What do you do when a long-running comic universe ends and years later, fans long for it? Revisit. Return. Resurrect. And so often, these can be cash grabs. But in these two cases, Ultimate Spider-Man and John Constantine: Hellblazer, the attempt to carry on these legacies is full of nuance, informed by years of storytelling from predecessors, contemporaries, and bold ideasmiths. Join Nico, TK, and guest Jake as they examine Jon Hickman’s reimagined Ultimate Universe before turning a pessimistic,

2024/06/20

X-Men ‘97 continues its streak of taking on the big X-comics storylines, this time rounding out its adaptation of the iconic Storm story Lifedeath with some choice re-workings of a few early 90’s issues of Uncanny X-Men. While, sadly, we didn’t get any Swedish europop added to the soundtrack this time around, there were still some excellent cameos, and even another magical girl transformation. As we move to the endgame of the first season, we’ll talk about what we loved, what we didn’t and what

From The Archives: Ranking Hot X-Men Relationships!

2024/06/13

The X-Men are good at fighting and winning and fashion and reboots – but also sex. The X-Men are real real good at sexy sexy times. And when it comes – ugh, came – to the Krakoan era, the X-Men celebrated the idea of romance, sex, and beginning new relationships like never before. The liaisons ranged from the boring and predictable (Scott & Jean) to the exciting (Scott & Jean…& Logan?) to the cringe-worthiest (Logan & that f&%$!ng surfer girl…debacle), but also TONS of people who aren’t these three

It’s hard saying goodbye to five years of storytelling we all became so attached to but somehow, the era that started our modern coverage has come to an end, and now Nico & TK must say goodbye. X-Men #700 or #35 or whatever isn’t really the goodbye the team hoped for and leads to a twisting, complex discussion with a lot of complicated feelings and a lot of questions. Then, with the new Marvel/DC format, the duo discuss DC with The Boy Wonder #2 (and the first issue, too), where they discuss the

Also, Ace Of Base? But beyond these core elements, there’s a ton of crazy cameos, some shocking character deaths, and over all, a few too many ideas for one regular length episode of X-Men!
