Sometimes you just have to let a cover speak for itself. But surely Shadow King isn't the villain, right?

Don't. Mess. With. Warpath's. Kids.
Although he was reluctant to take on the 'camp counselor' role at first, Warpath has flourished in his role and has taken to these kids better than anyone could have ever guessed! He didn't even hesitate going against rogue Brood!

We're shifting gears once again and going from massive galaxy-wide conflicts to close-up character dramas and how to handle trauma. IS the Shadow King responsible for Gabby's death? Will the Council allow her to be revived? And what's going on with Wolfsbane?

Sometimes....sometimes you need to just have a full villain monologue. Even if you are helping the Guardians of the Galaxy try to save the galaxy from Dormammu...

Grief takes many forms, some endless wells of sorrow, others boiling pits of rage. In Trial of Magneto #1, Quicksilver descends into the latter as he learns that not only is his sister Wanda dead but it was likely at the hands of their father, Magneto.

Last episode we began the Trial of Magneto and the investigation into the murder of the Scarlet Witch. The first 2 issues are stunning and beautiful in their own right as it navigates the world of grief, loss, anger, and rage.

X-Men #1 by Gerry Duggan can best be described as a feel-good saturday morning cartoon featuring your favorite superheroes. Not only does the team heroically save the day from an alien threat but they do so in one of the coolest ways possible: a giant mech piloted by the team, Power Rangers style.

"I just hope you all know what you're doing." - Captain America, Marauders #21
The surprise of the first Hellfire Gala has been revealed: Mars terraformed into the mutant planet Arakko. As the world reels from this news, it is a time of reflection. Of hope. Of fear.

The Gala ends...and the Trial is soon to begin. Reviled as The Pretender, the one who depowered millions of mutants, Wanda is in no short supply of enemies. But why make the move now? And who knew she was even there?

One of our favorite stories of New Mutants' tie-in to the Hellfire Gala is Warlock's tale. From his amusing copying of others to the reveal that he's doing so because he feels lonely and replaceable.
But ever the emotional rock, Warpath reminds him that some people are really just one-of-a-kind.

We've seen the big reveal but the Gala must go on! Continuing the first Hellfire Gala we have X-Corp #2, an emotional New Mutants #19, and a baffling issue of Not-X-Force (aka Wolverine #13). Will emotional payoffs keep the Gala rolling or will Corpo speak bring us down?
