New Krakin’ Krakoa Reviews: Empyre – X-Men #2 & Giant-Size Fantomex #1

August 6, 2020 by Dave Leave a Comment

Episodes #67 and #69 of Krakin’ Krakoa are now live (ep #68 will go live this weekend! timing is hard!), as I review two new X-Men comics released this week, Empyre: X-Men #2 and Giant-Size X-Men: Fantomex.

Krakin’ Krakoa #65: Vulcan’s Secrets Revealed! X-Men #10 Review

July 30, 2020 by Dave 2 Comments

X-Men #10 by Jonathan Hickman, Leinil Francis Yu and Sunny Gho is the first in-series Empyre event tie-in, and uses the Marvel Universe invasion of plant-alien Cotati on the Moon to dig into the secret mysterious of Vulcan, Gabriel Summers, the third Summers brother. There are some fascinating revelations here, a number of which connect to my Vulcan theories pitched way back in Krakin’ Krakoa #44, and what I’m predicting is a major X of Swords tease.

Today I’ll answer:

  • How does X-Men fit into the Empyre event?
  • What did we learn about Vulcan, and what does it mean for Krakoa and the Dawn of X?
  • What does this have to do with X of Swords?

Should You Read Jack Kirby’s Eternals Before The MCU Movie?

July 23, 2020 by Karen Charm Leave a Comment

The Eternals – written, drawn, and edited by Jack Kirby beginning in 1976 – is visually stunning, a bombastic treat loaded up with the King’s singular creativity. For 20 issues (including one Annual), Kirby and his collaborators – John Verpoorten on inks and letterers Gaspar Saladino, John Costanza, and Irv Watanabe handling the first four issues, Mike Royer taking over both for the rest of the series, and Glynis Wein neé Oliver supplying colors throughout – have assembled a fun, if inconsistent, comic book epic that practically rattles with potential. The new Eternals: Complete Collection is worth a read, though best when taken on its own terms. [Read more…] about Should You Read Jack Kirby’s Eternals Before The MCU Movie?

Krakin’ Krakoa #62: Empyre X-Men #1 Review – Scarlet Witch’s Resurrection Protocols

July 22, 2020 by Dave Leave a Comment

When I asked Jonathan Hickman at 2020 C2e2 about writing X-Men Empyre tie-ins he seemed uniquely excited about the storytelling chances the mega event afforded him, and now we can see why in the deliriously fun Empyre: X-Men #1.

Today I’ll answer:

  • How does X-Men tie into Marvel’s Empyre event?
  • What role does Scarlet Witch play in the story, and what does her presence mean for mutant resurrections?
  • What is X-Corp and why does it matter?
