The X-Men continue investigating John Sublime

August 2026 Patreon Roundup: Captive Hearts

Our first post this month covered New X-Men Annual 2001, by Grant Morrison and Leinil Francis Yu, in which the X-Men go to Hong Kong on the trail of an illegal organ smuggling ring headed by "U-Man" influencer John Sublime. There they meet Xorn, a mysterious mutant with a star for a brain, whose powers might pave the way for a better tomorrow -- depending who controls him.

This comic leads directly into the next issue of New X-Men, so be sure to check it out!

Next, we checked in with the X-Treme team in X-Treme X-Men #5 (Claremont and Larroca, of course.) They're still on the hunt for Destiny's Diaries, and have experienced a setback or two thanks to their foe Vargas, but now they've got more on their plate when Gambit is accused of a murder he almost certainly didn't commit.

Lastly, we're taking a detour from our coverage of the New Mutants to check out the first two parts of Storm & Illyana: Magik, expanding on the time Illyana spent as a captive in Limbo, returning to Earth several years older and, some would say, somewhat traumatized.

Summer Break 2026!

 Hi all,

Just a quick note that I will be relaxing the post schedule for the next couple of weeks. We've got a new foster pup to take care of as well as a vacation that will take me away from writing for a while, so it will be good just to slow down and not worry about this site.

I will still be updating Patreon as much as I am able, intending to meet the minimum of 3 posts I promised every month. If you haven't signed up yet, you should!

Otherwise, watch the header above or our Bluesky account for news on upcoming posts.

Have a great summer,

Scotto
