Well, you can't go wrong with X-Men in the 1990s - and in this issue of Marvel Age, readers got to know what was coming in the "X-Cutioner's Song" event.
There's lots more going on at Marvel, of course. The Airtight Garage universe, created by Moebius, gets extended with the new miniseries The Onyx Overlord, which carried over characters from the original Airtight Garage epic into new tales written by Randy and Jean-Marc Lofficier with art by Jerry Bingham.
Marvel Age also seems to have settled into a rotating series of articles that look at the creative processes behind action figures, animated series, trading cards, and holograms. In this issue, the spotlight shines on action figures. But in this issue, you also get an article on the X-Men's animated series.
Plus, Tom DeFalco gets his own column about comics. Hey, who's gonna say no to the editor-in-chief?
