There’s a new telekinetic girl in town, and she has no control over her power. Plus, the jocks play a vile game, Sue is still making things worse, and no one bothered to clear the rubble of the school Carrie burned down 20 years ago.
Cyclops is finally confronted with the truth about his past—and responds like a petulant child. Plus, hidden treasure, crooked cops, and when did the X-Men get a monorail?
The final battle for the fate of Jean Grey. Plus, Beast has conviction while most of the team waffle, Lilandra makes a hard relationship choice, and the Kree and Skrulls stop in to say hi.
The “Dark Phoenix” saga of X-Men comes to an end, as does Season 3. And we’re kicking off a horror-heavy October with a classic short story and a little more Carrie.
The Dark Phoenix goes full heel (except when Jean keeps butting in). Plus, the Shi’ar return with a death sentence, Gambit is horny even in the middle of a calamity, and Wolverine hates ducks.
Carrie’s blood-soaked rampage makes her an instant icon. Plus, the town is spared, Spacek soars, and Travolta neuters Billy.
The Dark Phoenix has arrived, and Jean Grey is no more. Plus, Professor X is weak, and the Inner Circle bicker like children.
Carrie finally gets pushed too far and flexes her newly developed muscles. Plus, religious zealotry, rejoining the human race, and it’s hard to be a non-conformist in high school.
