Giant-Size X-Men: Thunderbird Digs Up Wolverine/Punisher: Revelation

Today's Giant-Size X-Men: Thunderbird #1 by Nyla Rose, Steve Orlando and David Culter sees the return of John Proudstar, the first X-Man to die, back to life as part of the Krakoan Resurrection protocols. But it's another dive to the mutant past that caught my attention.

With the work of The Heritage Initiative to harvest and weaponise mutant DNA.

And that's a blast from the past. Orchis has a very secure e-mail system that kills those who are not cleared. And takes us back to Wolverine/Punisher: Revelation from 1999 by Tom Sniegowki, Christopher Golden, Pat Lee, and Alvin Lee.

Revelation, a mutant who slowly kills all those around her. With Punisher and Wolverine fighting over her fate. And, with various parties at play, she gets caught in the crossfire and dies herself.

At which point, she gets taken by angels.

Because that, at the time, was what the Punisher did. All very pre-Garth Ennis-and-Steve Dillon.

So the angels took her to heaven – but left her body in the sewers to be grabbed and turned into a secure e-mail encryption service by Orchis? Almost makes you feel that they neglected their duty of care…
