It’s the first week of the month and DC, Marvel, and Image Comics don't disappoint with their new releases. X-Men: From the Ashes drops another No. 1, DC's Absolute Power continues to affect heroes and villains across the universe, and another tie-in to the Energon Universe is being published.

While the MCU is currently centered on Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Victor Von Doom, one of Marvel’s most formidable villains, the comics are charting their own course. The beloved storylines and characters in Marvel’s comics are continuing to evolve, and this report will focus on that evolution.
Specifically, we’ll delve into the latest Avengers comic book storyline by Jed MacKay. The issue in question is Avengers #18, which continues from the previous installment that introduced Storm as the newest member of the Avengers.
The upcoming issue will feature a dramatic showdown between Storm and Hyperion, the Avengers’ current adversary who is portrayed as Marvel’s villainous counterpart to Superman. Additionally, our colleague Isaac Jansons from ScreenRant adds a personal perspective to the story, which we’ll also share with you here.
As mentioned, Storm recently joined the Avengers in the comics and immediately faced a formidable opponent: Hyperion.

And while the MCU is currently focused on the return of Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Victor Von Doom, one of Marvel’s biggest villains, Marvel’s comics are continuing on their own path as the storylines we love to follow are being continued, and these stories and characters are being evolved further, which is going to be the focus of this report as well.
The story we are going to focus on comes from the newest Avengers comic book storyline, which is being written by Jed MacKay. The comic book issue in question is Avengers #18, which follows up on the story in the previous issue, which introduced Storm as the newest member of the Avengers in the comics.
Namely, the upcoming issue will bring us a fierce battle between Storm and the Avengers’ current foe, Hyperion, who has already been described as Marvel’s own villainous version of Superman.

So far, X-Men’s newest saga From the Ashes has produced three comic books. X-Men by Jed MacKay, Phoenix by Stephanie Phillips, and the most recent, Nyx written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing.
I noted that Nyx would be the best comic book of the week. It had Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), Wolverine (Laura Kinney), and random mutants that deserve a chance in the spotlight. Not only did the premiere issue not disappoint, but it also showed that this will be the best comic book of 2024. Unfortunately, it will be despised as well.
Nyx No. 1 perfectly establishes all of the former Krakoans starring in this series and what they’ve done since. Despite everything the world has done to them, Kamala and Laura are still trying to be heroes. Anole got a job as a bartender, Prodigy is a professor at a college, and Sophie Cukoo is a student living her best life.

Marvel’s mutants have just lost their best chance at unity and self-determination. They’ve been betrayed, beaten, and scattered back into the world, far from their sovereign nation of Krakoa. For oncoming Uncanny X-Men writer Gail Simone, the thing these mutants need is some sexual healing.
“I love that Rogue and Gambit are central to it because their romance is super hot,” Simone tells Den of Geek when we chat with her in an exclusive interview. In fact, she wants you to feel all kinds of things when you pick up her new X-book. “If you’re familiar with my writing at all, you know that I really am fan of the roller coaster of emotion that we can get out of these stories. You’re gonna laugh, you’re gonna cry, you’re gonna be horrified, you’re gonna feel horny, I hope. I want readers to feel these emotions throughout the story.

The X-Men's newest comics, "From The Ashes," look to be banking on the 90s nostalgia that made the recent "X-Men '97" revival such a success. This safe approach, though, comes off (and undoes) one of the most experimental periods in "X-Men" comics ever: the Krakoa era.
"X-Men" has a premise that could be a straightforward science-fiction story, no capes needed, but most of their stories lean more on soapy interpersonal drama than big ideas. Krakoa titled that balance in the other direction. This new dawn for X-Mankind kicked off in 2019 with interlocking miniseries "House of X" and "Powers of X" and concluded in 2024.
"Krakoa" is the name of a South-Pacific island where Professor X, Magneto, and Moira MacTaggert create a homeland for all mutants (even the bad guys). Mutants proclaim themselves the next step in human evolution and now that they're one people, they prove that by outpacing human achievement.

She's the mutant murderess you never see coming, and this October, Mystique headlines an all-new solo series set in the X-Men's upcoming "From the Ashes" era.
Written and illustrated by award-winning creator Declan Shalvey, Mystique will sift through the dark underbelly of the Marvel Universe for an unpredictable tale of action and espionage starring the world's most mysterious mutant.
On Krakoa, Mystique reunited with her wife Destiny and forged new relationships with her children Rogue and Nightcrawler. Now that the mutant nation has fallen, Mystique's vicious methods are required once more to protect mutants everywhere. With a hit list as long as her rap sheet, Mystique's actions catch the attention of Nick Fury, erupting in a deadly game of cat and mouse as the elusive shapeshifter infiltrates her way across the Marvel Universe.
Complete with a new costume, Mystique's new saga harkens back to her beloved early '00s...

With a new era of mutantkind comes a new breed of mutant-hunting machines. This October, a squad of soldiers, each one scarred from Earth-shattering superhero conflicts and upgraded with nanotechnology, are tasked with apprehending dangerous mutants that threaten coexistence in Sentinels.
The five-issue limited series will be written by Alex Paknadel (Red Goblin) and illustrated by Justin Mason (Spider-Punk).
While the X-Men regroup in the wake of Krakoa's fall, the government revives their infamous Sentinel program under the guidance of Lawrence Trask. A mutant himself, Lawrence is cursed with visions of an apocalyptic species war and knows exactly which evil mutants will ignite it.
On the surface, his new line of Sentinels appear to be technology-enhanced superhumans, but the truth behind their creation is darker than you can imagine. As Graymalkin Prison becomes home to the villains they capture, the pieces fall into place for the birth of a major...

Taylor Swift Is Not in the Deadpool and Wolverine Movie - Main Image
After months of speculation about whether the global pop superstar will appear in Deadpool and Wolverine’s MCU debut, Entertainment Weekly debunks previous reports. It confirms this will not be the case.
The internet has been ablaze with rumours about Taylor Swift’s potential casting in the highly anticipated movie, a frenzy that began last year during her record-breaking The Eras Tour.
Fans have been feverishly searching for Easter eggs, speculating which role she could play, from Lady Deadpool to mutant songstress Dazzler. The excitement peaked when she was spotted with movie stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy at an NFL game in October 2023.
While Reynolds and Levy have neither confirmed nor denied any participation by Swift in the movie, Marvel seemingly has leaned into the buzz.

Evolution. Mutation. Change.
These concepts have always been at the heart of the X-Men story. Even the fairly straightforward Silver Age adventures by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made in the 1960s positioned mutants as the next stage in human evolution. Yet, rarely has the franchise made a leap as pronounced as it did in 2019, when writer Jonathan Hickman came on board to radically alter all of Marvel’s mutants with the game-changing House of X/Powers of X event books.
Five years later, with the release of X-Men #35, which is also the 700th issue of Uncanny X-Men as a whole, the Krakoa era has come to an end.

He has all of the bombast of Jack Kirby at his Kirbyest, the taste for the occult of Grant Morrison, the unrestrained imagination of Jim Starlin, the visual language of Alan Davis mixed with Christopher Priest, and the methodical formalism of Jonathan Hickman.
Ewing started his career on 2000 Ad books before quickly finding himself in the Marvel stable. After a multiverse-redefining run on Ultimates and giving Bruce Banner’s world a fresh coat of paint in Immortal Hulk, Ewing joined the X-Office to write several books, including X-Men Red and Resurrection of Magneto.

When Secret Wars writer Jonathan Hickman relaunched the X-Men line of comic books by sending the heroes to Krakoa and making them immortal, there was one subtle change which generated a lot of discussion.
After decades of the trio being embroiled in a love triangle, it was strongly hinted that Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean Grey's new life on the island nation had resulted in them taking their relationship down a very...modern...route.
Yes, the insinuation was that they were a "throuple," with Scott and Logan presumably sharing Jean (or vice versa).
The biggest hint in that respect came when the floorplan of the "Summer House" confirmed that their bedrooms were linked, with Jean's in the middle (something unique to their rooms only).

Uncanny Timing? Marvel's New Dazzler Comics Revive Taylor Swift Deadpool Cameo Rumors - Main Image
Marvel recently announced the return of mutant pop princess Dazzler in a four-part comic book series where she embarks on a world tour, joined by her fellow mutants Domino, Strong Guy, Multiple Man, Shark Girl, and Wind Dancer.
While welcomed by fans, the timing of the announcement and the choice of mutant to highlight in the new X-Men era From the Ashes is odd, considering speculations of Dazzler’s appearance in the upcoming blockbuster Deadpool and Wolverine, with no less than the global pop superstar Taylor Swift rumoured to play Alison Blaire.
Dazzler writer Jason Loo also teases fans to "get ready to sing along to some new, original songs off of her new album! Some of them may be about her exes."

in the X-Men's highly anticipated "From the Ashes" era, Storm will be brought to life by Murewa Ayodele, the acclaimed writer behind Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods who made his Marvel debut last year with Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood and I Am Iron Man.
Joining him will be Lucas Werneck, the artist known for his work on recent X-Men epics like Immortal X-Men and Sins of Sinister. The artist has also designed a stunning new costume for Storm as she ventures into solo storytelling.

Big changes are coming to the world of the X-Men later this year, including the introduction of an officially sanctioned mutant strike force in X-Force.
Now, you can check out all-new variant covers for the debut issue including a group shot by Mahmud Asrar, the first in a series of character pinups by Marcus To, and a "Windowshades" variant cover by Luciano Vecchio.

Whether they join for fame, money, or to truly make a difference, they'll band together against emerging mutant factions like the Mutant Underground and X-Term. But mutants know better than anyone to be wary of political machinations, and their loyalty will be tested right off the bat when they...

Whether it's the New Mutants or Hellions, discovering you're a mutant in the Marvel Universe has never been easy. In the wake of Krakoa, it’s going to be harder than ever, especially with the X-Men reintegrating themselves into society after the fall of their mutant nation.
Now, mutants around the world still need protection, community, and guidance. In Exceptional X-Men, a group of young mutants will be trained by two of the greatest teachers in X-Men history: Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost.
Written by acclaimed author Eve L. Ewing and drawn by superstar Marvel Stormbreaker artist Carmen Carnero, the series will be the final flagship X-Title to launch in the upcoming "From the Ashes" era. The series will introduce three all-new mutants who turn to Kitty and Emma for help with their emerging gifts: the metallic and whip-wielding Bronze, the emotion-stirring Axo, and the stealth-skilled fighter Melee.

While the X-Men's mission forces them to work outside the law, certain teams have found ways to fight for mutant rights within the system as officially sanctioned strike forces.
In the upcoming "From the Ashes" era, that tradition continues in a new volume of X-Factor from Eisner-winning writer Mark Russell (Fantastic Four: Life Story) and acclaimed X-Men artist Bob Quinn (Captain America).
Formed by the government in response to a post-Krakoa outbreak of mutant paramilitary, ops squads, and mercenary teams, X-Factor will be co-led by Angel and Havok and include recruits like Pyro, Frenzy, Feral, and more.
Part special agents for missions that require an arsenal of superpowers and part celebrity propaganda machine, X-Factor will wage war against emerging factions like the Mutant Underground and X-Term. Whether they believe in their actions or are just doing it for a check, the members of X-Factor are no fools when it comes to shady politics.
