Comics Official NEW MUTANTS Discussion Thread

ok dumb question time...
Wouldnt it be better to call this book New Xmen and New Xmen New Mutants?????
Just seems to me that I played on a minor league team and got promoted up to the Yankees I wouldnt go back to the minor league team just to be with my old friends

New X-men was originally called New Mutants before they switched the name. This title is called New Mutants bc of the nostalgia factor. They are all X-men though as they are currently being used over in Uncanny and in several different mini series and one shots fighting along side the main team. New Mutants is a sub-team within the main team similar to X-force and formerly Young X-men. I dont have a problem with the name. Its used to distinguish this specific group of characters when they are on missions together. They are still in the major league as members of the X-men

Warlock! Good to see him back but he was always more interesting with Doug around

 

[Manic]

Given how many times we've seen Doug in the promo pictures, I'd say it's only a matter of time.

And not to nitpick, but can we get a steady logo? I like being able to identify comics by recognizing the title's graphics from a distance, just in case my glasses are off.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

why are there sooo many variants for this series?

why are there sooo many variants for this series?

Most likely to get more people into it, and make more money

 

[Havok83]

yeah I thought to increase sales for the series and give it an extra boost early on

Personally, I like that these guys and gals are finally getting some more attention given to them after all this time.

As far as the New X-Men/students, they'll be appearing in Legacy in the future after it's focus fully shifts over from Xavier and after the Dark Reign tie-in.

50's Decade Varient for #3 by Yanick Paquette:

 

[Manic]

What is it with that man and his habit of drawing neanderthal brows? And they're almost always hairless brows, too.

 

[Havok83]

good lord keep Paquette away from this book. I dont even want him doing any covers

 

[Manic]

I blame him for Young X-Men's cancellation. People would've read beyond the first couple of issues if he wasn't drawing the Neander-mutants.

I like to blame Ink for it's cancellation.

New Mutants #3
by Zeb Wells and Diogenes Neves.

The solicitation for the issue reads:
“RETURN OF LEGION” Legion is back and has never been so dangerous. Each personality in his head has its own super power and it seems like there’s a new one every day. They’re all jockeying for position and they all want the New Mutants dead. Dani Moonstar is at the center of all of this, but what can a depowered New Mutant do against a foe who has a million ways to kill her? Part 3 (of 4). Rated T …$2.99

 

[Colossal Spoons]

That Sam/Bobby dropkick was amazing

 

[Mad Ones]

That panel is cool. I love seeing teamwork like that.

I think Sam is one of the best Bro's in the X-world. He just seems like he has a lot of really good friends, and is totally likable.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I agree, Sam's awesome

 

[Manic]

Except when he keeps you locked in a city jail.

 

[Artistsean]

Did New Mutants #3 already come out?

 

[Manic]

Next week, I think.

[Colossal Spoons]

[ChaoticPsylocke]
