POISON-X finale
Written by Cullen Bunn
Penciled by Edgar Salazar
Cover by Will Robson
Published March 7, 2018
As the X-Men and Starjammers float in deep space, Cyclops can no longer sense Jean. But on the other side of the ship, she's still there, onlycorrupted by Poisons. Venom springs into action, protecting the mutants from being infected by Kraven and his parasites. Unfortunately the same can't be said for Killer Thrill's crew.
Angel backs away from the barbs until Jean is able to grab all of them in a TK field. As they close in, they're zapped by Cyclops who arrives just in time. One even takes Iceman's boyfriend's form but Venom explains it's a trick. As Scott deals with the fact she's no longer truly there, Jean and Killer Thrill are now gaining strength.
They fight Corsair's crew who are able to cover the X-Men as they escape. Venom explains to Scott that Jean is no longer with them. The poison has essentially killed her. Meanwhile Henry calls Danger to retrieve them via Blackbird and Bobby forms an ice tunnel to get them there.
As they leave, it sinks in to all of them that Jean is truly gone. Cyclops blows up the tunnel and scatters the poisons into space. One grabs Angel and he flames on to kill the symbiote along with the parasite.
The fight lasts a few more blows as they all make their way to the ship. Eventually they're all retrieved and safe at port care of Corsair. The X-Men return to earth short a member, and the Starjammers return the Klyntar home. When they get there though, the planet is deserted. The story continues in Venomized, but for Venom and the X-Men, this story has come to a conclusion.
So that's kind of a weird way to kill an X-Man. I know it's been done like that before, especially since these characters have all died more times than I can count. Still, it's weird that Jean Gray from the 60's is gone. Just like that. In space. And in the Venom book. Weird... I give this one a 9/10.
