We are in the week before a million videos are made about I Am Not Starfire... so why exactly is the book getting made again? For reasons that are likely far more boring than you think.
As X of Swords has concluded, Marvel has announced the new imprint for the X-Office. Retiring "Dawn of X", we now give way to "Reign of X"... which may or may not be an analogy for a rain of new X-universe comic books coming at potential customers. Are you in?

Reign of X era to begin in X-Men comics at Marvel
After Dawn of X and X of Swords, a new X-Men era begins: Reign of X
Marvel Comics' current 'Dawn of X' X-Men era will come to an end this December, giving way to a new, post 'X of Swords' status quo under the banner 'Reign of X'. The 'Reign of X' era will kick off next week, immediately following the just concluded 'X of Swords' crossover, which ended with November 25's X of Swords: Destruction #25.
The announcement came in the form of teaser art drawn by Mahmud Asrar, tweeted by writer Si Spurrier and then shared widely by Marvel. Though he's not currently known to be working on any X-Men titles, Spurrier has plenty of X-Men experience on his resume, meaning he'll likely be joining the X office in some capacity in the 'Reign of X' era.

The art features some characters already known to be joining the X-Men line, including: Wolverine as Patch and Maverick who will be joining forces in Wolverine #8; the X-Men who entered the Vault known to be returning in January's X-Men #18; Jim Jaspers who rules Otherworld's bizarre Crooked Market; newlyweds Cypher and Bei the Blood Moon; Nightcrawler holding a Krakoan tome, possibly Apocalypse's grimoire of mutant magic; M seemingly under the tutelage of Warren Worthington/Archangel; a group of shadowy figures; Professor X's son Legion; someone who may be Proteus blasting energy from his eyes and mouth, and villains Nimrod, Shadow King, and Arcade. Legion, Shadow King, and Arcade will all be new additions to the current X-Men era, not having appeared as yet in 'Dawn of X'.
"The 'Reign of X' is upon us … and here's a sneak peek of what it will bring! Like 'Dawn of X' and 'X of Swords' before it, 'Reign of X' has been meticulously crafted by Jonathan Hickman and all the other uncanny X-writers of our day, and we can't wait for you to see what they've cooked up!" editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski states in the 'Reign of X' announcement.
"In the meantime, eagle-eyed readers should take a close look at this magnificent montage of mutants drawn by Mahmud Asrar," Cebulski's statement continues. "Everything on this image was included for a reason and will

One of the quieter announcements coming out of San Diego Comic Con was a revival comic called Legacy of Mandrake the Magician, which will feature Mandy, a character with an unknown heritage and deep secrets. Sounds fine, right? The cover looks great... and the pitch isn't the most unusual thing in the world. Who would be angry about this... and also why would people want to encourage anger about this?

Join Joe and I as we ask the question that seems to be more relevant every passing day... have comics pushed the multiverse a bit too far?
