Edit: JESSICA JONES! Sensational! I honestly prefer Kristen Ritter's take on the character than her comic counterpart, so this version is perfect. Bernthal Punisher looks great, too!

I was unaware of his X-men appearance from that period, but it makes sense since he was showing up as a foil for other flagship titles/characters. I need to read Uncanny 144. It's ironic, but one of my very first X-men books, gifted to me by a family friend, was issue 143. lol Which cemented Kitty as a favorite character for me...I've also hoped that a N'Garai would show up as a X-men themed Marvel Legends toy for many years now, thanks to that Christmas issue...

Ah, the N'Garai issue! One of my personal favourites. Marking the final collaboration between Claremont and Byrne, and proving Kitty's worth to the team as a fully-fledged member.

Now I could be wrong, but didn't D'Spayre pop up in an issue of Excalibur also? Makes sense, since the big Chris co-created him.

This is good news indeed. Combined with Moonstone and Radioactive Man (and to a lesser extent Blizzard and Speed Demon), the Thunderbolts set is slowly growing (if Melissa wins, that is)...



(all this Thunderbolts talk ignited a need to reread some on my part, hence the art references)

I wouldn't worry about Solo missing out, Nitelife. I can see a Deadpool wave being released to coincide with his second film, so Solo will hopefully appear there! In fact, I imagine all of these choices shall be made sooner or later.
