![]() ![]() There is usually a lot of misdirection with Mister X. By the end of the book who he’s a mystery again. We know who he is, what his job was, and the main heavy of the piece is his old college roommate. Mister X has always been a mysterious character but in the first story there is a lot of clarity about him. There are three main stories in the twelve issues and each one gets more mysterious. ![]() ![]() I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it since in my mind it was still “The Mister X I didn’t like.” Not anymore. This volume starts out a little slow but then keeps getting better and better. Volume one was in color but volume two is black and white. This collection of Mister X “The Brides of Mister X” collects the twelve issues of volume 2 plus a few extra short stories. But there hasn’t been any new Mister X stuff in a while so it dawned on me recently that there was a big hole in my Mister X reading that was volume two. Now it’s 2023 and for the past 20 years or so I’ve been reading and enjoying all the new Mister X comics that Dean Motter has been doing with Dark Horse. From then on in I referred to volume one as the Mister X I liked and volume two as the Mister X I didn’t like. I guess I didn’t like the new creative team or maybe time had passed and I lost my interest in Mister X in general. But when volume two came out five years later in 1989 I bought the first issue and that was it. I bought the original issues from volume one off the racks as they came out. ![]()
