‘ It was the last week of July, 2019. House of X #1 had come out and I wasn’t convinced. I loved the artwork. I was interested in what Jonathan Hickman was setting up. My growing group of comics-obsessed friends were already proclaiming it a hit. But I was still spending that week being the…
I love good all-ages comics. I’m a parent of two small boys. Both love reading, and the youngest has recently started his first ever pull list. It’s made the lack of all-ages books in general glaring to me. Frankly, there should be Spider-Man and Batman all-ages books being published at all times. While the latter…
Let’s celebrate 40 years of the New Mutants (and Ryan Reynolds?!?) in New Mutants #30 from a stacked team of creators!

Dingdang, this arc of New Mutants has been a corker. Vita Ayala and Rod Reis have performed a deep examination of who Illyana Rasputina and Madelyne Pryor are in the modern age, and how Limbo is a place one of them needs to move beyond while the other can repurpose it to gain agency. Check…
Continuing their unbeaten streak of kicking ass, Vita Ayala and Rod Reis are delivering the next in their fantastic run on New Mutants with New Mutants #27. This arc, “The Trials Of Magik” has been a fantastic and detailed look at Illyana Rasputin, the break-out start of the last decade of X-Men comics. Along with…
Illyana Rasputina tried to give up her role as Demon Queen of Limbo in favor of Madelyne Pryor, who actually wants the job. Now Madelyne, Illyana, Dani and Rahne are trapped in the realm that scarred her– and it’s the future, and it’s snowing hard. Magik continues her labors in New Mutants #26, with writing…
Hey, is Illyana still the Queen of Limbo? What if she’d rather someone else do it? It’s a triumphant return for our creative team (and perhaps less so for our hero team!) in New Mutants #25, from Vita Ayala, Rod Reis, Jan Duursema, Ruth Redmond and Travis Lanham. Liz Large: It’s been 3 months since…

Meanwhile, in Bana-Mighdall, Atalanta, Faruka, and…
The South Bronx is on fire, and a crooked cop can clear his debts if he helps it burn. But with each dirty deed, the Silver Coin gets hotter to handle. The Silver Coin #9 is written by Vita Ayala, with art, colors and lettering by Michael Walsh and color assists by Toni Marie Griffin….
