Did you know: The animated "Age of Apocalypse" two parter that aired after the comic book event actually inspired the comic book event?

I break down the mechanics of how that's possible for @comicsxf.com (sadly it doesn't involve any actual time travel) #XMen #XMen97

My greatest hope for season 5 of Stranger Things is for the Wheelers to get divorced and for Karen Wheeler to find the happiness she so desperately deserves. Let Ted keep wandering around that Target.

This is really the crux of the problem. Every time the x-men go back to the DoFP dark future well, all it really does is create a "hey, the x-men just kind of suck at what they're trying to do?" moment for me as a long time reader and fan

I have now seen both Freaky (2003) and Freakier Friday. The Alpha and Omega of 21st century cinema in one day.

There was something almost cathartic about confronting the issues of this event, and the X-Line at large, with the gang.

pretty much dead center on everything this line, and marvel at-large, suffers from but this specifically blows my mind.

this event vivisection made me happy I’m not really involved anymore - note, I actually *have* bought a few rando issues of this story because I buy any comic with Rogue where she’s not married, and this has given me that. but apparently the context is nonsense even if you’re steeped in the books!
The ComicsXF chorus sits down to have an honest chat about what's not working in Marvel's "Age of Revelation" X-Men event.

The @comicsxf.com team's chat about what's not working and why with the X-Men's latest dystopian crossover very much underscored why I haven't been reading it, including:

"A sharper, tighter focus on something that actually matters and tracks could have done this event a world of good." #XMen

I cannot properly describe the joy I feel in announcing that my friend ROGER LANGRIDGE (@hotelfred.bsky.social) is writing, drawing and lettering MUPPETS NOIR, starting in February! @dearbhlala.bsky.social's on colors, Declan Shalvey's done a variant cover & I get to edit the whole thing.

Candy Crush keeps showing me this Dropbox ad with Death Cab for Cutie where Ben Gibbard has a skullet, and I just think he needs to go where head meets scissors. Like I can see him balding from such great heights.

I stayed out of this one because I don’t have the academic’s brain needed to parse Morrison. @deathchrist2000.bsky.social was more than up to the task, though.
