Episode 45: From the Ashes Month 10! All the New X-Men Comics of April 2025

Season 1, Ep. 45
•

Another month another deluge of X-Men comics. This month saw a really strong showing across the brand and was notable for the end of two of the best books of the line--NYX by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing “The Hivemind” and Francesco Mortarino and X-Force by Geoffrey Thorne and Marcus To. Matt--who is writing-- is too sad to put a pithy joke here. Let's get into it!
