Krakin’ Krakoa #26: My Favorite 2019 X-Men Dawn of X Comic!

by Leave a Comment

I definitely would not have predicted Gerry Duggan and Matteo Lolli’s Marauders would be my favorite “Dawn of X” X-Men comic in 2019 – particularly ahead of two Jonathan Hickman written series with X-Men and New Mutants, but it very much has held steady as the comic most clearly filled with purpose, humor, and vision. Marauders feels like a book that knows where it wants to go, and how it wants to utilize the new status quo of Krakoa and House of X for a successful long run.

Today I’ll answer:

+ What the last two issues tell us about Marauders vision

+ Who the heck is Shinobi Shaw

+ Who the heck are those kids claiming to be ex Hellfire Club!

Krakin’ Krakoa #25: New Mutants #3 Review – Who Are The (New) New Mutants?

by Leave a Comment

The third issue of New Mutants is the first solely written by Ed Brisson with art by Flaviano, and it’s a trip back from space to Krakoa and a whole new gang of youthful mutants.

I’ve gathered the shift from the Hickman-driven classic New Mutants in space story is relatively divisive for some readers, but I honestly enjoyed the return to Krakoa with a new crop of youngsters.

The Best Comics of 2019

by 4 Comments

Maybe it’s just where I’ve been focusing my attention, but 2019 has felt like a lot of good comics, without the introduction of (many) absolute knockouts that feel like potential all-timers (Aug ’19 update: This is what I get for writing my introduction before House of X / Powers of X!). As a result, my favorites for the year are a mix of ongoing series continuations and new title launches.

Likewise, publishers Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, Boom, Dynamite, and Vault are represented with at least one selection below (Image leading the charge with just under half of the picks). [Read more…] about The Best Comics of 2019
