Welcome, X-Fans, to another uncanny edition of X-Men Monday at AIPT!A lot of X-Fans love Generation X. I know this because I receive a lot of X-Fan questions.

And while we haven’t gotten the latter, we have the next best thing with the Astonishing X-Men Infinity Comic, exclusive to Marvel Unlimited.In the…

What made it work is that the creative teams of Shobo, Shof and Alexandre Tefenkgi were not afraid to offer stories full of intricate characters and explore the cultural gaps. Bronze Faces #2 continues this trend, but shifts settings and characters.This time, the thief is much more skilled. One of them was once a former…
