Luckily, that crucial creator was the one to bring Warlock back and this is where I came in. Eventually, the company brought him back because it was theirs and there was money to be made with a recognizable name. Endings are rare in corporate-owned comics and often illusory.


One set of creators made him, another set renamed him and set the stage, another made his stories matter and gave the character an ending. Since 1967, many different creators have written, drawn, inked, colored and lettered his stories. I did and kept up with his new adventures while tracking down the past ones. It was a new series and maybe I’d like it. I was sick and my mom brought me back a comic recommended by the guy who owned the gas station in town. I first encountered Adam Warlock when I was nine. Not about the quality of the film or how the character is adapted, I’m worried that the adapted version will filter back into the comics and supplant the original, the one that made me care. My favorite fictional character is about to be adapted into live action for the first time and I’m nervous.
