that would be kinda hot tho. lol. Carnaval is sexxy

 

[Havok83]

I just noticed that this is supposed to be a wrap around cover. I was wondering why Magma was on the cover and not Wolfsbane bc I thought they were going for an original team shot here. Im interested in seeing the other members on there

 

[Manic]

It turns out "Magma" is really a badly colored Wolfsbane.




God, that would've made it one of the worst colored comics in history if that was true.

 

[OutcryX]

you know..it does look like Magma should've been Wolfsbane...didnt know magma had claws

It turns out "Magma" is really a badly colored Wolfsbane.

I thought it looked like Wolfsbane but the coloring told me it was Magma. Yikes! So far Karma and Wolsfbane got screwed up here. I wonder how Magma turned out

 

[Manic]

I was joking. I think that really is Magma. If that's Wolfsbane, then they apparently compensated for their mistake by added extra flames.

The claws are weird, though.


You know, that's altogether just a really badly put together cover.

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.

do you think its too late for them to fix the hair color error? thats really gonna bug the crap outta me! someone caught it right?

and when does this come out? and its free, so how do you get it?

 

[Manic]

It's probably one of those things your comic book shop is supposed to pass out. I'm always getting some free "saga" book by Marvel shoved into my little shopping bag.

"Memories of the Monster"

By now you know that Lucas Bishop—former cop, renegade X-Man—refuses to rest until he's killed the so-called "mutant messiah." But do you know why? To answer that question you have to look into Bishop's past…which actually means jumping 50 years into the future, when his parents barely escaped a nuclear holocaust, only to land in the most brutal "mutant relocation" camp in the world. There, a young Bishop first heard the horror stories about the green-eyed monster that ushered in the the downfall of mutantkind, and swore vengeance -- embarking on a life-long, time-hopping mission that begins here, in this special three-part mini-series. You haven't heard the "Messiah Complex" story until you've heard Bishop's side of the story…

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Thanks as usual Spec

 

[Manic]

Larry Stroman?!

Pass.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I know!

Although, his art doesn't hurt nearly as bad there as it did on X-Factor.

 

[Specter313]

Outcry's just gonna love seeing Bishop drawn in such a way.

 

[Majik1387]

Ok I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who feels they're drawn awkwardly.

 

[UraniaChang]

Well, there's no wierd-sized butt so far.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^Instead, we get a weird-sized belly. Very bottom right panel. Is that a pregnant woman or a wallaby?

 

[Manic]

I know!

Although, his art doesn't hurt nearly as bad there as it did on X-Factor.

It's the colorist. Even Rob Liefeld's art looks decent when he gets someone to paint the hell out of it.

 

[Specter313]

Well, there's no wierd-sized butt so far.

How about the fact that baby Bishop only has three toes?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Well give that inker a raise

 

[El Bastardo]

Oh my dear god, no wonder present-day Bishop is messed up.

Seriously.

LOOK at baby-Bishop. LOOK AT HIM. IT. Oh god, what is that blob creature? Is that even a baby? Is its face melting?

Bishop wants child-messiah dead because THAT is what she did. She put Larry Stroman on art. HER.

 

[UraniaChang]

How about the fact that baby Bishop only has three toes?

He could be born that way?

 

[Majik1387]

How can you guys miss the first frame and everyone's flattened noses? Except for the few decent profile shots.
Also, why is a pregnant woman wearing high heeled boots?

 

[squeekness]

Larry Stroman?!

Pass.

Good thing I skipped it.

I know!

Although, his art doesn't hurt nearly as bad there as it did on X-Factor.

Really? Cause it shure looked horrid to me...

 

[OutcryX]

oh. my. god. Bishop's redemption story....surely an awesome read....and it is weighed down by someone vomiting on the page and making shapes out of it. wtf is baby bishop when he comes out? a ****ing tadpole??? he looks like ****ing leech or artie or some deformed baby rat. and why do Bishops parents look like the same person? as if they are either two men or two women, depending on the panel.....this is un-fu**ing-acceptable. i mean. i will check this out because the story that needs to be told is being told but the pictures...the pictures

oh yeah...TWO new members of the family? Shard..we all know about....and the other?

 

[Manic]

Ah, the miracle of child birth.


Anyone else feel like having some gummi bears?
