Uncanny X-Men #1 Gets a Free Director's Cut… If You Bought It Digitally
Did you shell out 8 bucks for Uncanny X-Men #1 on paper? You fool! Clearly the digital version is the one you should have purchased, as according to a press release, just like Return of Wolverine #1 before it, any digital copies of Uncanny X-Men #1 purchased on the Marvel Comics App or Digital Comics[...]
Goodbye, Stan Lee [X-ual Healing 11-14-18]
This week, we lost Stan Lee, not only the man perhaps most synonymous with Marvel comics and comic books in general (though he irritatingly called them "comicbooks"), but also the co-creator of the subject of this column, our beloved X-Men. Lee's legacy is a complicated one, one which has been addressed at length in dozens of[...]
Stand Your Ground Laws Tested in Next Week's Immortal Hulk #9
Gosh, more politics in our Marvel previews! We're going to need a fainting couch if this continues much longer Remember back in the good old days of the 1980s when there were no politics in the comic book previews we read each week on the internet? In next week's issue of Immortal Hulk, Bruce Banner[...]
A Hulkverine Heel Turn in Next Week's Weapon H #10?
Despite being a genetically-modified killing machine with the powers of both the Hulk and Wolverine, Weapon H is a good guy. Or is he? In next week's Weapon H #10, Morgan le Fay asks the titular hero to reevaluate his origin story… Tricks from the evil queen, or is there something more there? After all, in February,[...]
In Next Week's Web of Venom: Carnage Born #1, Hell is Children in Cages
Marvel's previews are just chock full of political metaphors for hell this week, aren't they? Earlier, we saw hell compared to the American healthcare system in next week's issue of Weapon X Now, it's Web of Venom: Carnage Born which explains what hell is, at least for a young Cletus Kasady: being trapped in a[...]
When a Dying Cop Gives the Punisher his Gun in Next Week's Punisher #4
Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped the inappropriate association between police and The Punisher, with some police departments even using Punisher skull decals on their police cars, a frankly terrifying thought. So it's uneasy when The Punisher and the police are connected, like in Marvel Knights 20th, where a mindwiped Frank Castle has become a cop, or in[...]
Wait, There's Another Crimson Gem of Cyttorak Now? Next Week's Doctor Strange #8
The history of the gem, like much in Marvel Comics, is complicated There's been at least one similar gem, a "prototype" gem, which existed inside the actual Crimson Gem, way back in X-Men (the original series) #32 and #33 Another supplementary gem (or maybe the same one) appeared decades later in 1992's Doctor Strange: Sorcerer[...]
The Role of American Xenophobia in Next Week's Infinity Wars: Ghost Panther #1
It's a concept so dumb, Marvel almost had no choice but to turn it into a mini-event inside a super-mega-crossover event The latest Infinity Warp to get a solo book is Ghost Panther, a mashup of Black Panther and Ghost Rider And a preview of next week's Ghost Panther #1 explains this amalgamation's origins Playing[...]

War of the Realms, Bigger Than Secret Wars, Rocks the Marvel Universe in April
And it finally arrives in April, Marvel revealed Friday, from Aaron, Russell Dauterman, and Matthew Wilson, and promises an event of "unparalleled scale" where "no corner of the Marvel Universe will be untouched!", and likens it to Secret Wars But even bigger, we guess, because otherwise it would be "paralleled." The press release reads: This April, the[...]

Cyclops and Wolverine are the Last X-Men in Uncanny X-Men #12
Marvel has released the cover for the book, featuring Cyclops (the best X-Man) and Wolverine (the worst X-Man) on the cover, and declaring these two to be the "last" X-Men, perhaps lending credence to the theory that the rest of the X-Men will be off in an alternate Age of X-Man universe for the duration[...]
