Sometimes, if you stare at a thing long enough, you start to see something that isn’t there. So, in the process of putting together this preview and reaching for an intro, I called over my 8-year-old daughter, who confirmed to me, without prompting, that yes, The knight on this obvious-metaphor chessboard looks like Bluey. Check…

Well, it looks like Fabian Cortez is back to one, eh? X-villainy’s best obsequious twit is back and doing his fawning lackey who will betray you at the first opportunity schtick, using his ability to boost others’ mutant power to cozy up to yet another big bad. So much for the come-to-Jesus moment he seemed…
X years later, with Earth’s gods gone, only Ororo Munroe, the mutant god of storms, remains. She is a goddess driven mad by dark magic and grief.

So, funny story. We were at New York Comic Con on Friday with the intention of attending the X-Men panel, but the line to get in was so long that we were boxed out. Y’all hungry for that X-Men tea, apparently. But enough bitterness. After taking a look at Marvel’s “Shadows of Tomorrow” announcements, here…
How do you think Thor died? Can Doug’s voice make gods do his bidding? Or does Murewa Ayodele’s Akogun-but-with-Marvel characters thing just keep going regardless of what’s going on on the ground? If Storm’s still a god-level character, couldn’t she kill Doug? Come to think of it, if Carol Danvers has the Phoenix Force, why…

We’re just days away from this year’s New York Comic Con at the Javits Center. And while we’ll be providing our normal podcast interviews and website wrap-up coverage, we wanted to share our thoughts beforehand of some stuff we’re excited to see (or not see since we won’t be there all weekend). The Fantastic Four:…
A thing about Marvel basing the majority of its superheroes in New York is, after a while, you stop seeing local landmarks and everything sort of looks like the version of the city you see in movies and TV shows shot in Toronto or Vancouver – gray buildings and occasional park space that give the…
X years later, the Revelation Territories stretch from the Atlantic to the Mississippi — a mutant utopia ruled by the heir of Apocalypse, Doug Ramsey. But beneath the surface, rebellion brews. As a ragtag X-Men team strikes from the shadows, Revelation faces threats from within. X-Men: Age of Revelation Overture #1 is written by Jed…
Whether she’s known as Oya, Temper or Idie (or something new!), Idie Okonkwo stands as one of the most recognizable and successful of the new characters from the Utopia era of X-Men.
