‘Expatriate X-Men’ #2 review: tension and treachery on the high seas
A rollicking, swashbuckling adventure.

The Age of Revelation continues into its second month, and this week I reviewed Expatriate X-Men #2 by Eve L. Ewing. It’s a fun and action packed issue that gives Marauders by Gerry Duggan vibes. Check out my review for @aiptcomics.com

I’m so pumped for the upcoming Moonstar series. I did a quick test to try my Hellfire Vigil look for her turned into an action costume.

Maybe today is the day you will listen to this episode about Man-Killer where Joe, Chad and I discuss one of Marvel's least loved lesbians (LLL). I definitely find a lot of the writing of this character annoying but Nicieza gives her a moment in Thunderbolts which I really appreciate.
I had so much fun recording this episode of the Graymalkin Lane podcast with @saracentury.bsky.social about the character Katrina Luisa van Horn a.k.a. MAN-KILLER. We talk about her working with the Masters of Evil, that time she was working as a bartender named Wilma, and her overall hatred of men
