When TV shows go off the air, and have prior notice about it, they make a Series Final to their show. To wrap everything up and let the audience know how things end, sometimes even showing what happens in the future (since the audience wont see it).
But Comics never end. Superman debuted in 1938, Batman debuted in 1939, Spider-Man in 1962, and the X-Men in 1963. They will most likely go on forever. But some stories, like the X-Men for example have hinted at their main goal. The X-Men strive to get Mutants accepted as part of society and eliminate the fear and hatred of Mutants. But because this comic may never ever end, we may never see them reach that goal.
What if you could write a Comic's Series Final?
Who would you choose? And what would their last story be? How would you wrap everything up?
For example, The X-Men. How would their last story go? Would Mutants finally be accepted? Would the X-Men finally be seen as Heroes? Would Magneto finally start the war between Mutants and humans and set things in motion, or would he see the light and join the X-Men for good? Would the X-Men be a Government funded peace keeping force? Would all of the Earth eventually evolve into Mutants?
What about Spider-Man? How would his story wrap up? Would his final fight be with Doc Ock? Would he and MJ finally end up together and happy? Would he be celebrated as the hero he has always been?
What about his enemies?
Other "Last Story" comics are more what ifs. Showing Spider-Man retired with a leg injury and his Daughter taking over as the Spider-hero. Or showing the last epic battle of the aging super heroes in one last effort to stop evil. And they are usually sad, and depressing. While many last episodes of TV shows wrap things up in a positive way to let you know things will be fine without the audience. If this "Series Finale" was in completely continuity and was the end of the character's story, how would you end it?
Pick any character you want, and tell how their story ends.
