X-Statix: Classic or Dud?

Reminds me a bit of the old "Strikeforce: Morituri" (sp?), in that Milligan's willing to kill off characters that the readers have invested in. Was sad about U Go Girl, not so much about Phat, but it keeps the mix lively. Same goes for Powers, and the folk that have come and gone in that title. And second the artwork rave.

As for the Doop/Wolverine two issue mini (is that what you're referring to aldo?), I felt it was tossed off compared to regular X-Statix -- the characters were a lot more caricatured (as opposed to ironized spoofs -- nitpicky).

Anyway, how many heroes could go toe to toe with Wolverine? (OK, looking at Marvel history almost everyone has at least once, but you get my point :-) )

As speculated by the arrival of this week's Giant-Sized X-Statix by Milligan and Allred, a follow-up series by the same team (entitled X-Cellent) will be released next year.

I can't believe the original series ended fifteen years ago. Jesus christ.

So long ago that your average Marvel fan didn't even know who modern-day supahstar Vic Fluro was.

fifteen years ago u say

It’s weird that I’ve now had a “adult comics reading phase” that’s now lasted thee to four times as long as my teenage comic reading phase

Giant-Sized X-Statix

Marvel have literally sent out advance copies of this, in print, but have still not announced how "giant-sized" a product you are getting for A$11.50

If you have a Giant-Sized Man-Thing handy you can use that as your yardstick.
