Poor, poor Scott Summers. The dude is always being plagued by his dead loved ones returning from the grave to haunt the laser shooting hero. The newest return-from-the-grave-to-torment-you villain? How about the Goblin Queen (a.k.a. Madelyne Pryor)? Her return and much more in the upcoming Uncanny X-Men #504.
It’s written by fan favorites Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction, and with art by Terry Dodson, there’s a very good chance there’s greatness inside. And on the outside too! Check out that awesome cover! I smell poster in the works!
UNCANNY X-MEN #504 (SEP082388)
Written by ED BRUBAKER & MATT FRACTION
Pencils & Cover by TERRY DODSON
It seemed like a new start in San Francisco is just what the X-Men needed, until an old enemy from the past caught up to them. After the stunning revelation last issue, a red-headed woman from Cyclops’ past appears to have returned from the dead—is Madelyne Pryor alive? But that’s not all: The fallout from MESSIAH COMPLEX rains down on the X-men when the footage of the Alaskan Massacre is leaked to the press! Plus, Colossus encounters an enemy from the Old Country while Angel & Beast discover a hero long thought dormant!
Uncanny X-Men #504 arrives November 19, 2008, and will sell for $2.99.
I wasn’t too impressed with the first issue, but this book has been getting better with each issue since. Dodson’s art is a breath of fresh air, too.
So who are the girld in the upper right? Psylocke and Betsy Braddock? Confused I Am.
OS – You’re exactly right, or you could say Psylocke and Revanche…
the Uncanny X-Flappers?
@ OS Perry & Josh P.
From left to right, it’s Kwannon and Psylocke (looking pre-Asian). Last I heard, Kwannon was dead. And obviously, Psylocke is now Asian and is currently reality hopping with the Exiles. I’m not sure if this is just a classic type pin-up cover, or if there’s actual meaning behind it. I wouldn’t mind seeing Kwannon again, although Betsy returning to her original, Caucasian body would be pretty odd.
It’s Pixie and Psylocke.
