Written by Jim Borgman. Art and cover by Jerry Scott.

Sixteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan is a high school sophomore and an aspiring musician. He daydreams about the day when his band records its first monster hit single and he and his bandmates all pile into his van for their cross-country, sold-out concert tour. Between naps, study hall, and band practice, Jeremy still manages to find time to be the star of this hugely popular comic strip. Jeremy is a good kid. He is intelligent and kind, yet he still has the attitude that one would expect from a teenager. His unpredictable mood swings and monosyllabic answers to his parents mild-mannered questions often leave them baffled and bemused.

Zits was created in 1997 by Pulitzer Prize– and Reuben Award–winning editorial cartoonist Jim Borgman and Reuben Award–winning cartoonist/writer Jerry Scott. The creators, who are parents themselves, have a keen insight into the many physical and emotional changes that teens go through during adolescence, and they have the gift of addressing these common dilemmas with compassion and humor.

It's up to X-Force to save him, but how can they leave Otherworld's peaceful citizens to fend for themselves against the invading army? Now, X-Force is fighting for their lives on two fronts - to save the denizens of Otherworld and to prevent the Corps from executing Fantomex for the murder of an innocent child. And chances are good that not everyone will make it home alive!
