I sure hope not. They are beyond that and it would be a big step backwards. I dont mind seeing them wearing variations of the color scheme but I want new costumes

[Havok83]

I didnt realize that the artist is the guy that worked on Worlds Apart. Great choice bc I loved the art on that title

[chamber-music]

I remember when Cannonball joined the X-Men the first time around and had a costume similar to Cyclops.

Which was also similar to Cable. Talk about lack of originality. Marvel gave all 3 men variations of the same basic costume

[Majik1387]

The blue and yellow costumes have always been part of X-Men history though...

[Havok83]

True, the color scheme has but that specific costume had more than just the colors in common. Alot of the same elements are seen with only slight variations

[Majik1387]

Same with the Yellow and Blue costumes pretty much though. It's sorta become the X-Men uniform.

[Colossal Spoons]

Look at all those pouches!

true but the all blue top, suspenders and red X on the chest are charateristics of the variation worn by these 3

True, but I'm sure they're not the only 3 to have that detail, or that that detail is the only redone one.

They're the only ones that come to mind with those specific variations. Most others tend to just get the regular generic one seen here:

[OutcryX]

damn..the women have GINORMOUS X buckles on their belts...i guess to hide that feminine pouch thing...

[Havok83]

lol..thats ironic considering they are the 2 X women that tend to wear the less clothing in their individual costumes

My favourite New Mutants period was when Bill Sienkiewicz was doing the art.

[Havok83]

His art was odd yet effective. I liked that era too and it was New Mutants at its peak

Sienkiewicz was FANTASTIC on the series.

Looking forward to this new one...with reservations. I don't have much faith in Marvel these days.

MARVEL SPOTLIGHT: NEW MUTANTS
Written by JOHN RHETT THOMAS
When the New Mutants burst onto the scene during the early ’80s, they gave young readers an insight into the life of teenage mutants living in the shadow of the world-beating X-Men. For many at the time, Dani, Rahne, Sam, Roberto and Shan weren't just new mutants — they were OUR mutants! And for the next decade, we thrilled along with their exploits as they honed their powers and became bona-fide heroes among the various teams of X-Men. Now, in the wake of X-INFERNUS, the classic lineup of New Mutants is back together again! Join MARVEL SPOTLIGHT as we have a blast covering 25 years of great storytelling and exciting action, and look forward to the lives of our heroes as told by writer Zeb Wells and artist Diogenes Neves. It'll be a New Mutants classic!

I'm probably gonna go with the Ross cover.

[Havok83]

Legion? Didnt he die? I wonder how he returns

[OutcryX]

not only did he die..but he died in a pretty permanent fashion..much like Stryfe...and magneto...and Apocalypse..and Sinister...I actually like Legion though

not as a villian however...wanted him to come back and help his dad

[Colossal Spoons]

Wells is writing? I love it already. He pwned the first YA/Runaways crossover.

[OutcryX]

just say NO to powerful little girls
