Phoenix?, Part Three of Three

Cover Dated August 2006

We finish the Ultimate X-Men issues that I bought at Christmas 2014.

If you want to follow along, this spectacular website has all of the pages :

Previously, Sebastian Shaw froze Xavier’s bank accounts.  Lilandra Neramani, Majestrix of the Church of Shi’ar Enlightenment, has offered to give Xavier the needed money – if she can get examine Jean Grey.  She wants to do this as Jean is suppose to be the manifestation of their god, the Phoenix – of course.  Xavier accepted, as he needs money.  The examine has been quite painful for Jean.  Emma Frost is trying to hold a dance at her school and the Brotherhood of Mutants has crashed it.  Cyclops has brought a team to fight the Brotherhood.  The X-Men have a new team member, Elliott Boggs, who will be named – The Magician.

The issue opens with The Blob on the attack.  The Magician is trying new techniques to bring Blob down.  Toad and Cyclops are fighting each other.

Xavier Institute for Gifted Children.  Jean is going full Dark Phoenix and Lilandra can’t believe it.  The Phoenix manifestation isn’t suppose to be a sudden transformation, more like a gradual change.  So she doesn’t believe Jean is doing it right.  Xavier comes into the room and tries to calm Jean down.

The Academy of Tomorrow.  Rogue still has Gambit’s powers at this point.  Magician makes it so that everything around Blog is light so he falls off his feet.  Once he is in movement, he is easier to deal with.

Xavier Institute for Gifted Children.  Xavier shuts down Jean and is knocked out in the process.  Gerald comes inot the room, I guess he is a partner of Lilandra’s.

Emma Frost’s Academy of Tomorrow.  These two couldn’t come up with a regular name for a school, I guess.  The media starts calling Boggs, the Magician, they are really digging him.  We start seeing that Scott isn’t a big fan of him.  He’s all powerful so him being on a team seems unnecessary.  He doesn’t last that long and gets his own three part storyline as the very next storyline.  So this is a three parter and the next is a three parter, so that makes up a trade.  Cyclops sees Angel, who was sent to Academy of Tomorrow, at some point.  Scott has an awkward greeting with his brother, they really don’t get along well.  Some things never change.  Scott tells Colossus that if he wants a ride home, they are leaving soon so he should say goodbye to his boyfriend, Northstar.

Xavier Institute for Gifted Children.  Jean wakes up, not proud of her actions.  Lilandra concludes that it must be the Phoenix that is coming through Jean.  Gerald speaks up and states that Jean’s parents were members of the Church of the Shi’ar Enlightenment, so Jean must be acting out what she overheard as a child.  Plus, her blood test results came back all wrong.  Gerald states that Jean has a split personalities.  This, naturally, makes Jean very upset as she has been called crazy, for all of her life.

Ultimate X-Men 71 Shadowcat 1

Later.  Kitty comes out of her room (I imagine she didn’t go to the dance, as she’s dating Spider-Man at this point) stating that the media is loving the Magician.  Kitty is excited about being on talk shows, unfortunately, Xavier will never put one of his better and smarter students on the news.  Even though, she is the best example of a non-threatening mutant – unless you really think about how deadly her powers are.

Storm wonders if Wolverine is back yet.  Kurt is still not talking to Colossus, we learn in the second annual that it is due to Kurt being disgusted with Colossus’ life style – which is way too harsh and unfair.

Cyclops looks for Jean and Xavier intercepts him first, as he has to tell the young man the news.

Scott goes to Jean, she wants to be left alone.  We see that goblins are all over Jean, but Scott didn’t see them, so she may be going to sleep.  I do enjoy Ultimate Jean getting to experience the Goblin Queen and the Phoenix Saga, all in one go.  That seems like a decent way to handle it as we will never get a Maddie Pryor in the Ultimate Universe, which is a real shame.  Though I don’t recall exactly what happens with the goblin subplot, we will have to watch and see.

The Church of Shi’ar Enlightenment Headquaters.  Gerald makes a call to Shaw, so we know he is a bad guy now.  He tells Shaw the truth, Jean is the vessel for the Phoenix and he suspects they can use her.  Actually, he is working for the Hellfire Club but not necessarily with Shaw.  This is how the issue ends.

Marvel Zombies Dead Days

Writer Robert Kirkman

Artist Sean Phillips

Color Art June Chung

Lettering VC’s Rus Wooton

Zombie Food John Barber

Cover Dated July 2007

Cover (after Jim Lee) by Arthur Suydam, homaging X-MEN Volume One Issue 1

This awesome website has the entire comic, if you want to follow along

http://www.idoc.co/read/2208/marvel-zombies-dead-days/1

This issue works as an origin story to the Marvel Zombies universe.

Inside cover ad are for The New Fantastic Four (not the good one but Storm, Black Panther, Human Torch and Thing) going to the Marvel Zombie-verse in Black Panther 29.

Issue opens with Spider-Man web-slinging his way home.  He enters his apartment and tells Aunt May and Mary Jane that Colonel America bit him.  The news is stating that the Avengers are attacking and worst, eating people.  That should stop supervillains from attacking.

Spider-Man starts drooling through his mask.  He rips the mouth part off and yep, eats Mary Jane.  That isn’t what husbands should do!  Know what nephews shouldn’t do?  Eat their aunts!  Spider-Man doesn’t care, what we think!

High in Earth’s Orbit.  Asteroid M.  Magneto is ashamed of what he did.  Fabian Cortez, his chief Acolyte, is telling him that he did what he had to do.  I guess he was the one that sent the Sentry, who was affected by the Zombie virus, to Earth.  The virus affects both flatscans and mutant.  Magneto sets off to save as many as he can.

New York City.  Nova is rocketing around.  On this Earth, he knows Spider-Man’s secret identity.  Which costs him to fight for his life.  Daredevil tries to save Nova.

Elsewhere.  Colonel America tells the Avengers to stop.  They have been eating and eating.  He notices that the hunger has been slated.  He wants to look for a cure.

There is an ad for the 2007 Jeep Patriot.

Westchester, New York.  The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.  Alpha Flight are Zombies!  They ate Professor Xavier!  Cyclops is trying to keep the X-Men motivated to save themselves.

Marvel Zombies Dead Days Shadowcat 1

Magneto arrives and kills Alpha Flight, so they are dead dead.

Poor Shadowcat, thought it was an isolated incident.  Wolverine wants to kill all of the Zombies.

New York City.  Giant Man and the Black Panther are on the run.  Black Panther wishes he was with his people in Wakanda.  Giant Man can’t get over seeing Colonel America eat a woman.  Black Panther notices that Pym was bit.  Pym was hoping he could have gotten the African King to his lab, before he noticed, so that he could have a meal.  He knocks out Black Panther and continues on his way.  He suspects that all of the ‘food supply’ will run out in a matter of days.

There is an ad for X-MEN 200.

Nova is still flying around.  We see that Spider-Man turned Daredevil.  Now there is a blind lawyer zombie out there in the world.  Sean McKeever’s Gravity is also a zombie!  Nice inclusion, Kirkman!  Or does Phillips comes up with the side characters?

Over in the Baxter Building.  In what could be the saddest sight of the comic, poor poor Reed is holding his dead children in his arms.  He thought they were safe.  That stupid horrible horrible being, She-Hulk ate Franklin and Valeria!  I like She-Hulk, but that is pretty messed up!  Susan is holding Valeria and Reed is holding Franklin.  I feel like crying right now.

Susan, and good for her, creates a force field inside of Jennifer’s head and explodes it, outward.  Johnny is crying, as he should!

Thor kills Zombie Atlas.  Songbird and Meteorite are zombies too, so there goes the Thunderbolts!  Thor kills Meteorite.  Nova is trying to help Thor.  He is almost bit when Human Torch shows up.  The Fantastic Four show up in the Fantasti-Car.  They take the three heroes to a SHIELD Hellicarrier, the last safe place in New York City.  probably

Marvel Zombies Dead Days Shadowcat 2a Marvel Zombies Dead Days Shadowcat 2b

That is a great assortment of heroes.  Not only is Shadowcat among the non-flesh easters, so is the Scarlet Spider!  I love that costume so much!

Nick Fury calls what is happening a plague.  The entire globe is being affected by it.  Fury wants the brains – Reed Richards, Stark and Bruce Banner, to create a cure before their brains are eaten.

Nova loses his mind, a little.  If you are a New York based hero and not on the Hellicarrier, then that person is most likely a zombie or dead, or deader.  He just thinks that it is too late for counter-measures.

There is an ad for Spider-Man 3.

Avengers Mansion.  Manhattan.  Pym shows up, looking for Jarvis but he has served his last task, he’s lunch for the Avengers.  Pym wonders if they should work on a cure.  Hawkeye has eaten 12 people, so he feels like he can’t be redeemed.

Spider-Man eats J. Jonah Jameson.

Fury goes to Doom, he believes Latveria is safe.

Back aboard the SHIELD Hellicarrier.  Reed’s Lab.  The three brains are working separately, so that they could get a solution faster.  Susan is upset, naturally, that Reed is becoming fascinated by the zombies.

There is an ad for X-Men : Endangered Species.  Which we own a few issues of, so I’ll review them eventually.  Comicbookdb.com counts anything under the banner, so I’ve already started reviewing the Quest for Magik from New X-Men and X-Factor 23, also the Blinded by the Light arc of X-MEN.

Elsewhere on the Helicarrier.  Tony’s Lab.  Fury gets an update from Stark.  Stark wants to find an alternate universe and take the survivors there.

On the ground, there is a giant battle.  Nova gets bit by Carol Danvers.  Wolverine is bit by Hawkeye and Captain America.  Magneto is able to fight some as many as he can.

Back on the Hellicarrier.  Reed’s Lab.  Reed tells the Fantastic Four his plans to become Zombies, they are disgusted.  He informs them that, as soon as they came into the lab, that they were infected by the plague.  They are infected and he wants to experience the sensation of becoming a zombie.  They indulge him.

Stark is telling Fury about how they need to move fast.  The Zombie Four comes in and bite Stark.  Fury gets away and hides with an elevator of heroes.  The Four break in and kill Fury but turn the other heroes.

Minutes Later.  Reed wants to take the dimension portal to the Baxter Building so that he can prefect it.  Which leads to the Ultimate Universe and where this franchise officially starts.

Inside back cover ads are for Mystic Arcana, which I own two issues of – one being a Magik proper tie-in which is pretty awesome.  The other is for Ultimate Fantastic Four Volume 3 hardcover, which has the Zombies’ first appearance.

. . .

For Walker Dennis’ second Halloween costume, he is going to be –

an adoreable Scarecrow!  We looked around for all types of costumes but there were not that many great ones but he looks pretty cute in it.  If he would just wear the hat / cowl thing.

Which is pretty nice!

Oh the Nightcrawler is crazy issue!

Many months ago.  Nightcrawler is doing a Weapon X mission.  He’s teleporting and killing fools, all over the place.

One month ago.  Rogue has recently come back to the X-Men.  Back in Annual One, Gambit died.  Before he did, he asked Rogue to kiss him, which she did.  Now she has his powers and only his powers.  She’s back at the Xavier School to try to control her new powers.  For a while there, she had Gambit’s thoughts and voice in her head but now she just has the powers.

Last night.  Westchester General Hospital.  Dazzler’s Room.  Dazzler finally wakes up out of her coma.  Nightcrawler is by her bedside.  Now that she is awake, he teleports her out of there.

Moments later.  They are in a cave, he has made a bed for her to lay down on.  He tells her that the X-Men were attacked and the team is scattered.

Today.  Xavier’s School for the Gifted.  Xavier is meeting with Wolverine, wanting to make sure he is okay.  He is.  Xavier gets a phone call, he is informed that Dazzler is missing.

In the cave, Nightcrawler has gotten Dazzler some food.  She really appreciates all that Nightcrawler is doing for her and touches his hand.  Poor Nightcrawler, this touch is all that he needs to go even further crazy in love with her.  She is still waiting for Angel to appear, as they are a bit of a couple.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 1

Back at the Mansion.  Xavier explains to the assembled team that Dazzler is missing.  She could have just gotten up and left but Xavier wants to make sure.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 2

Nightcrawler comes into the meeting, Shadowcat tells him that Dazzler is missing.  He does some decent acting.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 3

Wolverine wants to team-up with Nightcrawler.  Nightcrawler tells Wolverine that he is faster by himself.  You can see the panel where Wolverine sniffs Nightcrawler’s hand.

There is an ad for Civil War with Iron Man punching Captain America.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 4

The team leaves and Wolverine informs Xavier that Nightcrawler stinks of Dazzler.  Xavier sensed it as well.  Xavier makes Wolverine promise to not use excessive force.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 5

Nightcrawler gets back to Dazzler.  Shadowcat saves her from being possibly murdered.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 6

Nightcrawler knows this is now the worst case scenario.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 7

Nightcrawler gets to the surface, as Shadowcat and Dazzler do.  The team is ready to confront Nightcrawler.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 8

What I like about the rest of the issue is that we get to see how Nightcrawler would take down the X-Men.  He punishes Wolverine to his face.  Dazzler is not pleased that she was being held hostage.  I imagine she’s thinking of how horrible her life was going to be like in the future.

Colossus tries to confront Nightcrawler.  Nightcrawler is disgusted by Colossus’ lifestyle, which is a shame as that is the best part of Ultimate Colossus.  Nightcrawler teleports Colossus into the cave.  Nightcrawler teleports Wolverine away from the team.  Then, Nightcrawler teleports Cyclops into the air.  Later, he punches Storm to her face.  He is one of those face punchers you hear so much about.  Iceman tries to freeze Nightcrawler but he teleports Storm right into the blast.  So far, so good.  Rogue throws some charged playing cards.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 9

The cards lose all of their energy before they collide.  Rogue is taken back by the last of power.  Shadowcat tries to comfort Dazzler.  Cyclops, because no one is trying to save him, optic blasts the ground, and lands in soft mud.

Iceman keeps trying to tag Nightcrawler.  Rogue is trying to charge some rocks.  Colossus comes out of the ground.

Dazzler finally gets to start punching Nightcrawler.

Nightcrawler tries to explain himself, through tears.  He was hoping the time alone with him, Dazzler would have grown to love him and they would have just laughed about this later.  Everyone feels sad and disgusted by this.

Rogue touches Nightcrawler, absorbs his powers and a bit of his memories.  She starts teleporting all over the place.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 10

Wolverine finally gets back as the fight is way over.

Xavier Institute for Gifted Children.  Xavier is explaining how Nightcrawler is going to get treatment.

Ultimate X-Men Annual 2 Kitty 11

Dazzler quits as that is horribly unjust.  She could have been raped for days before anyone even knew she was in a cave.

Issue ends with Rogue talking to Nightcrawler, she has some of his memories.  She tells him that she knows.  She knows that he is a monster.

There is an ad for V for Vendetta, now on DVD.

There is a two page story about why Xavier’s cat’s name is Mystique.  It is because Emma named her that as she destroys everything, just like Mystique.

Inside back cover is an ad for Zoom, which is not very good.

Back cover ad is for he Dodge Caliber, that the Hulk thinks is a new boom box.

Cover Dated May 2007

Cover by Arthur Suydam

Happy Halloween, everybody!  I really should have done this last year, still can’t believe I didn’t think of Marvel Zombies has being the comic series that I can spotlight on Halloween.  So this is what we’re doing going forward as I have a few of these issues.

I only own this issue due to the cover, which is an homage to Uncanny X-Men 141.

There is an ad for Spider-Man 3 on the inside front cover.

Ashley J. Williams from Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, played by Bruce Campbell in the films – is teleported to the Marvel Zombie Universe.

What I really like about this comic is that it does directly tie in to the origins of the Marvel Zombies.

Ash sees a fight between Thunderball and Daredevil.  He then goes to the Avengers and they don’t care for his wise cracking ways.

There is a two page Honda car ad, what a waste that must have been!  Element SC, if you are curious.

Sentry comes crashing into the planet.  He has already been infected with the Zombie virus.  I’m not sure which Marvel Zombies miniseries later reveals it is Sentry, but I like how that universe’s origin is in a constant loop.  Sentry is being constantly thrown back in time and they are just reliving these moments in a time loop.

Sentry inflects Warbird, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Luke Cage.

There is a Playstation and Game Boy Advance Ghost Rider game, I wonder how that is?

Ash tells Spider-Man that the virus that is inflecting his hero friends may be the same type of virus that he has to deal with all of the time.

Captain America, who is Colonel America here – bites Spider-Man.

Issue ends with Ash being dropped to the ground (Spider-Man was carrying him) and is all webbed up at the moment.  Ash lands and looks up to see Zombie Hawkeye, Luke Cage and Warbird.

I don’t own any issues but I can only imagine Ash makes it out of this okay.  I know Zombies Colonel American and Spider-Man make it out as they are actively involved in future Marvel Zombie miniseries.

. . .

For anyone who is interested, Walker Dennis will be a Sock Monkey for his first Halloween.

Cover Dated April 2006

AAFES stands for Army & Air Force Exchange Service

According to the Wikipedia page :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_and_Air_Force_Exchange_Service

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense.  Its dual missions are to provide quality merchandise and services of necessity and convenience to authorized customers at uniform low prices, and to generate reasonable earnings to supplement appropriated funds for the support of United States Army and Air Force Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) programs.

Marvel, to support the troops, creates and provides an entire free comic to the soldiers.

My mother was in the Army from before I was born to when I was entering junior high school.  Thus, I am partial to that branch of the military.

Inside front cover has an ad for the PSP game, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max.

Issue opens with Spider-Man webbing Boomerang upside down on a skyscraper.  Spider-Man is updating him on how much nicer his life is now that he is an Avenger.  Even though he is fighting global threats now, he always has time for his old Rogues Gallery.

As he swings away, he continues to think how good he has it.  Mary Jane is happy, Aunt May is healthy and he is liked by his teammates – for the most part.

Spider-Man gets to Avengers Tower.  Jarvis has been knocked to the ground, and there is a portal.  Jarvis tells him there was a large fight and the X-Men were involved.

Spider-Man jumps through the portal.  The New Avengers and the Astonishing X-Men are in WWII.

The New Avengers are – Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Iron Man, Luke Cage and Captain America.

Astonishing X-Men are – Emma Frost, Wolverine, Cyclops, Colossus, Beast and Kitty.

Technically, Wolverine is a member of both teams.

Iron Man commits two pages to updating Spider-Man on what was and is still happening.

Kang the Conqueror has attacked the Tower.  Then he attacked minutes later but for Kang, it was four months later.  I do like how Kang doesn’t go farther into the past with each new attack.  He likes the challenge so he picked a moment in time and has rarely gone before it.

During the first attempt, Kang brainwashed the X-Men into attacking the Avengers.  Kang left behind some technology.

Now Kang’s plan is to kill WWII Captain America, thus the Avengers will not be the force they are now.  Which will also be a rough plot to one of the What If Age of Ultron issues.

The heroes used one of the portals to jump back in time.

There is a full page house ad of Marvel heroes supporting the military.  Heroes present are – Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Wolverine, Thing, Sue Richards and Spider-Man.

Instead of Spider-Man, they were hoping the Sentry would have entered the portal.

There is an ad for Rubbermaid – because bright, crisp colors aren’t just for comic books.  Which, even though there are vegetables only shown, took me a few seconds to figure out exactly was meant.

The plan is to fight Kang and his robots until there are no more robots or Kang gives up.  They have WWII Captain America hiding somewhere.  Spider-Man asks the question of why they don’t go farther in time to prevent Kang from attempting this latest plan.  Iron Man tells him that they can’t control the portal, it is dependent on Kang.

There is an ad for Samsung – immerse yourself in the experience.  I like how these ads are clearly some type of partnership so they can’t advertise a specific product – just their brand name.

Cyclops and the X-Men finally makes a proper appearance.  Cyclops tells them that they can’t risk losing any of the brave soldiers, as that could trigger a change in the time stream.  Though, wouldn’t it only create an alternate timeline?  That is typically how time travel works in the Marvel Universe.

Kitty quips about how that doesn’t add any pressure.  Emma is quick to tell Kitty that they are the X-Men, not the New Mutants.  Kitty calls her a cow – such an uncalled for comment from Emma.

Beast is trying to figure out how Kang controls the robots, so that they can skip having to fight them.

There is an ad for the PSP.

There is a pretty nice poster of both the New and Young Avengers teams.  The text in the bottom is – AAEFES has always gonr and will always go where you go as we have for the last 110 years.

Also an ad for Leatherman, which looks like a Swiss Army knife type of tool.  There are ads so you can take out the poster and not lose story pages for the reread.  That’s planning ahead.

Nice splash page of Kang, making his first appearance in the issue.

Colossus fastball specials Wolverine at Kang.  Kang blasts Wolverine away.

The original Howling Commandos parachute in.  Luke Cage is impressed.

Fury tells Cap they can offer a hand.  Spider-Man makes a bad joke that what they need is their guns – I had to read it twice to make sense if it.  Fury shoots him a look, with both eyes!  Spider-Man tells him that he gets that look from Future Fury quite often.

Lego, just imagine.

Kang wants WWII Cap, he threatens to kill them all if they don’t comply.  Spider-Man jokes to Iron Man that Kang should know that the Avengers have beat him before and can again.  Iron Man tells him that the villains never remember that.  Which is a nice observation by Kirkman.

Cap tells Emma, Spider-Man and Iron Man to get the injured soldiers to safety.

Wilson, a true testament to American craftsmanship.  This is the ad that I noticed that the brands had no products specifically shown.

There is an ad for Top-Flite, a brand I am not familiar with.  They make golf products.

WWII Cap shows up, finally.  Spider-Woman was doing her best to hide him.  This Cap confronts Kang.  If the future without him is truly horrible, he will surrender.  So Kang and he go into this alternate future.

Spider-Man wishes Reed Richards was there to explain the ramifications of these actions.  Iron Man is insulted as he is a world class genius, in his own right.  Iron Man echoes my theory that what should happen, is a divergent timeline would be created.

Kang brings Cap back and surrenders.  The future without Cap was okay, the Avengers have a little harder time with challenges but they still overcome.

Young Cap is surprised his older self, isn’t that much older.

The heroes come back to the present.  Wolverine is going to stick with the Avengers for the moment, as they have a bigger TV.  Kitty likes the idea of a bigger TV.

Jarvis is left to clean the mess up, by himself at issue’s end.

Inside back cover ad is fot Igloo, and not a cooler in sight.

Back cover ad for the PS2 24 game, which wasn’t bad.  It takes place between seasons two and three.  Three is my favorite season.  That moment with Jack Bauer, the terrorist’s daughter and the inflicted hotel?  I still reference that as the most bad arse moment of the series.  Jack in body armor in the eighth season, going after the former president, might be the second place holder.  I knew that president was corrupted, simply because the actor resembled Nixon to me.
