X-Men #390, Death of...; Colleen Duran Update, Movie News.

For those of you who missed "Ultimate Spider-Man #1" Marvel has reprinted and re-issued the first three issues of "Ultimate Spider 1,2,3" and made it avialiable at your local comic shop retailer.

I remember only a couple months ago Marvel being quoted that they had "no plans" to re-issue Ultimate Spider-Man #1. Yeah, Riiiggghhhhhhtttt.

=================

In issue #390 of Uncanny X-Men you will witness the death of the character Colossus. On Marvel's website at http://www.marvel.com when Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada is asked "Is He Dead for Good?" Joe wants the death to be "...make it as permanent as possible" in order to have meaning.

X-Men #110 will be a follow-up to Uncanny X-Men #390. If you like the Colossus character, and can afford it, you might want to pick up both issues.
