The evil ones confront Storm in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Resurrection of Magneto #3
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.

X-Men Red #5 Will Have You Screaming “Oh Shit!”
Good Comics, like other great literary works, can be read and understood on two planes: a literal one and a metaphorical/metaphysical one. Take the Bible: You can read it literally and get some great superhero action, or metaphorically and learn to, you know, love people or whatever. And while people’s interpretation of the Bible can too…

Magneto Is Not Malcolm X: The Limitations of Analogies & Good Intentions
I revere Malcolm X. His autobiography changed my life. I emulate his pose and prose when I portend power projection – especially when I find myself in places where I’m assumed powerless.
