11.7.2024
Reboots are par for the course in superhero comics. Every few years a new creative team takes the reins and wants to shake things up in its own way. To do that, the story must first return to the status quo. Such is the case with the latest X-Men comic from writer Jed MacKay. It’s not exactly...
