All signings are free, thanks to the Cleveland Public Library and their Superman Anniversary celebration. More information on these and all their tie-in events can be found on www.supermanscleveland.com! MARVEL COMICS After the events of the Hellfire Gala, Jean Grey is on the brink of death. How did she end up here? What choices did she make to bring herself to this point?
