Oh god. Fans.

SHIELD guys speak to people by the scene of some of Magneto’s murders. They’re not residents or witnesses. They’re fans. Ugh.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· 18d

You know it’s serious when someone refers to a character in their title font. #DailyXMen

Magneto in his killing clothes, ripping shit up.
Someone shouts: It’s… It’s… MAGNETO!

A dentist who’s been doing anti-mutant things, with road signs shoved through his mouth.
These images are from the first arc of the Magneto ongoing by Cullen Bunn and Gabriel Walta.

I’ve been online too long. There’s no way this means what I thought when I first saw it.

All this, plus: romance, kissing, the Beast AND Johnny and Ben getting some real talk in about their relationship. It's the conclusion to our DNX tie-in that you won't want to miss!

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· 20d

Finally Fabian Nicieza and Salvador Larroca tell a story of an imaginary scenario where there is mutant peace, as well as rekindled friendship between Charles & Erik. It’s all a lie, projected into Erik’s mind as Professor X wipes it during Fatal Attractions.

Professor X straightening his tie while having a chat with Magneto in front of a mirror, acting like an old couple.

They talk in front of memorial statues to some of the X-Men and Brotherhood. Magneto feels like something is up in his brain.

Magneto collapses, Wolverine’s got something weird happening with his metal and Bastion’s protesting with a placard saying, “Onslaught is coming”, as a hint to the truth.

This is Fatal Attractions. Professor X gave Magneto a nice future while wiping his mind. We zoom out and see a shadow of Onslaught.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· 20d

Len Wein and Jorge Molina tell a frankly tedious story about how Wolverine fantasising ways to kill the X-Men he’s just met. He decides that Storm would provide a challenge.

Logan thinking about killing Banshee and Cyclops.

Logan’s daydream about trying to kill Storm. The elements are getting in the way. Professor X asks Wolverine for his thoughts and he says he’s considering his options.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· 20d

Of all things, Roy the Boy and Pat Oliffe’s story is my favourite, where Sunfire and Banshee almost clash and discover their mutual love of music.

Banshee tries to keep the peace, then shouts at an impetuous Sunfire.

They both love Sun Records. Sunfire loves Elvis while Sean likes country.

The second X-Men Gold story is Weezie plotting, Stan writing and Walt Simonson drawing a tale of the original X-Men trying to win a date with Jean. It’s a reminder that the X-Men got good when Claremont took over.

The O5 X-Men bounding down a hallway, talking like used car salesmen as Stan Lee’s scripting.

Scott broods about his powers, Jean broods about Scott brooding.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· 20d

The narration says these two are in a lot of pain, but that doesn’t stop this panel looking hilarious. #DailyXMen

Colossus has been heated up by Lockheed and in turn is heating up Logan’s metal. He’s holding Wolverine by the ankles and swinging him in a wide circle, slashing at skull-faced Sentinels. From X-Men Gold Volume One, Issue One.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· 28d

Wolverine’s been drinking and is looking over at a Nightcrawler who is definitely naked in the foreground. Somehow this got past editorial.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· 28d

I’m Charlie Etheridge-Nunn, I’ve written a bunch of comics, mainly for anthologies like Pulp, WIP, Cadavers and my own Explosion High! I’m currently working on a few projects and looking for any others to help out with! #PortfolioDay

Lane Lloyd’s amazing cover for Past Futuremann!

Kitty McEwan’s ominous art for my WIP 8 story!

Russell Mark Olsen’s amazing introduction to Blob Detective!

And of course NORRIE and Faye Stacey’s beautiful cover for Explosion High!

The latest volume of Sprigs and Kindling is out! Celebrate beginnings and endings with several incredible playbooks, scenarios and tools for Carved from Brindlewood games, including some seasonal UnScenes for The Between which I’ve written! sprigsandkindling.com

A great Brindlewood Bay scene as cover of Volume Six of Sprigs & Kindling. Two mavens in party costumes (top hat, star-based deeley boppers) are confronting a potential murderer (in a Viking hat) with a lamp. There’s a bloody handprint on it. Oh, and also there’s someone out of the window climbing away and a handprint.

It’s a shame Firestar didn’t stick around after Amazing X-Men and her awe at being on the team was entirely reversed. I think an amount of it was the fandom turning on her when she was in the election for a team member. #DailyXMen

Firestar lighting up a cave full of Bamfs. Iceman’s a little bumpy after melting a lot (they are in literal hell)
Firestar: because if you’re dead, then I’m dead, and there’s no way I’m dead. Trust me, right now I feel more alive than ever.
Firestar (thought bubble): I just set hell on fire. Please let me be an X-Man forever.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jul 11

I explained Firestar, Emma Frost and Butterrum to my partner who is also an Emma. She reckons Butterrum probably had it coming. #dailyxmen

Angelica Jones having a bit of an internal monologue about joining the school. From Amazing X-Men volume 2, issue 1.

I’ve not yet read Wages of Sin. Megadamage was so pretty I had to make that my priority.

An incredible… thing, floating in a blue sky. It’s got a kind of face-like shape, a bumpy, wibbly body and a growing black lump on its back.

One of the comics. A character grabs a many-eyed and mouthed monster, squishing it while saying, “Look at him!! He’s so adorable!!”

An essay on unions contained in giant letters that spell out, “UNIONS”.

Adrian Tchaikovsky’s interview. There’s a photo of him with cosmic swirls and stars around him. He looks like a photo from the bio of a cult leader or something.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jul 10

Mothership: Wages of Sin and Megadamage by @mothership.bsky.social have arrived! They look gorgeous!

The hardcover Wages of Sin. It’s a bit bigger than Tuesday Knight Games’ previous Mothership games. A solid red colour with an image of a heavily-armed person in a stuffed bear head drawn in black ink. The title in white blurs and fades a bit near the bottom right.

Megadamage. A ludicrously big ‘megazine’ with Megadamage in bold gold writing and then outlined and repeated upwards. There’s a wreck at the bottom and a couple of people in spot finish flying or swimming towards it, torches shining.

The extra materials. Two patches: “Don’t run, you’ll only die tired” and “do you sign my paychecks?”. A trifold adventure, “Shadow of a Doubt”, a pin so small you can’t really see it, but it lives in my backpack now. And four booster packs of pregens, currently unopened.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jul 10

Sergio Aragonés looks exactly how you’d expect.

Sergio Aragonés smiling with a big ol’ moustache, his hairy arms out and a pen in his hand.

Reading some old Wizard and I’ve been loving these old photos of comic creators, especially the ‘bad boys of comics’, Fabian Nicieza and Howard Mackie.

An early 90’s photo of Fabian Nicieza and Howard Mackie at what looks like a convention. They’re both in sunglasses. Fabian’s got a bit of stubble and a hat on, Howard Mackie’s bearded and has a more serious look.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jul 7

The Haunting of Creech Manor is a fun Final Girl scenario with an enemy who can’t be defeated, as well as a small girl and her stuffed toy to save. Check out my review here: fakedtales.com/2026/07/07/f...

Final Girl: The Haunting of Creech Manor. A Final Girl looks to camera while a ghost creeps about over her shoulder. There’s a creepy manor with a girl looking out of the window, evidently in need of help.

Muting shouting, “Die, AI scum!” While impaling a robotic Colossus.

Casual Trek’s looking at some non-Quark Ferengi episodes of Star Trek today. We’ve got Picard reliving “The Battle” in TNG, some terrible capering in Enterprise’s “Acquisition” and a reunion with Rom in Lower Decks’ “Parth Ferengi’s Heart Place” #StarTrek #Treksky open.spotify.com/episode/3uKp...

Clint Howard up to some tomfoolery and capering around in the Enterprise NX-01’s medbay. He’s sniffed some boots and now he’s playing with medical tools.
Title: I Apologise for the Amount of Times I Say ‘Capering’ in the Recap

I’m used to people getting my name wrong, this is a delivery note from last week using the standard, “Etherington-Nunn” misspelling. I guess I should be pleased that The Bullshit Machine created a new way to spell my name wrong.

A delivery note to Charles Etherington-Nunn. I’ve obscured my postcode, I don’t have many followers, but you need to be careful.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jun 25

I was looking for an old review of mine and saw that the AI overview couldn’t get my name right.

An overview of my Who Dares Rolls review of City of Mist which didn’t really get into any of my points. It has my name as, “Charlie Etheridge-Nunnon”

How was my UK Games Expo experience in 2026? Here’s my convention diary and I’ll have some details of the conversations I had with game designers in the near future. fakedtales.com/2026/06/24/u...

My fake press pass for UK Games Expo in a lanyard with my tickets and a moderate amount of badges from Pin Quest.

I’ve got an Evercade handheld and now I’m remembering how we used to make serious video games.

Sheep in Space by Jeff Minter, a classic from the C64 era. Played on an Atari Super Pocket.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jun 22

Isn’t Weapon X-Finity one of the Generation X-23 kids or something? #xspoilers

You’re right, it’s not a prison. It’s more like… it’s more like a cosmetics test lab, with mutants instead of white rabbits. Codename… Weapon X-Finity.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jun 20

She basically said the event name!

Ma Kent looking down at Lois and saying, “Good gracious! It’s like a Reign of Superboys.”
Hang on, no, she said, “Good Gracious! It’s like it’s raining Superboys.”

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jun 20

Logan looks a bit worse for wear. What a time to have added his ongoings to my marathon.

Wolverine bandaged up, scarred and limping away from Beast, Storm and Kitty.

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jun 20

Of course that’s what Latveria’s domain name is.

Dr Frankenstein with some of Wolverine’s drinking buddies. She says, “But even Latveria Dot Doom is down, detective.”

Charlie Etheridge-Nunn: Technically ENNIE-nominated@skyshark· Jun 20

I didn’t realise volume five of Wolverine was basically one long story arc, and it’s nice the home stretch had Alan Davis back as Wolverine fights Black Panther and then a bunch of enemies come out of the woodwork. #DailyXMen
