For once, I have very little to say about a new issue of X-Men. That’s because X-Men #14 isn’t really a new issue of X-Men. Not entirely.
REVIEW: Two Sharp Takes on X of Swords: Stasis #1
It’s time to d-d-d-d-duel! We’ve officially reached the halfway point of the X-Men event of the year with X of Swords: Stasis #1. Two writers, two artists, two teams of champions, and, now, two reviewers: this is a comic so big we needed both Zoe Tunnell and Kayleigh Hearn to cover it! How fare our…
REVIEW: X-Men #13: Stronger Than Yesterday
Nothing stays dead on Krakoa. Not mutants, certainly. And not the past, either, as Apocalypse has so painfully learned. You can bury it in the heart of a pyramid or lock it away in a golden box, but the past always comes back, no matter what you do. So, open the box. Put on the…
The Wedding Issue: Hulkling and Wiccan
Aside from “Who would win in a fight?”, no debate gets comic fans more heated than the question of whether or not superheroes should marry. In this special revival of their popular column, Rebecca Henely-Weiss and Kayleigh Hearn take a trip to today’s spinner racks and look at the most recent times comic companies took…
REVIEW: Dracula, Motherf**ker! is a Technicolor Terror
Dracula is one of the biggest blockbuster shockers of all time, a story we know like our own flesh and blood.

REVIEW: X of Swords: Creation #1: Tens Across the Board
And here we are. Like the mutants taking their first steps through the External Gate, we’ve entered the mysterious world of X of Swords. The first chapter of the long-awaited, 22-part event, X of Swords: Creation #1 is an earthshaking beginning. True to its title, the comic is shining and sharp, and it vibrates with…
REVIEW: X-Men #12: The Secret History
X-Men #12 begins with a game, continues with a story, and ends with a promise. But aren’t all stories a kind of game? Summoner, the grandson of Apocalypse, sets the tone immediately: “We’ve learned so much about one another. What we love, what we hate…the things we believe…but now we come to the sharp end…
REVIEW: Empyre: X-Men #4: The End of an Empyre
The end of an empyre! Empyre: X-Men, that is. Can the X-Men survive the onslaught of the undead and the Cotati’s living doomsday weapon? Dani Kinney and Kayleigh Hearn survey the wreckage in Empyre: X-Men #4!
REVIEW: Empyre: X-Men #3: Is There Life on Genosha?
Genosha, once the graveyard for 16 million mutants, is now crawling with life! Well, alien and zombie life (half-life?), that is. Suddenly swarmed, the X-Men have called in a small army of psychics to stave both invasions. Can they succeed? Read on with Dani Kinney and Kayleigh Hearn to find out!
REVIEW: Empyre: X-Men #2: She Talks to Himbo Angels
The Cotati have invaded Genosha! And there they find…zombies! And…old ladies? The X-Men are in for one of their strangest fights yet, and we’re here to talk about it!
