Vault Comics Pubwatch: October
Perhaps the most shocking (and amusing) thing to occur this month at Vault was Henry Henry’s takeover of the publisher’s Twitter account, ahead of the November release of Dark Interlude #1, the not quite sequel to Fearscape. “HH” had lots to say about Vault’s lineup of comics and creators.
REVIEW: Excalibur #13 – A Drawing of the Blades

In Soldier/Sailor, Colonel Jacob Stone is tasked with taking down Armon Seafarer, Prince Regent of Atlantis, and a perceived threat to the US government. This should be an easy job for a decorated colonel. But there’s a problem—Jacob and Armon have history, which makes being enemies very difficult.

REVIEW: Family Road Trip-Meets-Alien in Cable #5
X of Swords is here! The sprawling 22-part epic has arrived and, surprising no one, Krakoa’s favorite psychic teenager with a big space-sword is joining the party. As it is with most event tie-in comics, the question is how well it succeeds as both a piece of the XoS event and an issue of Cable…
REVIEW: New Mutants #13: Old Swords
The crossover event X of Swords has hit the New Mutants right where they live — their eponymous book with issue #13. And I take up the role of your regular New Mutants reviewer.
REVIEW: Hellions #5: Bad Bargains in Otherworld
So just HOW do the Hellions play into X of Swords? That’s a question that has been plaguing me since we found out exactly what the crossover is going to entail in X of Swords: Creation. Hellions #5 gives us an answer to how this band of misfit mutants plays into the sword tournament when…
Previously On Comics: Reinventing the Wheel
Welcome back to Previously on Comics, the place where we try to keep track of the things that have the audacity to keep occurring inside of the pandemic purgatory we find ourselves trapped within. I’m not sure if comics is especially quiet at the moment or if we are all too caught up in local…
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…
