Title: The Virus-X Saga Post by: Jor-El on December 13, 2005, 10:19:48 AM Are there any plans to put this comic online, from what i have read elsewhere on the Web, its apparantely quite poignant, is the Virus Superman contracts the same virus x from Krypton?
Title: Re: The Virus-X Saga Post by: Great Rao on December 13, 2005, 11:36:48 AM Yes, Superman actually contracts Virus-X - the one from Krypton - unlike that first story (http://superman.nu/tales3/lastdays/), where he only thinks he contracted it.
I've got the issues kicking around somewhere, but I wasn't that impressed with the story. :s: Title: Re: The Virus-X Saga Post by: Uncle Mxy on December 13, 2005, 12:23:26 PM Then there's the one where Supergirl contracts Virus X, and the famous Alan Moore Superman-Swamp Thing teamup where Superman might as well have contracted Virus X, but Superman inexplicably forgets about White K. :)

I remember reading it at the time and thinking "great story, but why doesn't Superman dig up the White K?"

The Virus X serial in Action - cool covers notwithstanding - was a bit of a drag. The art was by Andru & Espositio IIRC. Been years. Wait maybe it was yesterday - mebbe just mebbe Im going bonkers. Bloody'ell - that! Title: Re: The Virus-X Saga Post by: Gernot on December 16, 2005, 02:06:28 AM That was one of my favorite stories when I was growing up!
I actually HATED waiting for subsequent issues to come out! I had to read a cousin's copies, 'cause my parents could get us comics every month, and they didn't know/care about the differences between Superman and Action Comics! :) Heh. That actually reminds me of how I begged my Mom to buy me Superman #199 (the first Superman-Flash race), and she came home with a DIFFERENT Superman-Flash story! I ended up getting Superman #199 for Christmas that year, I believe! ;) Title: Re: The Virus-X Saga Post by: NotSuper on December 16, 2005, 04:07:20 AM I've always liked the idea of Superman having to deal with Kryptonian diseases. That's something that should make a comeback.
