Never let a crossover get in the way of your ongoing story arc. Unbreakable X-Men continues the Penumbra story from Gail Simone’s Uncanny X-Men, the city of the dead that lay not far from the Louisiana X-Men’s home like so many Zombie N’awlins Morlocks. What does any of it have to do with Doug Ramsey’s…

In 1991, six teenagers disappeared into a magical world based on a roleplaying game. Some, but not all, returned. In 2018, they disappeared once more — and once again, some, but not all, returned. It’s 2025, and people are about to go missing again. Could this be the point of no return? DIE: Loaded #1…

X YEARS LATER … HOW IS AUNT MAY STILL ALIVE? For someone who started out as the frailest old woman in comics, May Parker sure has survived a lot. Terminal diseases. Foreclosure.
