Karma, owner of the Hatchi Corp, hired Magik & Team to investigate paranormal situations First up, a town overrun by zombies, as some jerk stole a piece of jewelry that he really shouldn't haveSome fun jokes throughout#NewMutants Dead Souls 1
Magik & Team investigate a old Russian mineThe miners uncovered a Frost GiantThere is so much humor in this mini that I'm lovingRictor's mistrust in Magik continues to growTurns out, Warlock is the one accidently spooking the kids in the woods #NewMutants Dead Souls 2
Prodigy is almost killed on a plane, so Magik & Team go to rescue himRahne references some X-Factor nonsense that I don't recall Strong Guy killing anyone she knowsRictor stepped out of the disc, no one has done thatTram, Karma's not quite dead brother is the villain#NewMutants Dead Souls 3
Tran forces Magik to live through a fictional funeral for Rictor, which explains why she is wearing the exact same dress she wore to Rahne's funeral from Uncanny X-Men V5 17Nice Kitty Pryde & Magik moment hereWe learn that dress is actually Betsy's, & Illyana feels short#NewMutants Dead Souls 4
Tran might be a bigger threat than previous thought, as he takes over Doctor Strange's bodyor Strange is weaken as magic is overall weaken during this pointRictor accidently gives Tran a body, Magik banishes him to Limbo, along with Strong Guy, so things are not good#NewMutants Dead Souls 5
I didn't think to look at where this fit into the overall continuity, but this mini sets up why everyone was infected by Warlock in Rosenberg's Uncanny X-Men – which makes sense as this was written by Rosenberg#NewMutants Dead Souls 6
#DeathOfX 1 Magik & X-Men go to Muir Island & discovery everyone there including Madrox is dead Magik has a very bad feeling about this Cyclops collapses, but gets back up again. The Terrigen Mist is bad for mutants. #IvXpic.twitter.com/fP4rtZi1GM
#DeathOfX 2 Cyclops reveals to the entire world that the Terrigen Mist is deadly to mutants Inhumans & Storm are not pleased We get a nice moment with Colossus & Magik, those shoulder spike things can't make hugging easy (probably on purpose) Cyclops has a plan#IvXpic.twitter.com/0KZ8AjFUZE

Thanks for the current Mile High Comics code word sale, with a whomping 60% discount on back issues
I was able to get all of the 2025 comics I want to do for the podcast, PLUS! cut a little into my Lockheed collection.
Strangely, I could NOT get the Storm 2023 miniseries to result (I need issue 4) nor AXE Judgment Day to result (I need issue 5) so that’s pretty odd.
X-Treme X-Men 2022 1 & 2 were both super expensive, as was Thor (2020) 18, so I’ll have to get those through eBay.
So for Lockheed i got –
Marauders (2019) 8 Beyond 6 Cerebro’s Guide to X-Men History of the Marvel Universe V2 6 Merry X-Men Holiday Special
and for episodes of the podcast I got
Captain America : Steve Rogers 5 Civil War II 5 Hunt for Wolverine 1 Hunt for Wolverine Dead Ends 1 Marvel Zombies Return 5 Marvel Zombies Halloween
Then I’m going to do the Fantastic Four vs X-Men miniseries, BUT! I wanted the X-Men / Fantastic Four 2020 series, so I went ahead and got those, plus, Lockheed is in those (though why I didn’t list those on my Lockheed missing list, is beyond me.
So $137.75 worth of comics for $64.10 is a great deal (free shipping one all orders over $60.01, so I always make a point of getting at least $60.01)

Rogue : Savage Land also seems like months too late.
Cable : Love and Chrome, for all those who felt they were missing Cable when he wasn’t around for the relaunch.
Marvel & Disney : What If : Mickey Mouse and Friends were the Fantastic Four? I’m passing on this as the last two were not stellar or that cute.
Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon 1. I wasn’t that impress with Doom in Avengers 19, so I feel like I’m in for a very long two years of Doom centric stories.

Saying the past is the past doesn’t make it so, and Kitty is carrying the weight of her choices.

Now that the truth is out, so is Melee, leaving the EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN on the rocks.

oh no, I hadn’t even thought about the public learning about Kate killing all of those Orchis jerks! This is going to be real bad, ya’ll Reading it one more time, maybe Emma just lets it slip OR! Emma is doing a telepathic training, and Kitty’s thoughts wander for all to see.

X-Factor 6, Frenzy at Havok’s throat?! Yes please
X-Force 7, Rachel & Betsy are getting the focus of the issue! YAASSS!
X-Men Xavier’s Secret 1, ugh that title. Sally Floyd is interesting. I checked fandom, as this collects X-Men From the Ashes Infinity Comics 1-6, and no Kitty Pryde, so no interest in this from me.
Red Band comics are here to stay for a little long, eh?
Avengers 22, Black Cat joins the team?! With Storm?! and Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch?! What a line up!
. . .
So that’s January 2024. What are you most excited for?
I’m personally excited for Exceptional X-Men 5, and Magik 1.
Rachel wakes up from a nightmare Kitty, Logan & Rogue go to West Virginia to locate three new mutants Rogue feels at home They locate one, and find a second one at a strange house
X-Men find the second mutant, Darla, who has an extremely tragic origin She also has the ability to create illusions to ones memories, real enough to fight I like seeing Kitty & Rogue chatting
Darla is responsible for the illusions, Logan wants to put her down, Rogue wants to stop him Kitty is trying to get Krystal (who has psionic powers) wants to make a confession Kitty crashes a car, and is knocked out, as townies approach with ill intensions
Kitty learns that Krystal also has a tragic backstory & more about her powers Rogue vs Logan Town is falling apart as the drug runners try to take control & everybody's worst memories are out for all to witness
Kitty's idea of Xavier helps turn the tide Krystal & Darla hash out their problems Brahm Revel creates a reason to draw classics like Storm & Nightcrawler, so that's fun Cristiane Peter has been doing an amazing job on colors Krystal handles the press
