In 1989’s “Inferno,” demons and demonic objects controlled by Madelyne Pryor terrorize New York. Daredevil gets beaten up by a vacuum. It’s fun. In 2025’s Psylocke #10, a possessed Kwannon and a group of Yokai, or Japanese demons, prepare to terrorize the Hand in Tokyo. Some things never go out of style. Funny-looking demons terrorizing...

Oh, that’s right, Psylocke had a kid. We first found out about Himeko in Fallen Angels (2019), where it’s revealed she died overdosing on an AI-infused drug (See kids, AI is bad; don’t let it do your homework for you).

Cyclops and Psylocke’s relationship has come a long way. Think about it. Thirty or so years ago, a version of Psylocke that was a hybrid of Betsy Braddock and the assassin Kwannon tried to seduce Scott Summers by licking motor oil off his face, scaring him so badly that he ran away to Alaska (Fun...

Dan Grote — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 18:00:00 +0000

Rachel Summers isn’t having the best Fall of X. Separated from her girlfriend, lied to by Charles Xavier, shot by Charles Xavier. Just a bummer of a time. But she also doesn’t need Charles unmaking Krakoa and thereby erasing her first textual queer relationship. Either way, she is done with Moira and her bullsh–. Check...
