The first and final battle between Kickman and the Supreme Leader of Villain City.
“One wins, one dies!”
“There can be only one!”
“Who shall reign SUPREME?”
“Will Java Jaguar come to the rescue?”
“Excelsior!”
“‘Nuff said!”
“If you buy one comic this year–!”
“Have faith, true believers!”
Yeah, I couldn’t fit all those tag lines on the cover. I’m guessing most of you recognize this as the iconic cover of Uncanny X-Men #142. The actual tagline that appears on that cover in the bottom right corner is “This issue: Everybody Dies!” Which just makes it sound like that out-of-work, evil narrator is making a return. And I think this fight is already unfair enough without also having an evil narrator to contend with.
