BatChat With Matt & Will: Batman and the Origins of Christmas
Happy holidays to all! As is our tradition, and as we aren’t going to run out any time soon, the week of Christmas we read three stories of the holidays in Gotham. One is a little holiday kinda-noir from Bat legends Denny O’Neil and Frank Miller, one is a perplexing animated series style Brave and…
Wanda’s moving up in the world in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Sorcerer Supreme #1
Twenty years ago, Wanda Maximoff said, “No more mutants,” and Marvel spent the next 14 years or so trying to figure out how to give everybody their powers back. Also Wanda’s rep was damaged for a pretty long time. That, too. Then there was the whole not-a-mutant, not-Magneto’s-daughter thing. And that time she turned the…
Writer Jed MacKay leaving Marvel’s Avengers with issue #36; Armageddon to follow
The year was 2023. The war between Russia and Ukraine was still in its infancy. The Philadelphia Eagles lost the Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs by a field goal but would come roaring back to trounce their cross-Kelce rivals two years later (GO BIRDS!). And, most importantly to this article, Marvel was trying…

EXCLUSIVE: This Karen S. Darboe variant cover for X-Men #25 puts the ladies first
“All the best X-Men are women,” the T-shirt says, and it’s true. X-Men – at least since Chris Claremont – has been a franchise built on powerful, beautiful women, and the men who snikt, zark and bamf for them. There are no Outback-era X-Men without Storm, Psylocke, Rogue and Dazzler. There’s no Blue and Gold…

Welcome to the X-Men, Santa Claus; hope you survive the experience!
The X-Men count among their number some of the most powerful mutants ever, including omega-level telepath/cosmic being Jean Grey, elemental Earth goddess Storm, and a short, hairy dude with knuckle knives. But one of the most powerful mutants ever has never donned the blue and gold of an X-Men uniform: Santa Claus. With comic sales…

A wounded Bat-Man investigates the forces of crime in Gotham, trying to get closer to the villains who are wreaking havoc on the city.

Our EXCLUSIVE preview of Marvel’s Expatriate X-Men #3 shows us the proper way to blorbo
One of my chief quibbles with “Age of Revelation” has been the loud use of deep-pull mutants without any real examination of why they’re there or what they think about the world they’ve created. And of course, it’s hard to do that when the story is only three months long and you have to zip…

Earlier this year, Marvel released Rogue: The Savage Land, a five-issue miniseries set during Anna Marie’s time in the Antarctic dinosaur jungle toward the end of Chris Claremont’s original run on Uncanny X-Men. It’s one of the many nostalgia minis Marvel has released in recent years, though the only one to feature Rogue in a…

You have entered the Batcave, and this week we’re reading three stories featuring the first appearances of those…
