Reign of X

X-Force (2020) #15: X-Force vs. Beast! | This Week in X

December 18, 2020 by krisis

It’s This Week in X for X-Force (2020) #15, released 16 December 2020!

X-Force (2020) #15, released on 16 December 2020, finds Ben Percy and Joshua Cassara returning to their pre-X-of-Swords plots to kick of Year 2 of the mutant intelligence division.

Is it a smooth transition? Why is everyone on both sides of X-Force so frustrated with Beast? And, what’s the newest deadly threat to our island paradise?

This week is driven by the question “What is X-Force?” – both meta-textually in terms of what the comic is delivering AND in the story when it comes to what X-Force is meant to do for Krakoa.

Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariha’s specially-nominated guest New Mutant, Harry, for this epic discussion.

New Mutants (2019) #14: Bad Dreams & Cloned Teens | This Week in X

December 17, 2020 by krisis

It’s This Week in X for New Mutants (2019) #14, released 16 December 2020!

New Mutants (2019) #14 is the debut of Vita Ayala as our new regular writer, and they bring a classic New Mutants cast plagued by bad dreams but determined to show young Krakoans that there is magic in the synergy between them. But, can they save Krakoa’s youth from what lurks in the shadows…?

We dig into the new rules of Krakoan society, the duality of Shadow King, the team’s bad dreams, failed synergy, plus our new segment: “Honey Badger Do Care About The Ethics of Resurrection”

SWORD (2021) #1: Krakoa’s Mutants Return to Space! | This Week in X

December 12, 2020 by krisis

It’s This Week in X for SWORD (2021) #1, making its series debut on 9 December 2020!

SWORD (2021) #1 sees mutants returning to space in a major way as Abigail Brand commandeers the SWORD station (courtesy of Cable) as a mutant launching pad into deeper space. But, who are THE SIX she has assembled, and what are they meant to find within the folds of space?

We had SO MUCH to say about Al Ewing, Valerio Schiti, & Marte Gracia’s work in this issue. Literally – we talked about twice as much material as what made it into the final cut of this episode… so, in a way, this is a “Greatest Hits” discussion. We cover every single mutant on the massive cast list, dissect fictional bureaucracy, and share our wonder in the magic of Schiti,

Marauders (2019) #16: Kate Pryde’s revenge against Sebastian Shaw! | This Week in X

December 10, 2020 by krisis

It’s This Week in X for Marauders (2019) #16, released 9 December 2020!

Marauders (2019) #16 finds Sebastian Shaw reaping what he has sowed from four specifically aggrieved parties – and you’ll never guess who exacts the worst revenge!

This issue is one long beatdown (or, if you were as amused by it as we were, a slaptstick routine), but the individual beats said a lot about identity, friendship, loyalty, reparations, and revenge.

Hellions (2020) #7 – All of Sinister’s schemes dissected | This Week in X

December 4, 2020 by krisis

It’s This Week in X for Hellions (2020) #7, released 2 December 2020!

We’re taking a slightly different approach to This Week in X this week – each issue gets its own video, released one per day.

Hellions (2020) #7 is another twisted delight from Zeb Wells as we see the ramifications of the full team wipe from last issue – and, especially, the results of dying in Amenth. What unstable resurrection spurs Sinister’s next mission for the team? And, what is the surprising reveal that makes Fallen Angels relevant again?

We’re intrigued with Sinister’s schemes and how they affect the newly “honed” team. (Honed how, exactly?) Plus, Mr. Sinister has… fans (😯) in Psylocke (🤔) and Clive (😂), and we see a familiar face at the end!

Join Peter, Tyler, and Fariha’s specially-nominated guest New Mutant, Harry, for this dissection (with a special guest appearance from our wayward mutant sister, Fariha).
