we are on the same thought pattern bastardo

 

[squeekness]

Or is it a manipulatively brilliant master plan to subconsciously make people want to purchase the earlier and final issues of X-Men/Spider-man?

Dun dun dun!

LOL, I didn't even bother reading it though I admit the artwork was quite good. I just can't read a #3 of anything without reading the rest first. I won't bother.

Wolverine is the LAST X-man that needed an Origin spotlight. Figures its a movie cash in

 

[sniktsnakt]

Amen.

Do you think it's going to be a rehash, or might they actually try to bring in something "new"?

 

[Havok83]

Amen.

Do you think it's going to be a rehash, or might they actually try to bring in something "new"?

probably something new that will be completly forgotten and have no bearing on the character.

 

[sniktsnakt]

No doubt. A "HUGE, SHOCKING REVEAL" that is forgotten within the month.

I've seen those a few times before.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Wolverine is the LAST X-man that needed an Origin spotlight. Figures its a movie cash in

Yeah, I was looking forward to any other mutant's :


And I'm getting a strange feeling that Bishop is going to die soon.

 

[Manic]

Did Iceman even get an Origins one-shot? Beast, Jean, and Colossus got them. Angel just had an entire miniseries.

No love for Iceman...

 

[Havok83]

yeah I want one for Iceman as well. I guess they think his appearances in Manifest Destiny is enough

 

[UraniaChang]

I guess the Wolverine's Origins will involve something like Wolverine gets another enemy who's bend on killing him, his experiments, and maybe another little girl.

New is the last word I'll ever use to describe anything related the character.

 

[Specter313]

Well, they talk about it as if it's its own series, so I'm sure there will be several more in the future, so I wouldn't count any out for people like Iceman yet.

NEW MUTANTS SAGA
Written by JOHN RHETT THOMAS & SHEILA JOHNSON
Wraparound Cover by DIOGENES NEVES
Psyche! Sunspot! Cannonball! Wolfsbane! Karma! They're the New Mutants you know and love. And along with Magik, Magma, Cypher and Warlock, they were the backbone of the era that so many current X-readers came to treasure. NEW MUTANTS SAGA will catch you up on this seminal period of X-history - from their very first team-up to the arrival of new members, the coming of "Inferno" and the arrival of Cable! It's a Marvel history lesson in a fun and frenetic fashion!
32 PGS./Rated T+ ...FREE!


Hmmm, I think this might be more evidence of a New Mutants book starting back up, since I don't think they're doing this just for X-Infernus.

 

[Majik1387]

Awesome, I miss my New Mutants.

 

[OutcryX]

wait...who da hell is Psyche?

 

[Specter313]

One of Moonstar's various codenames.

 

[OutcryX]

ahhh, ok. so is Moonstar, a Native American, supposed to be that white looking chick on the cover with the blue eyes?

 

[Manic]

No, Moonstar is the chick with the feathers in her hair way in the back.

I think the white looking chick with blue eyes was supposed to be everyone's favorite Vietnamese mutant Karma in the penciling phase, but became Wolfsbane in the coloring phase.

 

[Canemacar]

I think thats Karma. Moonstar's the jumping girl with the headband and imitation-deerhide boots

 

[OutcryX]

wow...ok...just..well..wow. Karma has never made much of an impression, no?

 

[Havok83]

One of Moonstar's various codenames.

in fact her original codename. I havent heard that in a long time. Personally I preferr Moonstar for her

Oh man the colorist goofed on the cover. I think the redhead with the blue eyes is supposed to be Karma bc it has her power signature and the yellow headband she used to wear. Someone should have told him that she's supposed to be asian

I think the white looking chick with blue eyes was supposed to be everyone's favorite Vietnamese mutant Karma in the penciling phase, but became Wolfsbane in the coloring phase.

I dont even know how they could screw it up. Rahne never had long hair back in the New Mutant days. She looked like a boy until she joined Excalibur in the mid 90s. Plus she has green eyes, not blue. Poor Karma

 

[Manic]

You gotta love how Moonstar and Proudstar are the only two mutants who insist on decking out their costumes with ethnic symbols.

"We need to remind everyone that Danielle Moonstar is Cheyenne. Quick, let's put a headband on her head, feathers in her hair, give her tied-up pigtails, and boots with tassels! Oh, and she can talk to animals. And she shoots psychic arrows. And in the first issue of New Mutants, she's going to yell at Professor X about how damn Cheyenne she is."

There's cultural diversity, and then there's trying too hard.

It annoys me that the artists always do this with her. She doesnt always have to have feathers or other native american symbols for us to know who she is

 

[Manic]

Really, it'd be like Sunspot always showing up dressed for Carnaval.
