I haven’t followed the #xmen comic for a long while? I have just begun the Age of Revelation, and I love Doug. Anyway, I find a few of the comics boring, as they discuss nothing interesting and only show us fighting, so I stop. I enjoy a few of them, though. What’s your favourite xmen comics now?

You’ve done it gorgeously.

#AvengersAcademy Platonic ?

The voice of our own inner critic can be strong. How can we break free from the mental prison? | Nadine Levy It’s hard, this being human thing. But the Buddha’s path, like many spiritual paths, is a hopeful one

#AvengersAcademy Quoting “The Vampire” by Baudelaire? I LIVE. As a literature nerd, I almost cry. The narrative for Emplate is so beautiful too.

Blob, Toad Northstar and Doop!? I'm in! #ExpatriateXMEN

#AvengersAcademy Come back, Marius. We want to see more of you. I just love love love love this comic more and more. It gives me joy in this tiring world.

Sue Storm: Be careful! We need to stop Onslaught, but he's got Franklin inside of him! Also Nate Grey, but it's harder to care about that. Nate Grey: Oh god, we're going to die. We're qoing to die because two old dudes couldn't stop rubbing their brains together and shooting psychic melodrama all over each other. Franklin Richards: First time being used as a human battery? Don't worry, my mommy and daddy will save us. They always do. Eventually. Nate Grey: Great, people who haven't been relevant in decades are here to save us. Franklin Richards: As the adult in this situation, I think you should handling this better. Nate Grey: YOU WERE BORN IN 1968!

SDCC: Marvel spills the deets on Month 2 of X-Men: Age of Revelation (and we have thoughts) - COMICSXF Read on to learn about the newly announced second issues of the X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION series, coming in November.

Time once again to round up some of our most popular coverage of the week at CXF, starting with Marvel spilling the deets on Month 2 of AGE OF DOUG, er, AGE OF REVELATION comicsxf.com/2025/07/24/x...

#AvengersAcademy What TERFs (if we can call her TERF) do not know is they harm women, when they fix the definition of women. This scene clearly shows a cis-woman calling a transman sissy (pun-intended). She associates women with weakness in order to slur Marcus, yet she also considers women weak.

If you see this, post a redhead

Yes! Amy! Yes!

#AvengersAcademy Poor Nathaniel. The Doctor (Doctor Who) would say time is a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey thing

#AvengersAcademy I just did my follow-up for Avengers Academy and, wow, as someone who teaches literature, I applaud the creator of this comic. As a lit nerd, this is so Hawthornean. And the Seventeenth-century witch hunter…he is doing DRAG, hunny.

#XSpoilers #XFactor Hi, Mr. Lusty Fireman.

#XSpoilers #Xfactor and the queen returns! Ms. Darkstar returns to the world!

Jovius on an operation table, forced to become a body for organ trade, because of his mutant power of multiplying his internal organs.

The fact that he is the part of the organ trade emphasises the present-day exploitation of the racialised other as well. In a sense, this is the haunting logic of plantation, with human body as a field of production.

Jovius, a blue skinned, muscular mutant, confesses about working with the government, in exchange of liberty and better future.

#XSpoilers The end of X Factor is touching. When Jovius ends his statement with "I've heard something good about Luxembourg", I almost cry. Cruel optimism is obvious here, and I think that's the point of the whole X-Factor, questioning the belief in American Dream in the time of inequalities.

Here’s everything we know about Marvel’s X-Men: Age of Revelation so far Marvel ramped up to Comic-Con this month by announcing X-Men: Age of Revelation, a sweeping event beginning in October that will remake not just the X-line but will draw in a number of major Marvel players including Spider-Man, the Avengers, Deadpool, Iron Man, and Cloak and Dagger. The basic pitch: 10 years in the future, Doug Ramsey, as the heir of Apocalypse Revelation, has remade the world, or at least the eastern half of the United States, in his image.

We've rounded up everything we know about Marvel's big X-Men: Age of Revelation event this fall into one handy guide.

#XSpoilers #XFactor #Xmen My Havok…My man…Alex…You’re so THICC. Yummy. More thicc Summers brothers, please!

Even though Spanish is also an official language in the States, Anglophone shows and actors still rule because of Anglo-American imperial legacies. Latinx shows might not be recognised as much, especially in the 80s and 90s on which Rupaul bases most of their references.

Regarding the recent crowning of our new #DragRace queen, I am really interested in Roxxxie's comment on the #Latinx contestants. I don't undermine Ginger's winning, but US. Drag Race and Latinx queens seem to be "oil and water", to quote Naysha Lopez. I just have my theory about this.

#XSpoilers #XFactor I just finish the recent X-Factor. First of all, I just love Ms. Granny Smite. #XMen

I’m back. I haven’t had time to watch Ironheart yet, but I will. Let me repost my FANTASTIC post first just to remind us that Fantastic 4 is coming.
