It’s also an odd burst of 2000s nostalgia, as it largely centers on characters who were created during that decade, an era when Marvel introduced dozens of new mutants (lowercase N, lowercase M) in…

The 1965 Neil Simon play The Odd Couple, later made and remade into a number of movies and TV shows, posits that two divorced, middle-aged men who exist in an imaginary binary of cleanliness are fertile grounds for comedy. This variant cover by Justin Mason for NYX #7, out Jan. 8, posits a similar scenario…
