And Robert DaCosta using a Mission Impossible-style rubber mask.
Mission: Impossible began as a 1966 espionage TV series and ran for seven years, was revived in 1988 for two years and then inspired the series of movies starring Tom Cruise from 1996, and which kept the original theme tune in the heads of viewers, that otherwise[...]
She has no friends.
So she creates allies she can trust to be who they are, and in her control.
In previous issues of Krakoan-era SWORD and X-Men Red, we have seen the cosmic interference agency behind the Kree and the Inhumans, the Progenitors, attack Mars – or Arakko – unexpectedly, including taking samples of Cable's techno-organic[...]
Tomorrow sees the release of X-Men Red #8 by Al Ewing and Madibek Musabekov, the Mars/Arakko-set X-Men spinoff comic book, dealing with the aftermath of the Judgment Day event that wiped out much of the population of Arakko, as the Eternal Uranos committed an act of genocide in just one hour.
Well, I have it on[...]
Pope Exodus The First. I wonder what Nightcrawler will say about that? Over in Legion Of X, he is having his own religious crisis (again).
Legion Of X #4 by Si Spurrier and Jan Bazaldua
With the Arakkii having their own take on religion and faith that goes against the standard approaches on Earth, that Exodus may[...]
Bleeding Cool understands that the upcoming X-Men Red will indeed feature a very alive Magneto – as it will be set during Judgment Day #1 And so you will get the on-panel death of Magneto at the hands of Uranos that you were denied in Judgment Day Basically, it's like a Watchmen spinoff showing just[...]
As well as throwing in suggestions as to where this may all lead, with people resurrecting in other people's bodies, changing their age and disabilities, or coming back multiple times at once.
Today's X-Men Red #4 shows us that the mutants of Arakko do not get revived as the mutants of Krakoa do and, indeed, it[...]

But "as instructed" suggests that the moment has been prepared for Also[...]
Are there just things as coincidences? Especially when Abigail Brand is concerned? There I was, writing about today's Eternals #12 written by Kieron Gillen setting up Judgment Day, when I noted Inhumans: Judgment Day written by his mate Al Ewing from five years ago.
And wondered if there could be any connection as the Eternals and[...]
Not all X-Men gossip can be relegated to Mister Sinister's Red Diamond gossip sheet from Bar Sinister. Especially now we know he only gets it all by
But, yes, as predicted, Al Ewing is writing X-Men Red, the Red at least initially refers to the planet Mars, now renamed Arakko, and Stefano Caselli will be drawing the new X-Men book, as part of the Destiny Of X phase… okay, where are the CTRL-C, CTRL-V keys?
Last year, mutantkind took a bold leap into[...]
When Marvel Comics first ran the infographic for the upcoming Destiny Of X event kicking off in March 2022, Bleeding Cool guessed that X-Men Red may be a series set on the planet Mars, now known as Arakko, home of the Arakki mutants, and governed by Storm, Queen Of Arakko and Regent of Sol And[...]

The X-Men have battled valiantly against their powerful psychic foe, Cassandra Nova, since the moment she framed Jean[...]
In a bittersweet farewell that will surely leave fans wishing for an alternate universe in which the X-Men line wasn't relaunched, X-Men Red writer Tom Taylor revealed that he could have written the fan-favorite series "for years" if it hadn't been canceled to make way for the return of Uncanny X-Men.
"I'm truly sorry to see[...]
In X-Men Red #11, the finale of the series coming out next week, Nova is driven to the skies by the combined forces of the X-Men and the Avengers, and there she boards a helicarier and causes a nuclear explosion!
So now you know what happens if you light up in the bathroom and set off[...]
Jean trying to make sense of the thoroughly screwed up modern world, and somehow save it, has been one of the ongoing themes of X-Men Red But it turns out there's one thing Jean discovered about 2018 that we didn't get to see: Twitter.
X-Men Red writer Tom Taylor took to Twitter this week to reveal[...]
Were you holding out hope that, despite the end of all the other X-Men team books to make room for a weekly Uncanny X-Men, your beloved X-Men Red would continue? Sorry about your damn luck: X-Men Red is dead as a doornail, just as Bleeding Cool told you it would be (pip pip), and unlike[...]

The issue ends with a mob of zombies, including Storm's parents, closing in on her, which won't be good for her well-known claustrophobia.

Tom Taylor wrote a beloved run on All-New Wolverine and is currently the writer of X-Men Red, but with a big Uncanny X-Men reboot around the corner, who knows how long that job will last?
