There’s a lot to talk about this week, especially with James Gunn’s DC Studios announcements closely tie to very modern comics. We also have droves of X-Men news to uncap, like Before the Fall one-shots, the X-Men vote nominees, Marvel adding X-Men expansion book to Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game in 2024, and new X-23: Deadly Regenesis details reveal villain Haymaker.
