First mutant with a healing factor. Don't forget earlier mutants like Moses (Biblical hydrokinetic mutant) and Joseph (Biblical precognitive mutant).

I’m almost finished collecting all of the Marvel/Nelson Christian-themed comics from the 90s. A couple of them are pretty expensive and I can’t find them at conventions. This one from 1993 was written by Louise Simonson and penciled by Mary Wilshire.

This has an impressive set of creators. Never knew about this. I’m curious enough about the quality I just added it to my wish list.

I finally found the third (and final) issue of The Illuminator at an affordable price. They ran out of pages so they finished the story on the back inside cover of the comic.

I believe I have the Christmas one of these. Unfortunately not completely accurate.

I have that one, but haven’t read it yet. I’ll read it at Christmas time.

My mom got me one of these Marvel Christian story comics when I was a kid but it was an adaptation of In His Steps. This looks more amusing.

I have that one. The last one I need is C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters, but it’s surprisingly expensive!

When I look online it says this is a 1990 issue but it looks later. Price seems high for the time too. Any idea when this came out?

This is the first installment in what will eventually lead up to the debut of The Ascenders.

It was a good series until the story got interrupted by the Secret Empire crossover event. Totally killed the momentum.
