Reflex

Reflex burst onto the Marvel scene in 2000, a creation of the legendary team of Roger Stern and John Byrne whose collaborative work on Marvel: The Lost Generation gave readers a fascinating window into a forgotten corner of Marvel history. That twelve-issue series — told in reverse chronological order — was itself a collector's gem, and Reflex's debut in issue #12 carries key-issue status to prove it. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, compact presence in the Marvel Universe, sharing pages with an intriguing ensemble including Black Fox, Pixie, Positron, and others — the kind of deep-cut company that rewards readers who love hunting the margins of Marvel lore. If you're drawn to Modern Age discoveries with a Golden Age soul, Reflex is exactly the sort of find that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
