Everyone had a great time at the Hellfire Gala, right? Well, everyone who wasn’t the Scarlet Witch. Her body was found at the end of the event and the identity of her killer was a real mystery. After X-Factor does a bit of investigating at the start of this miniseries, a prime suspect emerges real […]
In case anyone was wondering just how successful Duggan’s tenure on “Marauders” was, this should answer your question. As the new writer on “X-Men” he’s effectively setting the direction for the line as a whole; though, I’m sure the expectation is that he’ll play nice with Kieron Gillen whose Quiet Council book “Immortal X-Men” also […]
This was the breakout book amongst the first batch of “Dawn of X” series and the quality continued through vol. 2. Vol. 3 was still fun, but it felt like things had settled into a “business as usual” kind of phase after Kitty Pryde’s resurrection had been addressed and Sebastian Shaw’s duplicity was dealt with.

The field test where Defense Force recruits get to show off their kaiju-killing abilities was meant to involve just that.

The writer is working with Stefano Caselli, who illustrates an issue of this volume, on the just-launched “X-Men Red” series which will focus on Storm’s leadership of the Arakii […]
Paprika used to be just an editor at Infernum Press, until her insight led to one of their releases, “Spice it Up,” becoming a monstrous success. Now she’s a driven Chief Creative Officer overseeing the book’s adaptation into other media, and showing everyone else in her office that she deserves the success she’s enjoying. The […]
Vol. 2 threw a surprising curveball into the series’ pleasant narrative with the demonizing of actual demons. The creativity displayed by writer Kanehito Yamad and artist Tsukasa Abe continues through the remainder of the arc as Frieren goes to confront the demons’ leader Aura and her magical Scales of Obedience while Fern and Stark take […]
Adam Strange is a man of two worlds: Earth and Rann, and he’s just saved the latter from an invasion by the Pykkt. He’s also just written a book about it and is going on a book tour with his wife, Alanna, to talk about the experience. Everything’s going well until he’s accosted at one […]
