Had to wait til 2025 to get this panel, but it's finally here, with all the flavor of 25.

#XSpoilers

Batgirl and Wolverine sit side by side in front of a massive glowing clock face, both wearing yellow-and-black costumes and eating noodles from white takeout boxes with chopsticks. Batgirl has long red hair; Wolverine has long black hair. Speech bubbles read: “WE HEAD TO THE CLOCK TOWER. AND WE EAT.” then Wolverine says, “IT’S 25 WITH CHICKEN.” Batgirl replies, “IT’S GOOD.” Wolverine continues, “IT HAS ALL THE FLAVOR OF 25.” In the background, Nightwing kneels on the floor in a blue suit holding up a small brown dog, smiling. Honeybadger sits across from him in a yellow suit, petting Jonathan, her wolverine, who stands on his hind legs with paws on her shoulders.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore.
It happens a lot 'round here.

#XSpoilers #Xmen

Amazing X-Men 2 was my favorite comic of the Age of Revelation event so far. I usually don't care much for Cyclops, but this was top-notch characterization. Also loved the way they wrote and drew the Darkchild, demonic but not fan-servicey.

I might even keep reading the event!

An older Cyclops wearing a tattered red cape and visor looks over his shoulder amid falling leaves, saying, “I can do anything. Anything. As long as I have the X-Men with me.”

A red-skinned character (the Darkchild) with long white hair and glowing orange eyes smiles menacingly. They have sharp teeth and are speaking in a comic speech bubble that says, “AND MY PEOPLE PREFER THE DEVIL THEY KNOW.”

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.

Here's the video of it running.

#xspoilers #xmen

Omega Kids #1 and Book of Revelation #1 are the first issues of the event I've enjoyed, probably because they feel new in a way instead of just rehashing the same ole 'Age of Something' we've seen a few dozen times.

A comic panel showing two characters talking. On the left, a young person with long blonde hair, wearing a black and purple jacket with an “X” symbol on the shoulder. On the right, a man with purple hair and beard, goggles, and a fur-collared coat kneeling with a red object in hand. He says, “The X-Men will be the end to all of this. They will murder our world and dance on her corpse.”
