Jean grey died on the moon
When I did visit my parent’s home, early in this summer, did I take a look of the status of my old comic books, that are archived on my parent’s attic. The preservation of the comic were not very well done, they where just pushed into some plastic bags and piled in random pile in far corner of the attic. I took all these comics down from the attic, to see what have survived and what was lost to water damage, and my youngest brother tradings of some of my Superman, Teen Titans and X-men comics to Donald Ducks comics!. The end status after I have checked and re-archived the surviving comics was disappointing. About 10 percent was totally destroyed, and most importantly, the X-men comics from the Dark Phoenix saga, that were the main reason for me, for looking through the archived comics. Where nearly all of them missing, death where are your sting?. Especially the show down at the moon with Dark Phoenix versus the X-men, was a beautiful produced comic. The wrapping of that comic was one long poster with colour, and with nearly no text on the front. Good old epic comic storytelling and I did love it. Lucky enough did the not-so-local-english-comic-pusher, have an omnibus of Dark Phoenix saga. The reread was a somewhat mixed experienced, as it often are, when I reread my old favourite book from my childhood. The central plot did still interest me, but some of the dialogs felt overblown, the characterisation where sometime paper thin and inconsistence. And Jean Grey without colour where drawn in away, that sometimes gave to me associations to a blow up doll, talk about mixed signal. But worst of all, did I realise, that my one big adventure into the fanfic writing scene ( 30000 words is long for me). That I had unconsciously copied some of dialogs, not word by word, but just a little to close, did I feel. Perhaps it should not have came as surprise for me, because when I wrote my fanfic story the Dark Phoenix sage, was a consciences inspiration for the fanfic story. It did not follow the DP plot more than in very broad sense. But I had not reread the DP saga in over ten years when I began my fanfic. So it must have made a fairly great impression on my young and innocent mind.
I wonder and i am looking forward to see, what impression the DP saga did to the director Bryan Singer.
P.S
It was Jean Grey that died on the moon. That is the story I am sticking with.
