Personally, I would love to see more of COLD WAR. I think that was some of JB's best work in his entire career and that's saying a lot! ************** YES!

Sorry, my question was phrased poorly.
I was intending to ask what new project we will see published next by IDW.

That was a beautifully drawn series.
Then again, all of JB's books are beautifully drawn, sooo...

***** True. However, I felt the writing was what really grabbed me on this one. I really thought JB excelled on this series even more so than usual.

This is starting to remind me of those gaming forums that I go to so often: IS IT HERE YET? I prefer to be patient and watch the space.

I wonder if anyone has ever tallied the total number of times Dark Phoenix has actually been reprinted, on its own and in Masterworks and such!
Off the top of my head, the first reprinting was that trade paperback with the Bill Sienkiewicz painted cover, and that got printed in at least two different trade dresses. Next up would have been as a single issue in Classic X-Men. Marvel Masterworks hardcover after that. Once with a single image of Dark Phoenix by JB, with a fire effect behind her, around 2000 under the "Marvel's Finest" trade imprint. Once with new art (maybe Carlos Pacheco?) of Dark Phoenix under the "Marvel Legends" imprint; the design on that one's pretty clumsy, as the word "X-Men" covers up her right hand entirely, which is a really odd mistake for a single-figure piece. Once in Essential X-Men volume 2, which has probably had a few different covers at this point. Repackaged once with the cover to Uncanny X-Men #135, once with the cover to Uncanny X-Men #136. Most recently was probably the softcover Marvel Masterworks edition, and X-Men Omnibus 2 coming out in the spring covers it all over again.
It's almost to the point that someone could make their whole focus as a collector keeping tabs on The Dark Phoenix Saga.

Very recently, I wanted to buy a TPB of the Dark Phoenix Saga as a gift for someone who is unfamiliar with the Claremont/Byrne/Austin X-Men era. I don't know about different versions, but the one I own (that first one with the Bill Sienkiewicz cover) ends with issue #137, the final pages of which are Phoenix's death. What a downer!I much prefer going one issue further and ending on that more hopeful note of Kitty arriving at the school to begin her studies (last half-a-page of #138). For that reason, more than any other, I bought Essential X-Men Volume 2 for this person's gift. |

I had the first printing of the Dark Phoenix Saga until I just recently gave it to a friends son who likes comics. I have it in the X-Men Masterworks books, so I figured no need to keep two "copies" around when he had none.
