There's one good thing I can say about those preview pages: It's good to see the X-Men hanging out in the city again. I'm 90% sure that's the Macy's at Union Square.

 

[Charlie Boy]

Heh..I didn't catch that.

 

[squeekness]

Kewl. Gambit has fared well as a vamp in the past, here in Mutant X. Still suave, even when he's mostly dead, lol.

Portraying Ju-Ju on the cover with her powers is just unfair. Not unless the vampire's curse counteracts Wanda's spell.

 

[Havok83]

That hand is unusally large. It looks odd to say the least

 

[javi1024]

i think alot about that cover looks odd. ill be sticking to the standard.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

The only characters I like on that cover are Storm and Jubilee. I hope they hang around after the vampire story as part of the core team of the book.

 

[Havok83]

i think alot about that cover looks odd. ill be sticking to the standard.

yeah I love Coipel but this isnt his best work

 

[Manic]

Something about Wolverine's face just looks off, Emma looks like she's having an orgasm beneath her frock, and Duffy Pixie looks like she aged 10 years overnight.

 

[squeekness]

variant for #1

No Gambit.

 

[Manic]

Oh, poor Gambit fans with their living favorite character.

 

[squeekness]

I've had causalties. I've lost Sabes and Wildchild. I'm running out of proper villians to love.

 

[UraniaChang]

God, I hate Twilight, Edward and the stupid girl he and the other guy are fighting for.

 

[Manic]

We're... not talking about Twilight. In fact, I think we should all do our best to not talk about Twilight during this vampire crossover.

 

[UraniaChang]

But it's EVERYWHERE!

I don't like anything related to the blood-sucking creatures, especially now!

 

[Manic]

You know what else is everywhere? Those pink breast cancer ribbons, but we never talk about those here.

 

[UraniaChang]

At least the ribbons aren't printed on the wall right in front of my house!

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Forget about Twilight and watch True Blood. Vampires the way they're supposed to be. Badass.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

At least the ribbons aren't printed on the wall right in front of my house!

If it was a picture of Ashley Greene, I wouldn't mind. But, no. They always gotta show the ugly one.

 

[javi1024]

Oh, poor Gambit fans with their living favorite character.

who did you lose?

 

[Havok83]

who did you lose?

for me Jean Grey. 6 years and counting
