I like the art in X-men.

And Pheonix?

 

[Mass Nerder]

We already know why it exists. Its X-Men versus non traditional, marvel universe villains. Quite frankly its a welcome title. We know the cast is large for this arc and will generally get a core cast.

I couldn't agree more! I also want to say I really hope BMB gets a core cast for the Avengers book. That cast is way to large.

Most definatley, this title has more of a point then most of the other x-titles. It's the x-men branching out to the whole Marvel Universe. After this vamp arc the core cast will be reduced to a core cast

 

[The Englishman]

Hopefully including Iceman....

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at X-Men #4, the next issue in the hottest new series of the year from the acclaimed creative team of Victor Gischler and Paco Medina! In San Francisco, a legion of undead warriors lies in wait for the order of their leader, Xarus, to attack Utopia. It is under the threat of impending annihilation that the X-Men turn to their unlikeliest ally, the recently resurrected Dracula. But one of their number, the powerful mutant Wolverine, has been claimed by a vampire bite and may prove to be Xarus’ ace in the hole. Can the X-Men survive the Curse Of The Mutants? Find out in X-Men #4!

I see Gambit still gets his one panel appearance, just to keep us fans stringing along...

Yeah, what's he doing? He looks like he is being entertained by the sight of X-23 about to decapitate a vamp.

Is there some law at Marvel that Cyclops and Emma must dominate at least 2-3 panels of every preview????? A whoa, what a Rogue cleavage shot!

Somehow, the X-Men have weathered the vampire raid on Utopia, but mutants can't claim total victory yet. Jubilee still needs the X-Men's help, and Xarus still commands an overwhelming force of bloodsuckers. Will Dracula's intervention be the final nail in Xarus's coffin…or will he make even more trouble for the X-Men than his upstart son ever could?

[Havok83]

Ali's new look is like some odd mesh of her current and old costume. I kinda like it like this

 

[Manic]

It's good to see Husk in action again.

 

[Havok83]

It's good to see Husk in action again.

guess I should have read the dialogue bc I thought that was Dazzler on first glance

 

[Manic]

I thought it was Dazzler, too. Then I saw that Dazzler had another story drawn by a different artist. So I ran through the other blondes of the X-Men.

It's a young blond woman who just called Jubilee her friend, and there's something up with her that prevents a vampire from sucking her blood. It had to be Husk with some non-fleshy transformation under her skin.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Yeah. Dazzler looks cool there.

And yay for them not forgetting that Husk is Jubilee's best friend!

 

[UraniaChang]

I don't know why that can't let an artist do a whole book, it'd be great to have Doug do the art alone, besides, his art style suits the vampire story very well.

 

[Manic]

I think this is how Marvel checks to see how some of their newer artists handle deadlines, as well as extra paychecks for some of their more experienced artists.

 

[Havok83]

I don't know why that can't let an artist do a whole book, it'd be great to have Doug do the art alone, besides, his art style suits the vampire story very well.

I think he and Clay Mann would make an awesome combo on Legacy as they have similar styles

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

i LOOOOOOOVEEEE Ali's costume like that. =) a good mix of her most current, and the Excalibur costumes. =)

 

[EvilClareToo]

Ahahahahahaha! Great True Blood/Anna Paquin reference there! Nice to see Ali being a bit kick-@ss too! Can't quite figure out who the first blonde is, but Husk sounds about right.

 

[Havok83]

here's art and info on the next arc

Alonso offered up hints as to the future of "X-Men" with the new "Serve & Protect" arc, which sees the team return to New York. "They travel back East to deal with a problem that only Spider-Man can help them solve," he said, noting that just as Blade featured heavily in the first arc, the second will feature Spidey as a way to show how the X-Men are becoming more connected to the Marvel U in the ramp up to a big story coming in a year or so. Chris Bachalo will join series writer Victor Gischler on the arc.

 

[javi1024]

Chris Bachalo. i think ill have to pass.

 

[Havok83]

Im glad he's back on an X-men ongoing. I love how we get a first glimpse of the roster for the next arc. Notice how the rotating cast consists of Cyclops, Emma, Wolverine, Storm and random MU character. I was really hoping the former 3 would not appear

 

[Manic]

Chris Bachalo.

And you were doing do well...

 

[Havok83]

here's the variant
