We need to talk about Hank McCoy.

Our bouncing Beast sure has made a jerk of himself over... well, the past twenty or so years of publication... but, with today's issue - he kinda steps over the Rubicon into irredeemability (at least in your humble host's opinion).

Also, Krakoa purges an inky blob... and Domino's dog (which I didn't even realize she had) has a pretty bad day.

Into the Wild Hunt!

Welcome to a new era for the New Mutants - we've got a new writer, a new direction, and a new threat! Our Old New Mutants are going to be training a crop of directionless and malaised New New Mutants -- and these newbies are asking some difficult questions... referencing the dearly departed (and never comin' back) Madelyne Pryor! We got lots to talk about...

It's the penultimate Juggernauting... where we find out just how Cain got his groove back (though, I think I've been saying that for at least the last two issues of this series!) I really mean it this time though... I think!

We're going to talk about what it means for Cain Marko to be unshackled from Cyttorak - and also dive into D-Cel's deniability problem. It's a fun chat.

Also: An amazingly insightful edition of the mailbag, that you gotta hear!

With the content of today's episode... we might wanna refer to this comic as "Maraudition". It's time for Sebastian Shaw to pay for his crimes... and, boy does he! We'll talk all about it... and what it might mean for the evolution of Call Me Kate.

Also: There's Some Great Mailbag to dive into!

Today we kick off our first Reign of X, Wave One, Number One... with a trip into (believe it or not) outer space! Whodathunkit, a current-year X book taking place in space!

What we have here is a wonderfully weird assortment of characters... and, if you ask your humble host, a kind of "eh" mission statement.

Let's give it a goo!
