I’ve read 2.5 of this week’s books, which I think is more than last week. Unbreakable was good, Rogue Storm was puzzling (remember how there were two Dani Moonstars in Age of X-Man? That’s Rogue, a whoopsie made canon), and I want to finish Sinister’s Six.

This week's AOR books were a big improvement! Lots of good art and some interesting pitches in the mix.

Innnnteresting, so Psylocke has been canceled, and in its place yet ANOTHER retro series Psylocke: Ninja featuring Betsy and Elektra. Did CB pitch this? Points to anyone who can explain the anatomy on this cover. How do butts work? What are fingers?

Coupla Program Notes:

1. There won't be a Battle of the Atom #NYCC Super Special this year. There was tons of great talent, but schedules did not align and I could not make it work.

My Wrap-Up Coverage of #NYCC w @danielpgrote.bsky.social will be out tomorrow on @comicsxf.com !
