[OutcryX]

if she is gonna come back and be all dark and goth...then she can stay dead. new mutants dont need their own Rayven/Raven

 

[TwilightPro101]

Enjoying the cover and previews thus far.

 

[chamber-music]

how old is Illyana these days?

 

[GambitXremy]

shes gotta be in her late teens i think

 

[Havok83]

LOVE the book! What an amazing first issue. I think this could bump Cable and X-force as my favorite X book.

I was not expecting to see Empath here but what a great surprised. I also liked that his history with Amara was rembembered and acknowledged. The cast is really lacking in the male department and Id love it if he joined

Not liking the Young X-men attacking Illyana. I get why they dont like her, but they were a bit disrespectful to Sam and Roberto too who didnt deserve it.

The costumes look great but they are a bit too old to be wearing a uniform look. I hope they get individualized soon

 

[GambitXremy]

it was more of a throw back to there Original costumes

 

[Havok83]

Well I get that, but it still doesnt change the fact that they are a bit old to go back to having one uniform costume among them all. When they first got their own costumes bc they were graduating. This new looks seems more like a step backwards.

 

[Manic]

Yeah, but with the exception of Cannonball a few times, their individual uniforms have sucked over the years.

 

[GambitXremy]

ya they have remember sam's Purple jump suit. HAHAHA man that suck'd

 

[Havok83]

Yeah, but with the exception of Cannonball a few times, their individual uniforms have sucked over the years.

which is a good reason why someone should create some good ones this time around and the artist on this title is pretty good so far so I trust him to do so when given the oppurtunity

ya they have remember sam's Purple jump suit. HAHAHA man that suck'd

Which one. If its the Graduation one, then IA, it sucked as did all of the grad suits, but his X-force one wasnt too bad

 

[Manic]

Personally, I'd be happy if the New Mutants did what the Academy X kids did. They wore the same uniforms, but they each customized the hell out of them. We all know Dani is going to deck out her uniform as soon as she has the opportunity. Even back in the 80s, she was the only student allowed to do that.

Haha, you mean like this?

 

[Manic]

I meant more like armbands and boot tassels. The ass load of guns qualifies, too.

 

[GambitXremy]

thats such a good pic.... the guns make her look bada$$

You're right. Here's how she looked in the early days. She'll probably be doing something like this to her current costume soon



You guys remember when she was wearing this? This was soon after she left New Mutants and was still a teen. When I first saw it, I thought wow they did a 180 with Dani. She managed to put Psylocke to shame with this

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Really liked the first issue. Dani's absence was awesome

 

[GambitXremy]

HAHAHA she does put betsy to shame

 

[Havok83]

I have a feeling Dani was in the first issue, well not really but sort of. I think those magic arrows that were embedded in Illyana were actually psychic arrows that Dani shot her with in the future

 

[GambitXremy]

but doesn't magik say when she returns from the future that there going to die or something... but it does look like dani arrows

 

[Hound89]

Not liking the Young X-men attacking Illyana. I get why they dont like her, but they were a bit disrespectful to Sam and Roberto too who didnt deserve it.

it was no different then the New mutants being Ass holes to Emma, Roberto and Sam's Lack of Empathy didn't help

I felt the book was overall boring, these Characters have been Revamped and Repackaged a thousand times they weren't interesting 20 years ago they aren't interesting now

Overall it feels like a step backwards

 

[Ikaris-Eternal]

terrific first issue. they do a good job with presenting the new mutants as older and more mature but still a tight-knit clique within the X-Men community.

Great reveal of first villain; always lots of possibilities with him. My favorite arc (and most everyone's favorite) of the first series centered on him, and that's not a bad place to start.

The leather versions of the old x-factor uniforms were a good touch. I never liked any of their individual uniforms...except Magik, who arose strange emotions and urges for a 10-12 year old boy in the middle 80's. A couple of years ago I found and reread my old original Magik miniseries; towards the end I felt like a dirty old man. But I digress.

The coordinating yellow/blue-black colors were distinctive for the new mutants in the 80's and that's a motif that can really work, as long as they're allowed to personalize.

However, Bobby doesn't need anything special really; his visual stroke is defined by his Sunspot persona, so he can always have the "basic" uniform.

If Magik is really back, you know she will have her own look as well as Dani.

Let's be frank, none of these characters, except maybe Magik and the remote posssibility of Cannonball, are ever going to be more than B-Listers within the X-Men. They're most interesting as a group who grew up together, and I don't mind a little "nostalgia" as long as it feels fresh, which this issue certainly did.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I think Cannonball is the most likely out of the group to be A-list.

 

[roach]

I think Cannonball is the most likely out of the group to be A-list.

Only because he was the only New Mutant to actually graduate and become and X-men. So what makes this different from the other Xbooks other than its the original new mutants?

 

[Manic]

Dani was an X-man for about a week.


Poor Karma, though. She wasn't even put in X-Force or X-Factor or given an Academy X squad.

 

[Kevin]

I liked the first issue.
