Franchise Comic Review: Jason vs Jason X

Having Jason go into Space and become a cybernetic organism in the film Jason X opened up the gateways for endless storylines to be created by enthusiastic and imaginative authors looking to expand on the Jason X universe. Since the film bombed financially at the box office, the only way fans would see any continuation of Mr. Voorhees and Earth 2 would be through books and comics. Black Flame published an entire set of books dedicated to the Jason X concept and as such the comics realm was not far behind.

Avatar Press published a 2 issue mini-series comic in February 2006 featuring the "Human" Jason Voorhees going up against his cyborg counterpart Uber-Jason. How would something like this come about? Read on for the official break down of both issues.

Friday The 13th: Jason vs Jason X

Issue #1

The gore-drenched showdown of a lifetime erupts in the depths of space as the undead, mass-murderer Jason Voorhees is reborn to face the cybernetically-enhanced and unstoppable future version of himself! As Jason X stalks the halls of an interstellar pleasure cruiser, a deep-space salvage team make their way into the remnants of the space catamaran Grendel, where the Uber-Jason was created. Hoping to gut the ship of its most valuable assets, the team instead unwittingly revives a curse that transcends time itself and reawakens the one, original Jason Voorhees. Jason's divided reign of terror will be short-lived, however, as both halves of Earth's most dreaded serial killer are drawn to one another for a confrontation that can have only one victor... And one survivor!

Issue #2

It's the battle royale as the regenerated Jason Voorhees and the futuristic Jason X fight to the death in a gut-spilling horror spectacle! As the titanic clash cuts down all those around them, the pilotless space cruiser that serves as the Jasons' battle arena descends toward Earth 2 and an impact that neither combatant can hope to survive. But will a fiery and certain death halt the terrifying showdown, as both Jason and Jason X struggle to rip their most vital secret from the undead corpse of the other? Only one shall survive in a shocking and horrifying finale as you have never seen or dared to guess!
