Don’t miss out! Sabretooth and Wolverine come to blows (and scratches), in a drag-out, no holds barred battle to the death. Wolvie may have gone too far, even by his own standards!
Legendary fight between Exodus and Holocaust

Exodus and the Acolytes bring Holocaust aboard Avalon, where he proceeds to destroy everything in his path.
Ryan reviewed Excalibur #87 May 16, 2021
That ended so abruptly wtf

Excalibur lands on Genosha and discovers mutants are being attacked and killed by humans with special bullets!
Ryan reviewed X-Force #43 May 4, 2021
A little bit all over the place but the Shatterstar and Rictor scene was actually surprisingly well written, especially considering the time period this comic was made. Hated the Reignfire/Bobby plot twist though. End of an underrated era by Fabian Nicieza
/43_small.jpg)
Cable agrees to help the X-Men with their battle against Legion. Meanwhile, Locus reappears and gathers the entire X-Team to save Bobby!
Ryan reviewed Excalibur #86 May 4, 2021
Best issue of Ellis’ run yet. The ole “Genosha’s in a Civil War lets go” is most definitely getting old but I think Ellis is setting up some interesting stuff up with Pete Wisdom and Rory. First issue that I didn’t mind Britanic either
/86_small.jpg)
Excalibur's plane is attacked en route to Genosha, where the team has been asked to investigate mysterious violence…
Ryan reviewed X-Factor #111 May 3, 2021
A little bit rushed but I think AoA is a perfectly good reason to rush a filler issue
Ryan reviewed X-Factor #110 May 3, 2021
I dont even know how to explain why I liked this issue it’s just so whimsical lmao
Rogue and Remy’s first kiss!!!

All out X-chaos. That last page with Lilandra and all the Watchers is just so cool

Legion has marooned the X-Men in the past! Will Cable and Jean be able to reach them?
So many great heartfelt moments. Can’t believe Cable knew all this time that Scott and Jean were Slym and Redd though
/20_small.jpg)
To save the Earth in the present, Cable has sent a message to the X-Men of the past. But will it be enough? Plus, Professor X teaches his last lesson...
Ryan reviewed Uncanny X-Men #321 May 3, 2021
Legion just raped his own mom. wtf.
Jean and Cable must use an amplifying machine to send a message to the X-Men in the past and warn them of coming danger.
Ryan reviewed Uncanny X-Men #320 May 2, 2021
Roger Cruz continues to be one of the best artists of this era. Love how powerful Lobdell depicts Legion
While battling Legion in the Negev Desert, the X-Men are transported back in time!
Ryan reviewed X-Factor #109 May 2, 2021
Mystique is such a good character
/109_small.jpg)
In Israel, Mystique lines up her sights on a new target. Only X-Factor can stop her now.

Until recently, Mystique was presumed dead. But Forge has picked up the shapeshifter's trail and along with his teammates, he follows it to Israel to uncover the truth.

Can Cannonball accept the fact that his own sister is going to be trained by his former enemy, Emma Frost? Meanwhile, a mysterious masked figure is stalking the halls of the Verschlagen facility in Germany…
I must admit, I hated the Adam X character before this issue, and I still do. He’s everything wrong with the 90s. Nicieza made me care about him just a little bit more. Really great and wholesome issue, really loved Philip here too. 90s X-Men art has a horrible rep, but this was easily that era’s prime. Terry Dodson, Roger Cruz, Carlos Pacheco, Joe Madueira, Andy Kubert, and Steve Epting were more
/39_small.jpg)
Bella Donna succeeds her father as the leader of the Assassin's Guild! Plus, Jean and Scott visit Scott's injured grandfather in Canada. Featuring: Adam X!
Much needed regrouping issue. Little bit all over the place but overall good. Kubert is great yet again
/38_small.jpg)
Gambit puts Sabretooth through a lethal Danger Room session. Meanwhile, Beast's research on the Legacy Virus yields troubling results.
Ryan reviewed Uncanny X-Men #319 May 2, 2021
Another 10/10 issue by Lobdell. Loved it. The scenes between Bobby and Rogue are great and he perfectly writes the relationship between two broken characters in Warren and Betsy. All while setting up Legion Quest. Shoutout Steve Epting for the great art
Iceman and Rogue travel to Iceman's home. Meanwhile, a romance between Pyslocke and Archangel blooms.
Ryan reviewed X-Force #41 May 1, 2021
Did not realize how truly messed up Feral is until these past 2 issues

The truth is revealed about the murder mysteries of the Callasantos family! Which Callasantos sister will prove to be innocent? Maria? Lucia? Neither?

Lucia Callasantos, AKA Thornn is arrested for the murder of her family. Can Cable and Sam save her from an inevitable fate? Meanwhile, X-Force has a new home base- Murderworld!
Ryan reviewed X-Factor #107 May 1, 2021
Obvious filler but telling the story through Guido’s POV made for some great laughs

Ryan reviewed Excalibur #85 Apr 30, 2021
Rushed and lazily written. That ending just left a bad taste in my mouth. Wish Terry Dodson drew this whole arc and not just 83

Kitty defeats Gravemoss in Nightcrawler's body while Shrill separates the two entities!

Gravemoss in the body of Nightcrawler attacks the rest of Excalibur!
Ryan reviewed Excalibur #83 Apr 30, 2021
Interesting start with great art. Loved the focus on kitty
/83_small.jpg)
Upon taking possession of the Soul Sword, Kitty Pryde becomes shockingly violent and wild!
Ryan reviewed X-Men Annual #3 Apr 29, 2021
X-Men Annual 3 is a very pleasant surprise. Edginton does a great job of writing Ororo and exploring what makes her tick, and I love how her dynamic with the Professor is explored. Gene Ha’s art is so sophisticated and detailed and I wish he had worked on more X-Men during his time
/Annual_3_small.jpg)
The X-Men attempt to rescue Storm from Shinobi Shaw. Meanwhile, Hydra holds Banshee’s old Interpol pal hostage!
Ryan reviewed X-Force Annual #3 Apr 28, 2021
This is the most attention Dani has gotten in a comic in years and it was much needed. The reveal that Bobby is Reignfire is pretty shocking but I doubt I will like the explanation for it lmao
/Annual_3_small.jpg)
MLF and 3-Peace go head-to-head against The People's Protection Agency and China Force, China's band of heroes! What will happen when Moonstar gets caught in the crosshares of Rabbit and Reignfire?
Ryan reviewed X-Force #39 Apr 28, 2021
Sweet and quick little filler but it’s beginning to bother me more and more he everyone seems to have forgotten about Roberto
/39_small.jpg)
The team is overjoyed when the spirit of Professor X is in the body of the new "Prosh"! Unfortunately, there are a few catches.
