Finally! One of the most genre-defining, important, and impactful comics of all time: I’ve reached the 1975 X-Men reboot. This is something I’ve been waiting for since I started and one of the things I was most excited to read. And it did not disappoint.

Hey everyone! It’s been a while but I’m back and there’s a lot to cover in this one so let’s just get right into. My disdain for much of Steve Englehart’s work is well-documented by now so I am very happy to say that I have come to an end…

Alright let’s get it out of the way; the infamous Clone Saga of the 90s is not Spider-Man’s finest hour. Sure, there’s been way worse Spidey arcs, but the convoluted 90s arc with Peter’s clone aka Ben Reilly aka Scarlet Spider is not remembered because it’s good. But I’m a…

Last time I focused on the Fantastic Four Sue had left the team and her husband and the Inhuman Medusa took her spot. I am very glad to say that less than 30 issues later, everything is back to normal. Although it took a lot of drama to get there…

It’s been a while since the X-Men or any mutants have shown up in anything I’ve read. Actually, I think the last time I saw any of them was when I last wrote about the original X-Men comic. After that unsuccessful run, the mutants faded into obscurity save for a…

The Black Panther has become one of Marvel’s most recognizable heroes over the past few years, mainly due to his ultra-successful solo film.
