A cavalcade of comics I’m excited for

As a Native person, a New Mutants obsessive and a Dani Moonstar fan in particular this is a great New Comic Book Day. Moonstar looks great. I’m also excited for DCKO’s finale and the return of Speed Racer! What are you picking up today? #comicsky

Jean Grey: Welcome back, Bobby. How'd your visit home go? Bobby Drake: Not...great. My stupid parents think I joined a gang. Jean Grey: What? That's ridiculous! We're just a group of teenagers who dress in the same bright, easily identifiable colors, go by secret nicknames and solve basically all of our problems with violence. Jean Grey: A gang honestly.

Jesus fucking Christ.

There’s not enough romance drama in modern X-Men. It’s fine some characters are happy/committed. But navigating interpersonal and romantic drama WHILE being hated and feared is an important aspect that’s sort of missing. Some of this is fandom’s fault and I’m not sure there’s a solution to THAT.

Beast/Evil Beast/Jenn is pretty good and it looked like Psylocke was going to go there with Greycrow/Kwannon/Shinobi. But this is why you have Emma/Tony fans. It’s crumbs, but when it’s working it’s also trope-y and messy and fun.

I love people who get it.

The affair(s) in New X-Men are written with such empathy for all four people involved but I’m not excited for how it might be adapted in 97. It’s possible they pull it off, but X-Men online discourse is going to be so bad I’m probably going to have to brick my phone.

You know, I never liked Stranger Things BUT as a middle school teacher I have to hand it to that show getting an entire generation into Kate Bush. Gen Alpha is listening to Kate Bush B sides. The kids are (sometimes) alright.

I just wanted to read about the X-Men.

Episode 102: Shadows of Tomorrow Month 2 (All the New X-Men Comics of February 2026) | Escape the Mojoverse: An X-Men Comics Podcast

Shadows of Tomorrow enters its second month with SIX (!) new number 1s! That's maybe too many, but they're all pretty great. Storm makes some tea, Scott bonks his head, Gambit grabs a late night snack, and Wolverine has the worst heartburn of his life! #xspoilers

Lorna Dane: Alex, I “love” you. Alex Summers: Can you do it without the finger quotes? Lorna Dane: Alex, I love you. Alex Summers: Without the finger quotes OR flipping me off?

Thanks for giving us a shot!

I cant believe they let @benjaminpercy.bsky.social and Geoff Shaw get away with this panel. Wade Wilson: Deadpool is a banger, rest assured.

RIP Artist Jacopo Camagni - He passed away this morning at only 48 years old after complications during heart surgery. A horrible tragedy. Thanks to him for sharing his wonderful gift with us all, which will live on forever. My condolences to his Family, Friends, & Fans. Rest well.

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

The temple where the story began

Peach and Zach tell the fans thank you for reading.

I really loved how open ended Ultimate X-Men 24 was. Very slice of life, the story never ends, things don’t point to a clean end. Sometimes people are just gone and we are left adrift to wonder what it all means. A thoughtful, frustrating and brilliant ending for a book that was always all of that.

Incredibly blessed to have had amazing guests on EVERY episode in February! Thank you to everyone who gave us some of their time. The world is on fire but sitting with you in enthusiasm over comics and sharing our nerdy hobby was by far a highlight of the show so far.
