Catch the Mean Girls reference in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Marvel’s Giant-Size House of M #1

Dan Grote6 months ago6 months ago02 mins

House of M, the Marvel event in which the Scarlet Witch, then a mutant and the daughter of Magneto, rewrites reality to create a world where Magneto rules and mutants are the dominant social class, turns 20 this year, which doesn’t sound right but is also painfully true. Also more than 20 years old? The…

Wolverine #3 Does Lone Wolf and Cub with a Wendigo, to pleasing effect.

Scott Redmond1 year ago1 year ago04 mins

Logan gets back to nature in Wolverine by Ahmed and Coccolo

Dan Grote2 years ago2 years ago04 mins

Krakoa took a lot out of Logan, especially toward the end.
