I’m gonna be honest: I’m not loving this Talon-inside-Synch’s-body subplot in X-Men. It’s another example of the woman having to suffer to further the male hero’s arc, and it came during a week when Gerry Duggan was writing a lot of women — Laura, Emma Frost, Riri Williams, Jean Grey — as props for their…
It’s always interesting to see Magneto fight a non-mutant superhero. What would they even have to banter about between punches? “So, you do spider-things, eh? Well, no matter, Magneto will see you driven before him, another enemy of Homo superior removed!” “You fancy yourself a god? See how easily I cast your metal hammer aside,…
Orchis has had mutantkind up against the ropes for months now. All they need to destroy the Krakoan dream is to win one last battle. The Trial of Cyclops is meant to be the death knell for mutantkind on Earth, but the X-Men aren’t likely to go down without a fight. The battle begins in…

The previous issue of Uncanny Avengers ended with Captain Krakoa being revealed as the evil Captain America from everyone’s favorite Trump-era Marvel crossover, Secret Empire. (We did Nazi that coming!) This issue – the final one of this volume – appears to open with another reveal: Evil Steve prefers to be called Grant now. “The…

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…

Krakoa has fallen. Mutants throughout the world are being hunted, shipped off planet or forced to have their powers inhibited. Charles Xavier may have given up the dream of human and mutant co-existence, but Captain America still believes the two can stand together. See the return of the Unity Squad in Uncanny Avengers #1, written…
Remember in X-Men Legends II when Iron Man was an unlockable character and it was weird because Tony Stark is very much not an X-Men character? Well, it’s 2023, and Iron Man is getting all up in X-Men business again. Only this time, it’s not on a tiny GameCube disc. He’s fighting mutant-hating fellow industrialist…
We’re heading into week 4 of the Fall of X. Mutants are dead, missing, on the run or, in a few cases, running sneak attacks on Orchis and then disappearing into the night. Psylocke and Penance are, apparently, two of those mutants. How did they start working as a pair? Which one is the by-the-book…
The Fall of X is here. In X-Men #25, Kate Pryde is on a mission, while the X-Men try to fight back. But is there even an X-Men any more? Written by Gerry Duggan, drawn by Stefano Caselli, colored by Marte Gracia and lettered by Clayton Cowles. Tony Thornley: What a couple of weeks! Interestingly,…
It’s the biggest night of the year for the mutants … but, unfortunately, it’s an even bigger night for Orchis.
