Deadman and The X-Men


It looks as though Jean Grey is returning to life once again in the comics - which means there will now be two Jeans running around, as the time displaced younger versions of the First Class X-Men are still in operation.  I don't really mind because The Phoenix is all about death and rebirth, so she is one character that resurrection seems perfectly appropriate for.

This is Part One of a Two-Part Epic - make sure that you stop by tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

    I had always hoped you'd have Deadman meet Daredevil.

    You could've called it "3 D's...For Danger."

    Deadman is perfect. Death in comics is not a real thing. Just mostly a thing. "Mostly dead".

    There was a Marvel limited series in the Seventies called "War Is Hell" where Death Incarnate's avatar was a Polish-American soldier killed early in WWII. One has to wonder, then, if the blue-skinned woman who serves as the current avatar succeeded him? If so, will Jean Grey be replacing her in tomorrow's issue? Or, will it be your version of DC's Death of the Endless?

    John Kowalski, IIRC. He also turned up in one 'Man-Thing' storyline.

    This is a quite simple cover, but exquisitely done. Nice job, Ross.

    I quit buying Marvel comics in Jim Shooter editor-in-chief era when after fan outrage after multiple resurrections (especially Jean Gray) he said in affect: "Fans are stupid and do not realize we recycle concepts every 10 years'. Did not buy a Marvel comic since except for some trade paperbacks. It was a complete reversal of Stan Lee's attitude.

      Well, you pretty much missed a bunch of good stuff from Marvel after Shooter departed, aside from stuff that caused the publisher to go bankrupt due to the 1996 comic book industry crash. Why quit buying comics from said publisher just because of what Shooter said. When compared to Quesada, who was responsible for Marvel entering the post-Civil War dork age, Shooter was responsible for Marvel's major successes in the Eighties, even if he did cause trouble with fans by saying that comment.

    @Glen Host: that's probably why he was nicknamed "Trouble." He had a habit of causing it.
