For the first time in New Orleans history, the city has declared a Mutant Appreciation Day festival and street fair, with all the music, food and fun the city is famous for. If the Hellfire Gala is filet mignon, this is corn dogs and lemonade. But are all mutants OK with this attempt at bridging…
In 1983, Marvel released a promotional comic called The Uncanny X-Men at the State Fair of Texas, in which Professor X and Magneto compete to recruit a mutant named Danny Wiley who has the power to transform into a winged centaur. It is his first and only appearance. Next week, the Uncanny X-Men go to…
When a brilliant but exploitative Hollywood director makes a surprise hit horror film featuring a serial-killing mutant girl, there are protests at theaters around the country and a rise in anti-mutant violence in those same communities. But is it “just a movie,” or is something much more insidious going on? Will a malignant force make…
The Dark Artery, gateway to an underworld of unspeakable evil, has taken one of the Outliers, and it will take the Uncanny X-Men to get them back, if they can survive the corruption process needed to enter. Plus, the secret of the Endling at last? Uncanny X-Men #16 is written by Gail Simone, drawn by…
It’s a good day for fashion, eh? Less than an hour after we posted our talented Redesigning team’s looks for a theoretical 2025 Hellfire Gala, Marvel released design sheets for this year’s Hellfire Vigil, a July one-shot serving as a year-later memorial for the First Krakoan Age and setup for some of the next year’s…
Fifty years ago, Ororo Munroe, the iconic Storm, made her debut in Giant-Size X-Men #1. Meanwhile, in Storm #7, she faces five legendary thunder gods: Thor, Chaac, Sango, Mamaragan and Susanoo.

You guys, it’s Maggott! You know, Japheth, the guy with the robo-slugs that eat stuff and who turns blue sometimes. He was an X-man, albeit after the point where joining the X-Men got you on cartoons and T-shirts and stuff. Here’s his Xavier File. We should probably update it. (This is a good reminder that…
All good things must come to an end, and as good of a thing as the Krakoan era has been for mutantkind, its time has come at last. The tragedy and triumph of FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X, the madness and mystery of RISE OF THE POWERS OF X, they have all come to…

“I will try again. It is all I can do.” In 2019’s X-Men #1, the first comic post HoX/PoX, perhaps Magneto, floating above the fray while ripping the roof off of the (then, supposedly) last Orchis facility on Earth, adorned in glowing white, his power easily overwhelming his opponents…perhaps he was a new god.

Pure evil in X-Men comics has taken many forms over the years. The Shadow King. The Adversary. Annihilation. They’re the villains who can’t be turned or reasoned with, more force than foe.
