Marauders #23 feels like it should be a much-needed attempt to right the series in the wake of the Hellfire Gala. Following the Kate Pryde-driven first act, Marauders has been an unfocused series searching for direction. Lacking a central plotline beyond the vague idea of Hellfire Company affairs (a bit of a confusing choice given…

REVIEW: Marauders #20 Bids an Unsatisfying Farewell to Storm
Ahoy, folks! Uh…avast ye scabbies? Look, I’m going to level with you here, that’s about the extent of my pirate lingo. What I’m trying to say is Hey! I’m taking over for WWAC’s Marauders coverage going forward, starting with the final pre-Hellfire Gala tale, Marauders #20. A rare Storm spotlight, it’s an issue I would…
REVIEW: Marauders #19 – Morlocks Take Madripoor
“Only two types of people in Madripoor: the rich, and those willing to kill you to become rich.” So says Patch, Logan’s alter ego in a classic display of classism. How fitting that it’s the Morlocks who come to the rescue of the poor in Madripoor’s Lowtown when the Krakoan mutants cannot in Marauders #19.
REVIEW: Marauders #18 – Fighting Gentrification by the Daylight
In Marauders #18, Emma Frost has taken the battle directly to Madripoor to hit Homines Verendi where it counts: in the wallet.
REVIEW: King in Black: Marauders #1 Battens Down the Hatches
I could have sworn Emma Frost was just planning a party while Kate Pryde sorted out the bad guys in Madripoor but suddenly we are off to save symbiote Storm and Cyclops in King in Black: Marauders #1? This is what I get for being too busy to pay enough attention to mainstream comics lately….

REVIEW: Marauders #16: Sweet Sweet Revenge
There’s been a lot going on for our friends, so it’s understandable that Kate Pryde had to put her promise to kill—or at least significantly fuck up—Sebastian Shaw on hold. But now that the swords have settled, the Red and White Queens can get down to business in Marauders #16.
REVIEW: Marauders #15: Stabbing Saturnyne? Right in Front of My Salad?
It’s a bit unusual for a multi-title crossover event to continue its story in the very same title, but here we are, leaping into Marauders #15, right where we left off.
REVIEW: Marauders #14: But First, We Dance!
Saturnyne’s game is afoot, but, while the rest of the Swords are finding their own ways to enjoy the eve of battle in Marauders #14, Logan’s being a killjoy.
REVIEW: Once Goddess, Once Queen — Vita Ayala Unleashes Storm in Marauders #13
Jonathan Hickman et al have been unsubtly hinting that Storm has a Big Role to Play, though everything leading up to now has implied little more than a chance of rain. To think, it only took a new writer whom I know actually cares about the character and writes her accordingly in Marauders #13 to…
