Magneto isn’t the only one gone to the dark side in “Tolerance is Extinction” — Rogue has joined him. She, too, has a new suit. Lee drew Rogue with the curly flow she’s known for, plus her outfit of a green-and-yellow bodysuit with a short bomber jacket on top. Before that, when Rogue was a […]

In the episode “Dennis Reynolds: An Erotic Life,” Frank and Mac (Rob McElhenney) end up seeing a movie together and are the world’s worst movie patrons after a failed Bon Jovi business meeting.

In episode 6 of “X-Men ’97” we learn that it wasn’t Cassandra Nova, but actually Mister Sinister who planned the attack. This is a bit disappointing considering Sinister doesn’t have a very strong anti-mutant sentiment and this ultimately takes away from the thematic resonance of the Genosha attack. Making it worse is a scene where […]
