Comics A MODERN take on CLASSIC characters...

[Dew k. Mosi]

That look for Cannonball might work well in Texas, Nevada or Australlia, but not in Los Angeles, California.

I don't think that look would work ANYWHERE. It looks bleedin' horrid.

 

[Generation Lee]

Seriously the designs of the X-Men are fine its just the aren't really original in terms of style etc. Yes they are outcast, Mutants but that doesn't mean they have to be punky and homless does it????

Its always nice to see anothers take on the X-Men.

 

[masterj]

Beast looks like he has rabies or something and Cannonball's design is hideous. I like the Rogue design though, she's wearing Converses if anyone noticed.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Hey Mags, I think Snoop Dogg wants his coat and hat back....

 

[mightiest_mortal]

well... its good to see someone elses take on the X-Men.

There are some good ideas there, like I really think Iceman should be wearing something a bit younger + Rogue looks kinda cool.

I think i agree with all the comments tho, they seem really shallow and trampy.

Cyclops modelled on Johnny knoxville.. i think that says it all for him.

Gambit looks more like he should be collecting Pokemon

Colosus is a ridiculously stereotyped Russian.

Cannonball... oh dear.

Iceman IS Terry Bogard

Bishop is HYSTERICAL

Nightcrawler looks kinda cool, but as a devil worshiper is pretty sad.

Beast shouldnt be an intelligent Doctor and shud just be a dumb thug? Wouldnt that just make him a blue version of Sabretooth?

All the women after revenge on Archangel? lameness

 

[Telekinetic]

they look cool.

jean and jugss look the same. archangle and storm look awful.

but its great art

The backstories are pretty interesting, I just think they all look a bit too Euro-trashy. I wouldn't be opposed to maybe reading a mini-series or something about them.

I co-sign. I always like seeing new interpretations of the characters, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to go along with it for too long.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

I absolutely hate the Iceman version. And although I like the idea of him becoming the leader instead of Cyke, his boyish appearance doesn't seem to fit that of a leader.

Then again, we all have to step back for a moment and remember that these are their civilian clothes. Not their X-uniforms. Although, it does say they're a part of a team, it never really says they're conformed to being "X-Men"... In the sense of the word. Since Xavier has long since gave up on his dream.

 

[ghost113]

I truly hate the stories but the designs are cool,And really think iceman is my favorite.

 

[S7ilver]

They're decent but..I hate the Storm, Rogue, and Jean Grey team. First-off the fact that they're the only females and someone thought that it was a good idea to round em' up and plop them together for no other reason but their sex. What I really hate though is their story, how typical that the men have many different aspects to them but of course the women only want to get revenge from a player who took advantage of them. I thought this was a modern take on classic characters? Not a time-machine back to the 1950's, and considering none of these women are anywhere near as strong, smart, mature, etc as their counterparts I don't see where the pros are to this group.

 

[Max J Power]

The drawings are good, but I don't think a whole book of the X-Men looking like SNK characters would work well..

 

[ghost113]

I don't even think it was be good as a book but the designs are different and interesting.

 

[Balian]

The guy's seriously talented, I find most of the ideas ok.

 

[ghost113]

Does any one else think these are good designs besides me and Balian?

 

[ProfeZZor X]

No....... Not really.

Euro-trash may work as a subculture here in the states, but not as an iconic statement representing these popular characters.... In other words, don't try and reinvent the wheel with cheap and tasteless gimmics. (Not you Ghost113, the artist)

I was considering the art more instead of the ideas.

 

[ProfeZZor X]

Even in today's trendy pop culture we call America, these hooligans really wouldn't fit in to the scheme of things.... Could you really see these characters roaming the streets on middle America, or east/west coasts?

And before you bring up the "yellow spandex" debate, remember, those costumes and that society was already established since the begining. Anything thereafter is open to critiscism and interpretation... Although I admire his exercise of free speech on how he views these characters.

No man, I don't think you understood what I meant. I totally agree with what you're saying.
But I was saying I'm not being bad on the guy because his art is really good.

 

[Prettyboy]

Cyclops- no
Gambit- Hat and scarf borrowed from Cannonball
Colossus- NO NO NO the iron curtain fell long ago
Beast- Looks frail
Wolverine- like it, cept the hair cut
Nightcrawler- Looks pretty wicked cept wassup wit them pants????
Xavier- Is he in the final stages of Altzheimers?
Angel- Hair cut rocks, suit and pose looks queer
Banshee- That's cool, that would make a better Cannonball than Sean
Storm and Rogue- NO
Jean_ Pretty cool, like the phoenix on the jacket
Cannonball- NO
Iceman- Nix the hat, only other prob is that his pants AND boxers are sagging, and we all know, crack is wack!
Bishop- Please give your 16 year old nephew his outfit back!
Magneto- or the crypt keeper???
Juggernaut- Awesome!
Sabes- "Uncle Buck, did you drink ALL the corn whisky again?"
The art is good, some of the concepts are a little off for me.

I'll agree with you too on his artwork. Although I've seen better.

Is the guy who did these concepts a professional? I didn't really look around his blog much.

 

[Lactose]

Yes! Anyway, every decade should have it's own comic-book X-men. Do we want the movie X-Men to take over our beloved heroes?

I've been reading X-Men since I was knee high to a Jawa, and they need a kick up the jacksie every so often just to keep 'em fresh.

These look sweet dude. It's X-Men, with a dash of Morlocks...

They're rejects from a CLOCKWORK ORANGE convention... That's what they are. Plus, he dissed Bishop in the worst way. Out of all of the characters, why did he have to be a drug dealer? With Warren being so rich, he should have made him that way instead.... (too many stereotypes in the world already)
