While Jason Loo and Sergio Davila’s X-Vengers lean more toward New Mutants nostalgia with their leadership of Dani Moonstar and Cannonball, the team of Seraphim they deal with leans more toward what the New Mutants became: X-Force. Sunspot, Boom-Boom and Warpath represent the latter team, with their extreme attitude and penchant for explosions. They’re joined…

Never let a crossover get in the way of your ongoing story arc. Unbreakable X-Men continues the Penumbra story from Gail Simone’s Uncanny X-Men, the city of the dead that lay not far from the Louisiana X-Men’s home like so many Zombie N’awlins Morlocks. What does any of it have to do with Doug Ramsey’s…
A mysterious force dares to tamper with the threads of history. Captain America and a squad of Marvel heroes leap into action to safeguard the founding of the United States of America. The fate of the nation hangs in the balance at the dawn of the Revolution, as these heroes must navigate the treacherous waters…
Last month, Marvel gave us a taste of the near future with Shadows of Tomorrow, the next era of X-Men storytelling that follows this fall’s “Age of Revelation” event. “Shadows” picks up in January with Cyclops returning to the present after his trip to X years in the future, armed with knowledge of how to…
X YEARS LATER … HOW IS AUNT MAY STILL ALIVE? For someone who started out as the frailest old woman in comics, May Parker sure has survived a lot. Terminal diseases. Foreclosure. Doctor Octopus pitching woo. And apparently, in 10 years, she’ll survive Revelation’s X-Virus. She’ll have to live in stasis because she’s some kind…
X years later, many secret events have taken place among the mutants of the world — including the one that changed Gambit and Rogue’s marriage forever. As Storm embarks on her quest to destroy Eegun, the devourer of Sorcerers Supreme, Gambit has a score to settle with Storm for the fate of his marriage. But…

This X-Vengers #3 variant cover by Edwin Galmon shows half of the original class of New Mutants – Cannonball, Sunspot, Dani Moonstar and Doug Ramsey/Revelation – as they were in happier days and as they are now. Three hardened warriors taking the fight to a former teammate gone mad with power. But it begs the…
Brian Michael Bendis is part of the reason I got back into reading Marvel Comics. Even when I wasn’t a Wednesday warrior during a stretch from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s, I had amassed a stack of New Avengers trades, along with events like House of M, Secret Invasion and Siege. They presented Marvel’s…

Binary #2 is written by Stephanie Phillips, drawn by Giada Belviso, colored by…
There are many alternate realities and possible futures in the Marvel Universe, and in many of those futures, Alex Summers has a different kid with a different mother. On Earth-1298, the Mutant X Earth, Alex and Madelyne Pryor have a son, Scotty, named for Alex’s brother, Cyclops. On Earth-13133, as shown in Rick Remender’s Uncanny…
Peanut butter and jelly. Rocky and Bullwinkle. Peaches and Herb. To the pantheon of beloved pairings we can (apparently) add Spider-Man and Wolverine, whose bond is so solid (and/or sales-worthy) that it can create a pocket universe existing entirely outside the “Age of Revelation” timeline. It is a universe in which Wolverine still does his…

It’s spooky season! The X-Men have no shortage of characters going bad, whether they’re seduced by their darker impulses, possessed by demons or dark magic, or just having a really, really bad day. And when characters go bad, they signify it with crazier and more revealing costumes. For Halloween, our team imagined some evil looks…
