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?

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).

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…

A while back, we here at ComicsXF were pondering the origin and frequency of ZARK, give or take a few Z’s, as a, or perhaps the, sound effect for Cyclops’ optic beams. Surely, ZARK must be up there in terms of mighty Marvel sound effects, along with THWIP, SNIKT and BAMF, right? In fact, what’s…
This week’s X-Men #22 ended with Cyclops getting a headache. It turns out he was about to engage in that time-honored X-Men tradition, PSYCHIC TIME TRAVEL!
