Tony and Emma reassess in our EXCLUSIVE cover reveal for Invincible Iron Man #20
Looks like not every Krakoa-era plot thread gets wrapped up in time for “From the Ashes.” There’s still the matter of Mrs. and Mr. Emma Frost. Or, more accurately, Tony Stark and Emma’s image-induced alter ego, Hazel Kendal. Now, I have no inside insight into the minds of Marvel editorial or Gerry Duggan or anything…
That’s (nearly) a wrap on the Krakoa era in May’s X-Men comics
One more month. One more month of Krakoa. One more month till we find out what’s next. One more month till we find out whether this Gail Simone Free Comic Book Day story has anything to do with anything. One more month (or maybe two) until we learn what that “From the Ashes” teaser means….
The Avengers join the battle in April’s X-Men titles. What took them so long?

Tony Stark feigns defeat in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Invincible Iron Man #9
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…

Each week, ComicsXF staff offer their recommendations for what to read. New DC books come out Tuesdays, everything else Wednesdays. Tony’s pick: Avengers #1: Jason Aaron’s Avengers run was bad.
