Hope you survive the experience!

If you’ve ever dreamed of joining the X-Men and attending Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, now’s your chance.

As a part of a new “icons” experience promotion, Airbnb has announced several new pop culture themed listings, including your chance to stay at a mansion in Westchester County, New York that’s been decked out to look like the X-Mansion from the X-Men ’97 animated series on Disney+.

Darick Robertson + Stephen B. Jones bring ‘Greaser: Gemini Blues’ to Magma Comix

The new sci-fi romance series kicks off in July.

Darick Robertson has made a name for himself as an artist on comics like The Boys, New Warriors, Transmetropolitan, Happy! and many more titles, but this summer he’ll take the reigns as a writer on Greaser: Gemini Blues with artist Stephen B. Jones.

They’ll be joined by colorist Marcus Collar and letterer Shawn Lee on the “post-apocalyptic sci-fi romance series” that involves aliens, biodomes and star-crossed lovers.
