So we’re just eating Warlocks now? We wondered in this week’s Age of Revelation roundup where Doug Ramsey’s selfsoulfriend is, and he (or a version of him or another Technarch being; who’s to say, really?) appears to show up in this comic, where he is unceremoniously killed by Hellcat and then shown being eaten by…
This is a New York Comic Con super special featuring Pepe Larraz, Kieron Gillen, Al Ewing, Declan Shalvey, Spencer Ackerman, Jackson Lanzing, David Marquez, Josh Cassara, Gerry Duggan, Chris Condon, and Justin Mason!
‘ 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…
All good things must come to an end, and as good of a thing as the Krakoan era has been for mutantkind, its time has come at last. The tragedy and triumph of FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X, the madness and mystery of RISE OF THE POWERS OF X, they have all come to…
It’s the final battle against Nimrod as the end of the Krakoa Era is just issues away in Fall of the House of X #5, written by Gerry Duggan, art by Lucas Werneck & Stefano Caselli, colors by Bryan Valenza, and letters by Travis Lanham. Scott Redmond: As the Krakoan era continues to crawl towards…
THE END IS NIGH! The Krakoan Age is nearly at an end … and what might be the final battle of the heroes of Krakoa. One last stop before the fall and rise come to their conclusion, and everything changes. X-Men # 34 is written by Gerry Duggan, drawn by Joshua Cassara, colored by Romulo…
It’s all coming to an end in X-Chat #15! In X-Men #33, the series continues to go out with a whimper from Gerry Duggan, Joshua Cassara, Marte Gracia and Clayton Cowles. X-Force #50 comes to some kind of a conclusion from Ben Percy, Robert Gill, Guru-eFX and Joe Caramanga. And Wolverine #47-48 features a fight…
Listen, I know the timeline of when all these comics take place in relation to each other is wibbly-wobbly at best, but I’m pretty sure MODOK resigned from Orchis at the end of Fall of the House of X #2. But here he is in X-Men #34, taking advantage of the conflict between the mutants…
The X-Men don’t play softball but do play hardball in the latest, bloodiest installment of the ongoing end of an era. Fall of the House of X #4 written by Gerry Duggan, drawn by Lucas Werneck and Jethro Morales, colored by Bryan Valenza, and lettered by VC’s Travis Lanham. Anna Peppard: We all know baseball…
Looks like not every Krakoa-era plot thread gets wrapped up in time for “From the Ashes.” There’s still the matter of Mrs. and Mr. Emma Frost. Or, more accurately, Tony Stark and Emma’s image-induced alter ego, Hazel Kendal. Now, I have no inside insight into the minds of Marvel editorial or Gerry Duggan or anything…
Cyclops and his new bestie Dr. Gregor take the fight to Nimrod while Doctor Stasis meets his ends in Fall of the House of X #3 written by Gerry Duggan, art by Lucas Werneck & Jethro Morales, colors by Bryan Valenza, and letters by Travis Lanham. Jake Murray: If you’ve read Fall of the House…
The Fall of X continues, and gets bloody in X-Chat #14! In X-Men #31, the X-Men and Spidey face Nimrod from Gerry Duggan, Phil Noto, and Clayton Cowles! In X-Force #49, no one’s favorite bromance is reignited from Benjamin Percy, Robert Gill, Guru-eFx, and Joe Caramagna! And lastly Wolverine #43 sees the Sabretooth War take…
The latest Fall is a wall-to-wall brawl, y’all! The X-Men fight for their lives and find unexpected allies amid their breakneck race toward their latest ending in Fall of the House of X #2 written by Gerry Duggan, drawn by Lucas Werneck, colored by Bryan Valenza, and lettered by VC’s Travis Lanham. Anna Peppard: Happy…
I’m gonna be honest: I’m not loving this Talon-inside-Synch’s-body subplot in X-Men. It’s another example of the woman having to suffer to further the male hero’s arc, and it came during a week when Gerry Duggan was writing a lot of women — Laura, Emma Frost, Riri Williams, Jean Grey — as props for their…
It’s always interesting to see Magneto fight a non-mutant superhero. What would they even have to banter about between punches? “So, you do spider-things, eh? Well, no matter, Magneto will see you driven before him, another enemy of Homo superior removed!” “You fancy yourself a god? See how easily I cast your metal hammer aside,…
