick, protecting her…
You guys ‘member that time Wolverine got knocked into the sewers below the Hellfire Club by Harry Leland and he said, “Okay, suckers, you’ve taken yer best shot! Now it’s my turn.” Look like it’s Anole’s turn to declare that it is, in fact, his turn. His turn to do what? No idea. NYX, one…
Normally, as a true fan of The Big Lebowski, I hate the f*****g Eagles, man. Except in one instance: The 1985 soundtrack to the TV show Miami Vice. Nevermind that it was my mom’s favorite show at the time, or that it popularized Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” It also included two bangers from…
