Welcome to Litsy!

Emma Frost rally‘s everyone to fight fascists and reference‘s Mean Girls.

“You could have left…maybe you would have gotten away. I‘ll never truly understand you”. “We didn‘t leave …because we belong! Because we say so.”

A massive cross-over event that sees the god of the symbiotes invade Earth. Eddie Brock/Venom is forced to reconcile with his place in the world and his role in saving it. Can he be a father to his son and a hero to the world, or is his violent path too much to put behind him? How can he rise to meet the King in Black when mutants and superheroes continue to fall to the void? Excellent storytelling and art.

The frantic multiverse travels of Dead X-men is enjoyable, although too high stakes to be fun. I read this based on the team make-up. So if you like Jubilee, Rachel, Cannonball, Dazzler, Frenzy and Prodigy you might like this. (I will never understand Prodigy‘s power. Someone explain it to me.)

I was very into Charles Xavier reading Sinister to filth.

I really like this series. It‘s messy and all over the place. But I like the characterizations and complexities of so many of these characters. It‘s big, and top heavy. But I‘ll miss Krakoa.

The Krakoan Era is technically over, but I'm still catching up! A lot of people think that it went off the rails after Jonathan Hickman left, but Kieron Gillen's Immortal X-Men is really great. Beautiful art by Lucas Werneck, too. The Quiet Council finally pays for its sins.

I absolutely loved this event. It pays off a number of narrative threads going all the way back to the origins of Krakoa in HoX/PoX. Mr. Sinister finally gets everything he wants and casts the universe into chaos. The story spans 1,000 years, blending real character stakes with playful space opera elements and high concept sci-fi. This is the X-Men version of Star Wars & Star Trek rolled into one.
