''X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills'' (''Marvel Graphic Novel'' #5) is a graphic novel published in 1982 by Marvel Comics, starring their popular superhero team the X-Men. It was written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Brent Anderson. == Publication history == According to artist Neal Adams, he was originally approached by Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter to illustrate an early version of ''X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills'' (whose plot, according to Adams, was conceived of by Shooter). Since Adams insisted that his contract not be a standard-work-for-hire agreement, Marvel eventually chose Brent Anderson as the illustrator — despite the fact that Adams had already penciled some preliminary pages.〔Cooke, Jon B. "The Adams Impact: Celebrating Our Featured Artist and his Stint at Marvel Comics," ''Comic Book Artist Collection'' (TwoMorrows Publishing, 2000), p. 191.〕 ''God Loves, Man Kills'' was initially conceived as a non-canon X-Men story. The original first draft script called for the death of Magneto (which was illustrated by Neal Adams before his departure from the project), which would be the trigger event for the X-Men to begin investigating Stryker. Magneto's death was dropped once Adams left the project and the script rewritten into what became the published version. Published in 1982, for years the canonical status of ''God Loves, Man Kills'' existed in a state of flux. It was not officially considered canon until 2003, when the second X-Men film (which borrowed heavily from the graphic novel) was released in theaters and a sequel series ''God Loves Man Kills II'' was published in ''X-Treme X-Men'' #25-30. For later volumes of the ''Essential X-Men'' trade paperback series, the issue is placed between ''Uncanny X-Men'' #167 and #168. This is due to Cyclops' involvement in the story (Cyclops left the team after #167) and for the presence of the time displaced aging of Ilyanna Rasputin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
