This week on Creannotators, I talk with New Mutants artist Rod Reis on a special Creannotators/Krakin’ Krakoa crossover! We talk all things Krakoa, differences working with writers like Jonathan Hickman and Vita Ayala, and what’s to come from the Shadow King!

Creannotators #50: “Dreadstar Returns” with Creator Jim Starlin & Inker Jaime Jameson!

June 1, 2021 by Dave Leave a Comment

This week on Creannotators, I talk with comics legend – seriously he’s one of my favorite creators of all time! – Jim Starlin and inker Jaime Jameson about the upcoming Dreadstar Returns, an all-new graphic novel from Ominous Press. We talk about the team’s approach to relaunching the Dreadstar universe, why Starlin continues to escalate cosmic stakes in work on Thanos and now Dreadstar, and whether Marvel Studios has appropriately compensated Starlin for his many Marvel Cosmic creations, including Thanos, Drax, Gamora, & Shang-Chi (among many more!).

X-Men: Curse of the Man-Thing Review! | Krakin’ Krakoa #183

May 25, 2021 by Dave Leave a Comment

X-Men: Curse of the Man-Thing is the finale of a three part “Curse of the Man-Thing” miniseries, spanning the worlds of Marvel’s Avengers, Spider-Man, and now X-Men. In “Curse of the Man-Thing” the adopted niece of Hordeculture – remember them? – is magically manipulating the abilities of the Man-Thing so the entire world, and possibly multiverse, always remember that whatever knows fear BURNS AT THE MAN-THING’S Touch!

Today I’ll Answer:

+ What does the Man-Thing have to do with Krakoa and the X-Men?

+ Who is on Magik’s new X-Men team, the Dark Riders?

+ What happens to Hordeculture here that might have major ramifications for the Hickman era of X-Men?

Nightcrawler’s Religious History & Christianity in X-Men Comics | Krakin’ Krakoa #181

May 19, 2021 by Dave Leave a Comment

From the unforgettable Dave Cockrum design to the swashbuckling heart of the X-Men in the pages of Chris Claremont and company’s comics, Nightcrawler has long been my favorite mutant. I remain elated by the opening sequence of Nightcrawler in X2: X-Men United, and forever lament the character’s general absence in the 90s animated series. As the character develops in comics, Kurt Wagner’s Christianity becomes a more integral part of his story, not quite as integral as say Daredevil’s Catholicism, or even Kamala Khan’s Islamic faith, but certainly notable among the X-Men.

Today I’ll Answer:

  • What has Nightcrawler’s religion looked like through comics history?
  • Is there space for Christianity on Krakoa?
  • What does this history tell us about what to expect in 2021’s Way of X and beyond?
