So the cover. Oh. srug I remember that arc. He couldn't have had more than a cameo or I woulda flipped sh*t.

OMFG Dark Angel is there too?! Yeah, I'd be really interested to know the answer to this.

Well played 😛

Oh no thats the variant cover, which is literally pages from inside the comic. I can scan the interior pages if you want, but it;s literally the same as the cover. I just double checked and that was it for his apperance.

Yeah I liked Dark Angel too, no clue where that is from.

No need, I have the comic somewhere. Thanks though.

Dark Angel had one of the cooler power sets ever, imo. Just incredibly versatile. I had a lot of her stuff collected for a respect thread at one point, but I lost it somewhere along the line. Much like Minion, nothing strictly new, but presented in a badass way.

Oh I remember where that scan is from! it's from Captain Britain and MI-13 #15. Completly gapped that.

Wikipedia to the rescue:

Death's Head appeared briefly in the final issue of the Captain Britain and MI13 ongoing series, as one of the MI13 reserves battling against an army of vampires on the moon. Whereas the other Marvel UK characters reintroduced in the issue were accompanied with captions explaining their long absences from the Marvel Universe (e.g. "Back from space"😉, Death's Head was captioned as "Just... back!", and given the line "Surprise appearance, yes?!".

The wiki actually does a good job sifting through facts to piece together a coherent idea of how they all fit together. DH 3.0 in particular is troublesome from a continuity standpoint, but not without explanations. Seems 3.0 was a predecessor to Minion, and there's hints that Minion's creator is around and active in the current MU (working for Osborne? I fell out of the loop recently, gotta catch up on some titles). It's also implied that the S.W.O.R.D. DH was pre-Transformers, and Doctor Who actually stated that he sent DH to the Transformers-verse in an old comic (The Incomplete Death's Head #12 - the Doctor gets around apparently) so in a kooky, time travel sense, it kind of works.

Yeah. Trying to say the Orginal DH and having a normal Time continuity is like trying to say Sally sells sea shells down by the sea shore with a live grenade in your mouth.

And the Death's Head .3 was a good story but a big let down for any true DH fan's.
Even Simon Furman said so.
