HoX/PoX #8 - That. Cape.

There's truly something Sinister throughout this week's episode. That cape steals the show along with Xavier's heavy John Hammond vibes. We've got no more year 100 story, and we can really start to seer-selves understanding year 1000 - a wordy and somewhat difficult to understand reference. Topical!

HoX/PoX #3 - There’s Something About Moira

Oh, the life and times of Moira MacTaggert.

What? You don't know who Moira is? I mean, she's been in movies. The smart human lady. A mutant geneticist who's occasionally in the background of the comics, most recently having interrupted Charles' birds knowing an unsettling amount of information. I genuinely don't know how to tease this issue without giving anything away, so just enjoy.
