Princess Di Reborn In Comic

[SANdMAN]

Marvel Comics will resurrect the late Princess Diana as a mutant superhero in an upcoming issue of the satiric X-Statix comic, Entertainment Weekly reported. Diana will be depicted as a heroine in September in a story called "Di Another Day."

Written by Englishman Peter Milligan and drawn by Mike Allred, X-Statix is a satire on celebrity culture starring the media-savvy mutants formerly known as X-Force. In Issue No. 13 of X-Statix, Marvel said, "Everyone's favorite royal, Princess Diana, is back from the dead and on her comeback tour ... and it's up to the X-Statix to keep her alive!" EW reported.

Diana turns out to be a mutant, though Marvel won't divulge what her super power is. She's targeted by "a nasty crew of mutant Eurotrash dead set on sending her back where she came from," Marvel told the magazine. Milligan added, "Diana may not resemble the flying, lethally oscillating characters that populate my comic, but the strange power she exerts from beyond the grave certainly makes her a valid subject to explore." And, he said, "She looks great in Spandex!"

A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace, meanwhile, told the British Daily Mail newspaper, "This is utterly appalling. It appears to be a cheap attempt to cash in on Diana's fame."
