That solicit is confusing. Colossus gets help from Hulk to fight Logan?

No. Wolvie sicks Hulk on Pete.

Probably something to do with Kitty.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ah ha, then why's Wolverine stabbing Hulk on the cover? lol

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Ah ha, then why's Wolverine stabbing Hulk on the cover? lol

Two scenarios:

1 - He sobered up.

2 - 'Ro paged/text-messaged him and told him: "Damnit, not everyone who has wronged a Claremazon is pure evil and deserves to die a horrible. You-know-who is just being melodramatic. Now bring Pete back in one piece. Sheesh."

[Colossal Spoons]

That guy draws a mean Colossus. A bit too Strong-Guy but it's better than Cassaday's puny version

 

[El Bastardo]

Haha, Claremont. Just hang the boots up already.

What the heck kind of dialogue is "This is NOT good! All I've done is made him ANGRY!" Why not just start it out with "Onoes!"

 

[Colossal Spoons]

The dialogue reeks of the 80s

 

[Czar Colossus]

I hope this is worth the wait. I've been looking forward to it since I first found out about it. Colossus should be able to put up a good fight and he also should not look quite so small in comparison. He is 7'5" after all!

Any Comments?
(We need a Colossus smiley)

 

[El Bastardo]

I passed on picking it up.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Didn't like it

- Pete was especially ineffective against Hulk

-CC forgot that Petey doesn't need to breathe while armored up, so that quicksand shouldn't have been a problem.

 

[Havok83]

didnt we already get X-men vs Hulk last year via X-men: World War Hulk?

 

[Czar Colossus]

Well at least Peter did stand up to the Hulk respectfully after all it was a long time ago when he was still a teen-ager. The artist made the Hulk too big in comparison to Colossus; at the time that story took place the Hulk was reputed to be 7' while Colossus is 7' 5"! All in all this story could have been a back up somewhere not a lead in a one-shot. I expected more especially from Claremont the guy who helped make the X-men a household name.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, Hulk was like 2.5x the size of Colossus lol

 

[Czar Colossus]

I picked up two new Colossus figures at Toys R Us yesterday.....
pretty cool.

 

[PWN3R]

Niiiiice. Definitely need to pick that up. His previous ML figure is awesome but I hated the skinny thigh joints. This version looks way more cartoony too, I kinda like that.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Awesome

 

[Czar Colossus]

Anybody seen one of these?

 

[ChaoticPsylocke]

omg! no!

oh and i havent seen new marvel legends in like over a year! the new colossus looks like he has the same head as the old one...

Lmfao. Gambit looks like Chris Claremont got his wires crossed and thought he was using Pete Wisdom.
