Customer Reviews

Very fun
Peter Milligan's X-Statix series ended with the heroes dying. One of these characters is Dead Girl, who already knows a lot about the dead. In this series, she is recruited by Dr. Strange to help suss out dead villains who keep coming back to life. This series is a fun examination on the "dead is dead" policy of certain comic editors, even as characters get to be reborn on what seems to be an almost monthly basis. Which characters gets that right?

Fans of the X-Statix series will see familiar faces. Fans of Marvel comics overall will see a few much loved, but dead, characters, too.
