10 Comic Book Spin-Offs Of Iconic Horror Franchises

10. Jason Vs Jason X

How do you make Jason Voorhees in space even more of a ridiculous thing? Well, if you're Avatar Press, you publish a crossover in which Jason of the Future (Jason X is the name of the film, alright) meets and fights himself; Jason Prime, if you will. And they say superhero comic books are silly.

Such is the idea behind Jason vs Jason X, published by Avatar Press in 2006. When the remains of the original Jason Voorhees are reborn (in space) from a bit of leftover splatter, the hulking psychopath crosses paths with his cybernetically-enhanced self from Jason X. Neither Jason will make allowances for their shared DNA, and it's not long before the Voorheeses are knocking lumps out of each other (in space). Whoever wins... we lose. Again.

Like the rest of the New Line properties published by Avatar, Jason vs Jason X is a mixed bag. Still, even the rough art and dodgy writing can't spoil what might be the best thing to come out of Jason X (aside from the film itself, of course): Jason Voorhees fighting Cyber-Jason in space, while also chopping kids to bits. Except, you know, in the future.
