The New Krakoa Era

This week we're wrapping up Al Ewing's run of SWORD with issues #9 - #11! Does a more space-focused book work in the Krakoan Era? What plans-within-plans does Abigail Brand have? And, perhaps the most important: what comes next?

[claps hands] COMIC BOOKS!

"I didn't lie....I went with your first impulse. Not the one where you talked yourself out of succeeding."

"Ugh. It is so annoying when you're right, and changing what I said is so you."

This week we're covering X-Men #5 as we continue our monster-of-the-week and set up for some dramatic, world shattering fallout. Meanwhile, X-Force #24-25 is similarly coverin- wait, sorry? Surfing? baby-napping? LAVA SHARKS??

Just remember....Wolverine is - first and foremost - an action movie as a comic. Everything else comes secondary.

Is that-? It can't be! Our boy Jeff Bannister is back in this week's issues of Wolverine! He and his unfortunate antics are a bright spot in a weird week of issues. We are also covering the second-to-last issue of Excalibur with #25, which runs and never walks.

"I need you to understand. I have your scent now. If I find you preying on us again when we should be dreaming....I will end you." - Jean Grey to Nightmare, X-Men (2021) #4 by Gerry Duggan.

This week is another special trio of issues. Not only is X-Men #4 a fun halloween monster-of-the-week, but we get the conclusion to the Shadow King arc of New Mutants and we all agree...it's a perfect example of how amazing comics can be and the stories they can tell. Listen in

Meat men! Meat men! Meat men! Russian Doll meat men!

X-Force is a VERY serious comic, of course.

This week we're diving back into the Wacky World of Benjamin Percy with X-Force #23-24! A crossover between Stephen King's Misery and The Magic School Bus, it's quite a fun time. After that we take a look at the rapid-fire Excalibur #24 as we rush towards its end.
