When we last saw our teen heroes, the New Mutants found their friend and teammate Danielle Moonstar AKA Psyche (I’m… pretty sure she wasn’t calling herself “Mirage” at this point. I don’t know if Claremont’s tendency to have characters re-name…

Meet the New Mutants: Marvel Graphic Novel #4

It might sound dumb now, but back in 1982 when the New Mutants graphic novel was announced, I took that as a sign that The Uncanny X-Men was getting canceled. Please bear in mind I was just a teenager and…

Marvel and DC Present The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans (part 1 of 2)

X-Men #175 “Phoenix!”

I won’t deny that it’s tempting to spend the next six months recapping X-Men comics, seeing as this era is to my mind one of the greatest periods in comic book history. Of course, I’m biased, seeing as these were…

X-Men #150 “I, Magneto...”

3 dumb ways superhero comics tried to rewrite the past

Back when they started out, superhero comics didn’t care all that much about keeping track of who did what, mainly because it was the 1940s, they were printed on the cheapest possible material (which incidentally is why most old comics…
