Longshot’s luck did not run out with The End of X-Factor. The former X-Man stars in his own limited series Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe by writer Christopher Hastings and artist Jacopo Camagni. Longshot’s mullet it gone and he’s got chops.

 

Hastings says the hero with “good luck” powers will save Marvel from everything from “super powered serial killers to totalitarian government regimes to the total destruction of reality” in a new Marvel.com interview.

 

Longshot was created by Ann Nocenti and Arthur Adams in their classic limited series then adopted by Chris Claremont’s X-Men for a long run before joining Peter David’s X-Factor.

HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN Scary Spider-Man Story

As we count down to Halloween I want to share some “so good they’re scary” comic book stories you should give a try…if you dare!

 

One of my all-time favorite Spider-Man stories is Kraven’s Last Hunt. This classic final showdown between Peter Parker and Sergei Kravinoff was also known as Fearful Symmetry.

 

An obsessed killer and a monster in the sewer are classic horror movie elements and drive this comic book tale of terror. Of all of Spidey’s horrific costumed villains it’s the pure insanity of Kraven’s eyes and sense of purpose that give me chills. Continue reading HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN Scary Spider-Man Story
