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…
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….

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. Jed MacKay’s Moon Knight has been very good. Can MacKay make Earth’s Mightiest Heroes worth reading again? Fingers crossed, friends. Drawn by C.F. Villa (X-Men)….

Being honest here, I am very tired and doing my best today. Iron Man is lost in space. I am lost in a hotel room. He is a zillionaire, I am less than that. But look at this, Christopher Cantwell, CAFU and Frank D’Armata have blessed me with a preview of Iron Man #10. Check…
