Loved ‘Mickey 17’? You’ve Got to Dig Into this Iconic X-Men Comics Storyline

Mickey 17, Bong Joon-Ho’s latest film – based on the book Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton – was released just a couple weeks ago. The sci-fi comedy deals with a subject that, while not new, raises several moral questions every time it’s touched – resurrection through cloning. Robert Pattinson’s Mickey is treated as an Expendable, allowing for him to be cloned after his several deaths. But, after a failed mission, his 17th iteration (Mickey 17) is erroneously reported as dead. Resurrected for an 18th time, both clones need to learn to coexist.
