Earlier today, we learned about the @#$% Goblin, an inexplicably X-rated goblin existing in the world of Marvel's Infinity Warps as part of the Infinity Wars: Arach-Knight series But the Normie Osborn (that's the grandson of Norman Osborn in the MC2 Universe) in next week's Spider-Girls #2 might give Norman Russell a run for his[...]

What the heck is going on in the Spider-Man books these days? Not only did we get Full Frontal Solus in Spider-Geddon #4, followed by Deadpool making
After a pretty good 50-issue run, Old Man Logan finally met his end in the final issue of his series, Old Man Logan #50. It had to happen, what with the
Things are looking pretty grim in the penultimate issue of Spider-Geddon, the big Spider-Verse super-mega-crossover event that is sure to have lasting repercussions for the Marvel Universe In next week's Spider-Geddon #4, Spider-Woman has managed to return home with the Solus Crystal, only to fall directly into the hands of the Inheritors, who use it[...]
Deadpool, the crossover mini-series that finally answers the question: what if Marvel got people to shell out money for an ultimately inconsequential mini-series featuring two characters with massive pop culture relevance at the moment And sure, you might expect such a cash-grab mini-series to be relatively low stakes, but the life of Willie Lumpkin is[...]
The Fantastic Four have finally been reunited and returned after a long absence created by Marvel's spiteful response to Fox owning their movie rights storyline reasons But having defeated The Griever and ready to return at last to the mainstream Marvel Universe, the Fantastic Four must also say goodbye to the Future Foundation, a group[...]
Nick Spencer sparked months of fierce debate in the online comics community with Secret Empire, a Marvel super-mega-crossover event that revealed that Captain America was a Nazi… and that was just on Spencer's own Twitter feed Across the wider community, the controversy raged even harder Spencer has been doing his best to make up for[...]
The X-Men protect a world that fears and hates them, and yes, apparently, that even means saving anti-mutant protestors. So when dinosaurs run rampant
There are a lot of big productions dropping next year and one of the bigger ones is Captain Marvel We've only seen one trailer so far but the movie has jumped to the top of a lot of people's lists when it comes to movies they want to see next year One of the reasons[...]
Or then again, maybe this is just the latest retcon for Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, whose history and parentage has been the subject of more interference from Marvel editorial than any Infinity Stone could possibly muster.
We haven't been following that closely, but we're pretty sure the last Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver retcon revealed that[...]
It's Black Friday, that holiest of holidays where Americans put their lives on the line to obtain marginally better deals than they might find any other
Wolverine is finally back... er, almost... and his former teammates in the X-Men know it, with Jean Grey having detected Logan via Cerebro at the end of
Yes, it's been awhile since we've heard anything about the ongoing saga of the Disney / FOX merger, but Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has some thoughts about it.

Sure, we've heard a few different times now what is on the horizon for the MCU [possibly] with the merger per Feige, but, this is[...]
In the Marvel maxi-series Old Man Hawkeye, the titular archer is one of the few surviving Avengers in the Wastelands, a post-apocalyptic Marvel future which also spawned Old Man Logan A lot can change over the decades, but some things remain the same, such as the relationship between Old Man Hawkeye and Old Woman Hawkeye,[...]
What better time could there be to slip away from your loved ones and read about comics on the internet? We've got your back here at X-ual Healing, the weekly X-Men recap column, so we've prepared a 2-part special looking back at two memorable X-Men Thanksgiving-themed issues, both written by Scott Lobdell.
In A Very Lobdell[...]
Since the X-Men movies came out and Disney didn't have them, I don't know if you've ever paid attention, but Marvel kind of turned the volume down on the X-Men for almost 20 years Now that they have them more, what was told to me was, 'Oh yeah Our budgets on the X-Men books are[...]
Yesterday saw the release of Marvel's February solicitations, which revealed Captain Marvel gathering some new and old allies in Captain Marvel #2, along with a closer look at Carol Danvers' new Mad Max: Fury Road inspired costume Now Marvel has revealed looks at the costumes of Spider-Woman, Hazmat, and Echo on Marvel.com And in case[...]
We all agree with that, right? Well, good, because Marvel is collecting the 1985 Ewoks series by David Manak and Warren Kremer, or at least the first five issues, in a new TPB titled Star Wars: Ewoks – Flight to Danger.
It's the perfect companion to that Jar Jar Binks story they're releasing in January! Er, if they[...]
Marvel still won't give Chris Claremont an ongoing series to write, despite paying him to be a Marvel exclusive writer, but they sure do love selling collections of his old work, don't they? Solicited in Marvel's February solictations today is Iron Fist: The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu Complete Collection, collecting the work of Claremont,[...]
After teasing it since New York Comic, and revealing the creative teams earlier this week, Marvel has finally revealed all the juicy details about just what's going on during the Age of X-Man that springs out of the 10-part Uncanny X-Men: X-Men Disassembled storyline It seems that all the X-Men somehow end up in the[...]
Fans of the 2016 Drax series by Cullen Bunn, C.M. Punk, and Scott Hepburn (come on, there must be some out there!) will be pleased to know that the
Marvel's never-ending cycle of universe-rocking super-mega-crossover events is the bread and butter, or perhaps meat and potatoes, of Marvel's entire publishing strategy, and it has been for more than a decade now Marvel is already hyping readers up for 2019's War of the Realms, promoted as the biggest Marvel event of all time.
But in February's[...]
Marvel first hit comic shops? Five years feels like forever in the 24/7 hype world of comic books, and yet, in Marvel's in-continuity time, we're pretty sure it constitutes about three actual days Whatever the case, February marks five years since the first issue of Ms Marvel, and the series is celebrating with a special[...]
Marvel, however, or at least the Dead Man Logan creative team of Ed Brisson and Mike Henderson, seem to believe they know everyone's least favorite X-Man is, even if it does seem baffling that Wolverine would need to make an appearance in Old Man Logan February's Dead Man Logan #4 promises a "special appearance by[...]
Back in the good ol' days, one of the things that made the Marvel Universe feel like a living, breathing place was the minor crossovers between books, where the events happening in, for example, Thor, during any given month might be referenced, for example, in that month's X-Men At the very least, some throwaway dialog[...]
Ah, that Ahab, always Exterminating, that's what people always say about him.

• Ahab has returned to exterminate X-Force!
• What twisted schemes is Ahab conducting that has attracted[...]
But then the solicit goes on to say, "You think you know where a story like this is going, but you DON'T. Because Taskmaster and Black Ant are on the scene, and they don't have a problem with collateral damage."
So will May be the victim of a Marvel trademark shocking death? Or perhaps a critical injury[...]
With all this talk of War of the Realms and how it will be the biggest Marvel super-mega-crossover event of all time, one might be tempted to forget about other wars being fought in the Marvel Universe But as Marvel's February solicits have reminded us, War is everywhere, and one is coming to Avengers In[...]
Marvel's February solicitations have just come out, featuring the beginning of the Road to War of the Realms in Thor #10 by Jason Aaron and Mike Del Mundo Building for years as part of Aaron's various runs on various Thor books, Marvel finally made things official earlier this month, and they've gone all in, comparing the[...]
