I am far from the first person to say that 1975’s Giant-Size X-Men #1 changed the game. Len Wein and Dave Cockrum introduced some of the X-Men’s biggest mainstays, including Storm, Nightcrawler and Colossus (a minor Hulk character by the name of Wolverine also made his way onto the team). These All-New, All-Different X-Men have…
This episode is all about Gambit. Why? I mean, that’s quite the important question.

Doctor Doom has special plans for Earth’s mutants. He would like to discuss them with Storm over fine cuisine and expensive wine. What could go wrong? Storm #4 is written by Murewa Ayodele, drawn by Lucas Werneck, colored by Alex Guimaraes and Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, and lettered by Travis Lanham. Thinking is increasingly a luxury for…
While nearly all of Gotham’s vigilantes are affiliated in some way with Batman and his family, there are a few who stand on their own. One of those few is Ragman, one of the few canonically Jewish heroes in the DC Universe. Rory Reagan wears the suit of souls, a collection of patches that are…
Darkseid is dead. And to some, it looks like the rest of the New Gods aren’t far behind. Prophecies and destinies rear their ugly heads, as skies darken and declare the end of everything the gods of New Genesis and Apokolips hold dear. Big things are afoot, and everyone is scrambling — for power, for…
On Jan. 26, my local comic shop will close for good. “18 years is a long time to do anything, really, and after that long we simply do not have the fire in our hearts that we once did to give it everything it needs,” the owners of Level Up Entertainment in Mays Landing, New…
