I’m a real sucker for superheroes using their abilities in mundane ways, and that goes double for mutants, where powers are just a fact of life.

Avengers: No Surrender pulled a very similar trick, but I love the subtle glimpses of how Nate has inserted himself into X-Men history. He appears to have replaced Beast in the OG Five, and was even part of Madrox’s X-Factor team in the ‘00s.

At the centre of it all you’ve got the Beardy Mutant Jesus himself, Nate Grey – seen here in a pose reminiscent of Frank Quitely's iconic image of Xorn. I’ll leave you to draw your own parallels.

And so, in the grand tradition of Age of Apocalypse, all the X-Men get new looks, as perfectly late-2010s as the AoA versions were mid-1990s. I’m talkin’ undercuts, I’m talkin’ facial hair, and most of all I am talkin’ Dream Daddy Magneto.

Getting the #oneweekonecomic treatment today is @ZacBeThompson, @Lon_Monster & @Failla_comics’ AGE OF X-MAN: THE MARVELOUS X-MEN #1.

Hey guys, you know these #oneweekonecomic threads I've been doing? I thought they might be worth turning into blog posts – so you now can read all five (count 'em – DIE, Ironheart, Buffy, Peter Cannon & Runaways) from January here: https://t.co/TyqMEk0bGr

But Hass' greatest flex this issue has to be his mimicking of Gibbons' wobbly-edged speech balloons for the AU Cannon.

Special-effect speech bubbles can be hit and miss for me, but... man, @HassanOE is *killing* it on this book.

You, boy – do you know what else opens on a string of full-page splashes showing the destruction of a city?
Why, sir, it’s WATCHMEN #12! Another comic about an alien invasion which is faked to unite the nations of the earth against a common threat!

But then I hit the big reveal: the city-destroying alien invasion was actually a hoax, perpetrated by an alt-universe Peter Cannon, complete with Arctic base, wall of TV screens and ridiculous armour. All he’s missing is the genetically-engineered cat.
