We’re comics fans, so we all love a crossover, right? So why shouldn’t that expand to our podcasts? It’s ComicsXF podcast crossover week, so Matt is joined by Battle of the Atom host Adam Reck to talk about three Batman stories from creators whose work are favorites on BotA. John Francis Moore moves out of…
Classic costumes. Fastball Specials. A team-on-the-Blackbird scene. What is this, 1975 through 1991? Yup. We’re going back. Won’t be long now before the softball scene. Marvel has released unlettered previews of January’s Fall of the House of X #1 and Rise of the Powers of X #1, the two five-issue event series that are expected…
This January, two interconnected series will close out the X-Men’s Krakoa era: Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck’s Fall of the House of X and Kieron Gillen and R.B. Silva’s Rise of the Powers of X.

Note: This essay contains spoilers for the final episode of Disney+’s Loki season 2. Last week on the season (and perhaps series) finale of Loki, the God of Stories saved the entire multiverse with his bare hands. Weirdly, that’s not a metaphor. After trying for hundreds of years (also not a metaphor) to prevent the…
Has there ever been a good Mojo story? One that didn’t disappoint? This episode will not help your case if you think there has been. Ranked This Episode:
The last time we saw Heather Hudson, aka Vindicator, her husband Mac, aka Guardian, had trapped her in a Department H simulation to restore her mental health or something, in a story in 2019’s Alpha Flight: True North anthology written by – gasp – Ed Brisson. Welp, apparently at some point in the past four…
The mutant known as Abyss first appeared during the “Age of Apocalypse” as one of the big, blue guy’s Horsemen. Nearly a decade later, it would be revealed during that oh-so-pivotal Chuck Austen story “The Draco” that Earth-616 Abyss, born Nils Styger, is a son of the demon mutant Azazel and a half-brother of Nightcrawler….

While a lot of Batman’s best known rogues date back to his earliest days, the 80s spawned a handful of memorable nemeses, and none moreso than Scarface, the evil dummy, and his henchman, the Ventriloquist. This week, we’re reading three stories featuring Scarface, including his first appearance, his origin and the first appearance of his…
Floating dead-center in the eye of the Mutant Kaiju Kaorak (a not so subtle re-arranging of Krakoa), Storm floats, irises electric blue, electricity teeming from her hands, threatening Genesis with the good time of a fight. This is as audacious as it is silly: this manifestation of mutant cooperation, teeming for a fist fight where…
Tony’s pick: Star Wars: The High Republic #1: A year after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, Marchion Ro and the Nihil stand victorious. The once mighty Jedi are outclassed, and the Republic is on its knees. On the edges of the galactic frontier, Jedi Master Keeve Trennis leads a desperate assault against an invading force….
