Forgive But Don’t Forget: Scarlet Witch & Shadow King Reborn in New Mutants #23 & Trial of Magneto #4

December 2, 2021 by Dave Leave a Comment

Today marks the release of New Mutants #23 and Trial of Magneto #4, two unrelated issues set in the Krakoa era of X-Men that share thematic DNA looking at the paths to reformation and self-acceptance for Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, and Amahl Farouk, aka the Shadow King. I’ll be exploring the parallels and differences in these well known characters journeys, and how current events are shaping where they might fit into mutantkind’s Krakoa and the Marvel Universe going forward.

New Mutants #23

Writer: Vita Ayala

Artist: Rod Reis

Letters: Travis Lanham

Trial of Magneto #4

Writer: Leah Williams

Artist: Lucas Werneck and David Messina

Colors: Edgar Delgado

Letters: Clayton Cowles

At the center of these stories we’ll look at how far mutant forgiveness extends, and what accountability looks like for Scarlet Witch and Shadow King. I’ll start with New Mutants and Amahl Farouk, primarily because this run is one of the best New Mutants runs, and easily one of my favorite X-Men comics in 2021.

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?

Krakin’ Krakoa #139: 2020 X-Men Fast Track – 11 Biggest X-Men Stories in Dawn of X!

January 4, 2021 by Dave Leave a Comment

2020 was the first full year of Jonathan Hickman era X-Men comics, following the summer 2019 House of X / Powers of X status quo reconfiguration, and the launch of the Dawn of X. We started the year early in the formation of Krakoa with Professor X, Magneto, and Apocalypse convening with world leaders in Davos, and we ended the year after the X of Swords event and the transition from the Dawn of X into the new era known as the Reign of X.

All in all, 2020 was a consistently interesting year for all things mutant, with some fantastic highs, and unquestionably moments that never lived up to the impossible highs of House / Powers. I’ve covered it all here in my Krakin’ Krakoa series, where I review every X-Men comic the day of release, and cover bigger topics, questions and themes with weekend videos. For those who missed out, are looking to get into X-Men in 2021, or just want a recap of what happened, this video will cover off on what I remember as the most important moments in the X-Men comics of 2020, with some thoughts on their relevance for anticipated or predicted stories in 2021.

Krakin’ Krakoa #126: 17 Reign of X Theories, Pt. 1 — What’s NeXt for Hickman’s X-Men?

December 13, 2020 by Dave Leave a Comment

The conclusion of the X-Men’s X of Swords crossover event teased the upcoming Reign Of X, as the Hickman era of X-Men comics moves out of the Dawn of X and into the Reign. It’s a wonderful teaser, full of references and possibility, hot on the heels of a satisfying conclusion to the Dawn of X and X of Swords. Now, it’s worth noting that previous Marvel teaser images do NOT lock in stories or characters to come. The Mark Brooks promos for House/Powers and X of Swords tease things (like Professor X leaping into battle with a sword) that simply never come to pass. Nonetheless, it’s quite fun to think through what may come to pass in upcoming comics.

Today I’ll answer:

+ Who is on Marvel’s Reign of X teaser image?

+ What do these clues & hints mean for the next era of X-Men comics?

+ Theories and predictions for all things X-Men!
