Disco Dazzler goes Punk!

 

The new look for the X-Man inspired a spectrum of reaction after Brian Michael Bendis revealed Kris Anka’s new design via Tumblr.

 

Whether you love or loathe – isn’t it exciting that fans are passionate about this longtime X-Man’s fate?

 

That’s the power of a writer like Bendis. I don’t like to categorize characters as A to Z because to some readers that hero is beloved.  (Somewhere someone is hoping for a Maggot resurrection!) I like to say there are front burner or marquee characters and there are back burner characters. Unfortunately some heroes are so far back they’re practically in the freezer.

An ominous quote from a thrilling and strange new arc of X-Men by Brian Wood and Kris Anka.

So much for most of my theories on the one word teaser for Resurrection.

 

It is a new arc of X-Men by Brian Wood and Kris Anka. It promoted a 3-issue arc called Ghosts according to Comic Book Resources. The new arc follows Muertas which introduces a new Sisterhood of Evil Mutants led by a newly redesigned Lady Deathstrike and non-mutant villains (Enchantress, Typhoid Mary) in her squad.

 

The all-female X-Men will face an enemy blames the mutants for nearly killing her. So who could that be? Continue reading X-MEN Resurrection Reveals GHOSTS
