Look at those four happy robot kids on Justin Mason’s cover to Sentinels #5. Drumfire and Sawtooth each throwing a hand in the air, waving it like they just don’t care. Voivod looking a bit apprehensive but excited. Lockstep fully embracing the moment and striking a surfer pose. All while they ride a traditional Sentinel…
Julian Keller, aka Hellion, swung back and forth between hero and baddie for almost his entire on-page existence. Now it looks like he’s killed civilians, and he’s headed to the mutant supermax for it. Should our NYX regulars capture him or set him free? Find out in NYX #8, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin…
The next generation of mutants find work, or at least internships, at a startup that wants to read your genes and help you “fix” what’s “wrong” with them. Guess how that pans out in Exceptional X-Men #6, written by Eve Ewing, drawn by Carmen Carnero, colored by Nolan Woodard and lettered by Travis Lanham. Like…
Trivial is the fight with Doctor Doom, Sorcerer Supreme. For in a realm beyond our own, in the Dimension of Manifestations, a trial by combat brews between Eternity (the physical embodiment of our universe) and Oblivion (the physical embodiment of the void). The fate of our universe is at stake. Who shall fight on behalf…
The four potential mutant recruits known as the Outliers are the target of a new, vicious and unstoppable anti-mutant weapon initiative, a cold-hearted pack of tracking Sentinels based on dogs, who use their enhanced senses and chainsaw-like teeth to hunt down and kill mutants. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide as the Outliers face the…
Once again, NYX proves itself to be the series most willing to engage with the Krakoan era as part of a larger discussion about what mutant society looks like now. In doing so, next week’s issue flashes back to Crucible, the space where mutants on Krakoa were given the chance to die in battle for…

For our first Redesign challenge of 2025, we decided to do something a little different. Rather than pick one character for everyone to redesign as has been custom, we asked all the participants this time to pick a character they want to see get more attention this year. Everyone gave their character a new look…
Cable and the romantic lead of his current miniseries, Avery Ryder, make a cute couple. They’re both soldiers, they both have the technoorganic virus, they both have big, metal arms and cool weapons and say dry, cool, action-hero-y things. I hope these two kids make it, but given writer David Pepose’s elevator pitch for the…
When I became a man, I put away childish things. Except my Lego. I kept all of those. I have probably hundreds of thousands of interlocking bricks, dating to a police van I received as a gift in 1985 when I was in kindergarten. All of my G.I. Joes, my Transformers, my He-Man and Thundercats…
