Writer Peter Milligan and artists Mike and Laura Allred's The X-Cellent has picked up the baton of the creators' cult classic X-Statix series. And now, in this preview of The X-Cellent #3, Zeitgeist and his new team attempt to wipe the old X-Statix off the ma🔴p - literally.
In the preview pages, Zeitgeist and his new pals the X-Cellent take to the streets - Hollywood Boulevard,𓆏 to be exact - blasting the old X-Statix members' stars right off the Walk of Fame.
For those who may not know, many celebrities have been honored with name placards decorating the sidewalk on a portion of Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles - AKA the Walk of Fame.&ꦦnbsp;
And in the Marvel Universe, the Walk of Fame no longer includes the stars belonging to the old X-Statix team. That's not all, either, as the pages also show Zeitgeist con▨sulting with his sinister AI Dox as part of his plans.
Here's the gallery of pages:
The original X-Statix were reality TV stars along with being superheroes, often motivated 💝by fame and profit as much as heroism and justice. That idea has carried into the modern day, where they're once again seen as celebrities - as evidenced by their stars on the Walk of Fame.
"The public is going gaga for the X-Statix! But do their methods for reaching stardom justify the ends?" reads Marvel's official solicitation for The X-Cellent #3. "And can Zeitgei👍st make his way back into the mainstream - or is he totally washed up?"
The X-Cellent #3 goes on sale May 24.
