X-Men fans and collectors, I am going to say something controversial right now This issue right here, #129, is the best issue of X-Men of all time Not only is it one of the more powerful issues of the Claremont run on the book, but it is the first appearance of Kitty Pryde (my personal[...]

So while in X-Men #11 back in August, we had the Quiet Council concerning themselves with what are known, in the X-Men, as Fastball Specials When Colossus throws Wolverine at something, used and adapted over the years And now asking the question – could there be other Fastball Specials yet to be untapped?

Hello folks, and welcome to X-ual Healing, Bleeding Cool's long-running weekly X-Men recap column We're so close to the end of the hell-year known as 2020 that I can taste it Just a few more weeks and it will be 2021, and you know what that means: I need to ramp up clickbait production so[...]

I still think that they nailed that casting, and it is surreal to think that Frasier played Beast in an X-Men film Nuts The rest of X3 is not very good at all, but for those who are into collecting superhero props, you can own something pretty sweet from that third mutant film: Beast's ears[...]

Iron Studios is back with another amazing X-Men statue This time everyone's favorite blue elf, Nightcrawler, is teleporting on in to join his fellow mutants This statue will coincide with the massive $1,600 Sentinel vs X-Men diorama statue series that Iron Studios has been building for 2020 The statue will showcase Nightcrawler teleporting through the[...]

S.W.O.R.D. #1 is a new exercise in scene-setting that shines with character moments but falls short on clarity.

By introducing a less sturdy character for Cain Marko to feel responsible for, this series and Juggernaut #4 is trying to pull at the same heartstrings

X-Men fans will not want to miss out on this Marvel Comics figure as he has packed with an amazing amount of detail and accessories that will please any fan of this Ragin' Cajun. Gambit was quite popular during the 90s; it seems that the character has slowly died off and only appears when needed[...]

Yesterday, we mentioned that today's Avengers #39 by Jason Aaron and Dale Keown, prologue to the upcoming Enter The Phoenix,  might also show us the first prehistoric version of the X-Men As well as the origin of the Phoenix from Avengers One Million BC we saw a young baby girl with red hair abandoned, surviving[...]

Sword #1 asks a question that has often come up with superhero teams, especially X-Men teams, as powers start to drift and spread.  Do you really need Jean Grey and Psylocke and Emma Frost and Professor Xavier on the same team? Colossus and The Beast? There's power duplication, double up, and a sense of waste. What[...]

We see a young baby girl with red hair abandoned, surviving vulture and then wolf interests, becoming someone who runs with the wolves… Tomorrow's Avengers #39 Features The Prehistoric X-Men? The similarities to Jean Grey are clear Maybe she can talk directly to animals in their heads? But Bleeding Cool also gets the word that Avengers #39[...]

Who ends up a victim of mutant murder most foul this time in X-Factor #5? Plus: what happened to Rockslide, anyway? No discourse this time… just a gif I made from last night's wrestling shows. Now it's recap time! Sworn to sell comics for Marvel executives who feared and hated the fact that Fox owned their movie[...]

No discourse this time… just a gif I made from last night's wrestling shows. Now it's recap time! Sworn to sell comics for Marvel executives who feared and hated the fact that Fox owned their movie rights, The Uncanny X-Men suffered great indignities Still, thanks to a corporate merger, a line-wide relaunch, and Jonathan Hickman's giant ego,[...]

Last year, Bleeding Cool reported that Captain Marvel artist Carmen Nunez Carnero would be starting a new comic book called X-Corp in February 2020 as

Back in January 2020, Marvel Comics teased a new comic, Children Of The Atom, to be launching as part of the X-Men books ahead of the X Of Swords crossover From Vita Ayala and Bernard Chang, Marvel put a lot into it but it was ridiculed by some corners of the internet for having teenage[...]

The Krakoan resurrection protocols remain a clever bit of meta-narrative in the new X-Men comic books Dogged for years with a reputation for killing off mutants and then bringing them back to life, the revolving door of death was a trope ridiculed even within the comics themselves, with the constant refrain "I thought you died?"[...]

:)" But was Cates only kidding? Just a few hours later, Cates was asked by a fan how the X-Men characters will fare in his own upcoming crossover event book, King in Black Cates responded, "They gonna have a bad day." It's difficult not to view the two events as connected, especially in the context of[...]

Marvel's cards continued to shine the brightest, though, and in 1992, Marvel purchased their own trading card company Fleer, which then began producing the Marvel Universe trading cards exclusively. Like The Comics, The X-Men Trading Cards Were #1 As consumers bought heavily of the Marvel Universe cards, with the "Universe" series going all the way up to[...]

Possibly with Leah Williams or Vita Ayala as writer. This followed the word of a new Wolverine title as part of the second wave of Dawn Of X books from Marvel, showrun by Jonathan Hickman, as well as  Moira MacTaggert still meant to be getting her own book. Angel And Monet Finally Giving Us X-Corp In X-Men's[...]

In the words of the philosopher Alvin Joiner, "so it all comes down to this …" This may as well be considered a review for X-Men #15 and Excalibur #15 as well because there is one long story woven through twenty-two twenty-page installments That's not a compliment, especially given the meandering nature of this plot, the[...]

The X-Men/Fantastic Four series by Chip Zdarsky investigated that relationship and left Franklin as a mutant ex-pat, living with his family but readily visiting Krakoa and the other mutants Zdarsky expressly wrote the story as an analogy to a queer or trans experience, telling Precious Baubles that it was like a "queer kid being raised[...]

To give thanks for getting to take an actual day off from writing about nonsense like comics and pro wrestling, I saved up two weeks' worth of X-Men recaps to publish on Thanksgiving while I'm gorging myself on Turkey, mashed potatoes, candied yams, and multiple versions of pie That means there are six chapters of[...]
