Man, if I had a nickel for every time I wondered aloud on this website why Dani Moonstar hasn’t gotten a bigger push from Marvel, I’d have … several nickels. Sorry, this is breaking news and I haven’t kept a spreadsheet. Anywho, folks who checked out last month’s Echo: Seeker of Truth one-shot may have…
The X-Men haven’t had a school in seven years, since late 2018’s “Disassembled” story. Sure, there’s been plenty of teaching the next generation of mutants – in the “Age of X-Man” series NextGen, in the Sextant on Krakoa, at Haven House in Louisiana and in Kitty’s abandoned dance studio in Chicago. But the Xavier School…
After a full month of covering “Age of Revelation,” the ComicsXF all-star chorus took a break last week, partly because there were no core books out, partly because, well, it was exhausting. And we don’t just mean the pace and volume. These books are exhausting to read and keep up with, and if this event…
When an old enemy asks Batman for help, the Dark Knight and the Merc with a Mouth find themselves in an insane and absurd jungle full of cartoon ninjas, bizarre ruins and a giant typewriter. What evil mastermind lurks behind the scenes? Who could possibly be the wicked puppeteer who pulls the strings and makes…
“Y’all see that man behind me? Y’all see those abs flexin’ under that tight, pink shirt made o’ unstable molecules? “That’s my man. Those are my abs. I lather those bad boys in the shower every night after a mission, soap ’em up real good. “Y’all come near those abs, I take off this glove….
The thing about Spider-villains judging Black Cat for doing good-guy stuff is too many of them have had face turns over the years. Take Sandman, for example. He used to work for Silver Sable in the Wild Pack and has even been a reserve member of the Avengers. Doctor Octopus famously tried being a good…
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…
