X-Statix Presents: Dead Girl

Publisher: Marvel Comics
File Type: .CBR
Format: 5 Issue Limited Series

Writer: Peter Milligan
Artists: Nick Dragotta (p), Mike Allred (i)

Dr. Strange detects a disturbance in the natural order. A dead super villain called ‘The Pitiful One’
has returned from hell with a hand full of other dead Marvel characters. They attack the UN,
resulting in much death and infamy. Strange knows there’s only one person who can help stop
this undead threat: Dead Girl.

I have to tell you right now Dead Girl doesn’t show up until the last page of the story.
This is really a Dr. Strange comic. Strange feels depressed over his lonely life. He wonders
why he can’t relate to other people on a mundane level. And when did he start using
archaic words on a regular basis? There’s a real down side to being the Sorcerer Supreme.
The focus on Strange could be Milligan’s way of auditioning for a new Dr. Strange series,
or just doing the Strange story he always wanted to do disguised as an X-Statix comic. I
think Milligan has a good grip on the character and shows a new side to Strange
