A mountain of books and we're still climbing! X-Manhunt shows up in half of one book as X-Force has Sage decked out in the spy gear we never knew we needed.

Exceptional X-Men delivers one of its best issues, but misses out on the surprise while doing it. Where do you stand on the Sinister reveal?

Interview with NYX writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing

We're getting into the nitty gritty details with the two writers of one of our favorite X books, NYX! Collin and Jackson's character focused story has been a delight as a burgeoning mutant community builds in the big city of New York. We talk about the Hivemind's writing process and get into the details of the journeys these characters have been on. Plus we get some insight on what's in store for the next few issues of NYX, including a meeting with good ol' Chuck. AND a tease of an X-citing connection to another title that the duo is working on at Marvel, Power Man: Timeless
