New Exiles Preview

[scouse mouse]

Right here:http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazi.../007033321.cfm

Not as horrific that I imagined it would be but still doesn't make me want to give Claremont a chance with the book. And why is he so obsessed with the Fantastic Four? They are lame!

Hmmm thats strange lets try again:
http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/wizard/007033321.cfm

It works now:)

[xmanson]

I'm guessing the FF dies in that accident, so the Stan Lee Mu goes horribly worng or something.

Nothing special there, average stuff.

[Sentinel K]

"Over half a century later"

I don't think so.

Try "thirteen".

[Novaya Havoc]

Lameness to the MAX! It's going to be a trainwreck.

[worstblogever]

Cat Pryde will be l33t! If her teammates would just leave her alone. THE JERKS!

This is going to be CC figuratively fellating his pet characters for 20 pages a month.

[Brent1974]

The art is pretty nice. I cant wait :)

Wrong. On this earth the FF's first flight was in the late 50's.

Like I said on the Marvel Universe board...

New Exiles looks great. Love the 4 pages dedicated to showing the fundamental differences of the reality they'll be visiting. I hope that continues for each new storyarc. Looking good so far, most anticapted book of the week for me. Grummett's art and Claremont's story seem to mesh perfectly together.

How does THAT work?

How does what work? On that world the FF's first flight occured in the late 50's. Simple as that. They all die, other than Sue who's rescued from the crash by Namor as massive meteor strikes decimate most of the life on the surface. 50+ years pass from that point. Now 2008, the Exiles are going to visit.

[Dagger]

This looks tres tres lame. I may pick it up, because I'll need me a Kitty fix, but it doesn't look very good.

[metalgorgomon]

Hi all!!

This is my first post here on CBR Forum, although i've been lurking here for sometimes.. :)

I'm very excited for New Exiles. While the other X-books looked 'uncertain' after MC, I think I'm looking forward for CC & Grummet in NEw Exiles.

Although I'm not too fond of the 'sort of FF/sue storm' story in the preview pages, I think we'll find the story to be different from the previous 2 'FF related' arcs.

The book looks great though. I'm loving CC and Tom Grummet pair..:)

[Beast]

Welcome to the boards, metalgorgomon.

Given the solicits, it's clear the story is different. Since the main thrust of the story deals with the Earth after the meteor imapact. Especially since all the FF are dead except for Sue, and 50+ years having passed. ;)

The Fantastic Four is the very foundation for the Marvel Universe. Without them, there's no Marvel Universe.

I'm guessing the FF dies in that accident, so the Stan Lee Mu goes horribly worng or something.



Exactly.

Have to say that I am loving the preview and the art.

Writer, artist and subject matter seem to be working in concert here and I too love that the time has been taken to establish why this reality is the way it is.

I am really looking forward to getting my hands on this.

P.S. Welcome to the boards metalgorgomon - hope you survive the experience!

[Pach!]

This will probably be crap but we'll see.

[Novaya Havoc]

It sets us up for a big, epic four-issue storyline that’s global

This is exactly the type of story Claremont needs to stop doing altogether. It hasn't worked at all in the past 10 years.

I will say I liked the Grummett Psylocke design though. But my DREAMLADY Sage was left out!

[Holland]

grrrrrl LOL :p
no im not picking this up

[Beast]

Thanks for the link, John Sage. Betsy has pants!! Woo!! :D

[jarrod]

Well, the Grummet sketches and comments look promising... but I'm still uber-resentfull that 616ers are being held hostage for it! Like Diva-sparkle pissed! :mad:


*closes eyes and chants* mojitos & cabana boys, mojitos & cabana boys, mojitos & cabana boys...

[jester1436]

Psylocke looks fantastic in that new costume., even if it's a fusion of Betsy and Britney Spears stage wear.

A shame the same can't be said about the rest of the preview. :(

[Christopher O]

I also like the Psylocke costume, except for the boots. Those have got to go.

lolz! I was thinking the same actually, Betts wouldn't be caught dead in those.

[Beast]

You're saying that about someone who wore a thong ninja costume? Please. :p

[ProfeZZor X]

I really like the art in this book... But for the simple fact that Claremont is writing this, I refuse to support his efforts - so I doubt I'll buy this book.

[jarrod]

Hey, it was the 90s... ninja thongs were clearly en vogue! Plus we all know it was just Kwannon's bad taste rubbing off after the mind/face meld. ;)

[CmX]

Wow Psylocke finally got a new costume! It only took how many years??? Geez!

It's nice to see her wear pants, Grummett hit it perfectly. I always imagined Betsy in something like this if she were to ever revert to her British form.

[altariel]

Preview looks promising and some interesting comments that Chris has made about future arcs sound good, so I will probably get at least the first years worth and decide from there.

[DeadXMan]

How does THAT work?

It's an alternate reality, the already vague quantum dynamics of comic book time passage is thrown out the window.

we seen worlds that are centuries ahead of us to one stuck in the 80's

[Blade X]

Cat Pryde will be l33t! If her teammates would just leave her alone. THE JERKS!

Cat Pryde is 16 NOT 13.

[jarrod]

Cat Pryde is 16 NOT 13.
I thought she was 15 actually (which is how old 616 Kitty was when Claremont left originally)?

CC said over on the comixfan boards that she was 16.

Thank you John Sage, especially for the link.
Sooo lovin' Psylocke's new design. This is the way I imagine her new look will be. Guess the Cover of Issue #3 really shows Betsy's new costume in New Exiles.
Can't wait....

[Quinnhop]

The cover is awfully pretty.

[cgar]

i was so not going to pick this up even though my fave character got shafted into it.. Poor Betsy

but that art and her new costume are kinda of swaying me the other way. i shouldnt be a pushover. But that Psylocke looks so good

[DDM]

The cover is awfully pretty.

Michael Golden does that. I'm going to get 2 Michael Golden covers & pass over the awful Greg Land tracings.

Maybe this will help.

I'm getting one of each. But yeah, the Greg Land cover is poo.

[Flameworthy]

That new Psylocke costume just looks like a lame rip off of Emma's old costume and her new one (minus the cape). I was hoping she'd be more covered up, and why would she be wearing heels? She's supposed to be a ninja not Sage.

meh, At least she has pants now.

*opens eyes*

Hey look, Tess is wearing the wig again! :D

[Babylon23]

Preview looks good. Tom Grummett is an excellent artist.

[RickyD410]

Oooh, the art is certainly pretty! But I'm not a fan of the bazillion text boxes. Too much reading for my lazy butt.

EDIT: Ooooh! I love the new Psylocke costume!

[Tazirai]

he just can't change that damn bathing suit... come on man.

[Beast]

he just can't change that damn bathing suit... come on man.
Best thing that's been done to her since House of M's costume change.

[CmX]

he just can't change that damn bathing suit... come on man.

Oh c'mon atleast she has pants on! It's definitely a step up! You have to admit.

[metalgorgomon]

he just can't change that damn bathing suit... come on man.

I thought you would love it, Taz. At least she got pants this time. Anybody notice that she wears some sort of armband on her right arm... It's quite nice actually..

Any comment on Sabertooth new look? He does seems sexy with the black T Shirt...

[RickyD410]

I did notice the armband. I like it alot. I like how simple her costume is. But its still sexy, and good for fighting. I hate it when costumes are just rediculous for no reason. Like Surge's costume that Mark Brooks designed. She was wearing a tube top! You cant fight and battle in a tube top. And she had super speed too.

But Psylocke's new costume here is simple, sexy, and good for fast movements. I love it.

okay okay ^^, the costume is definately a step "lateral" to the Bimbokini.
The boots need to go, can't see her fighting in that. The color is great. her hair even better. It might just be the concept sketch that's got me. But ANYTHING is better than that kini. Even if the top is a kini top haha.

[worstblogever]

Cat Pryde is 16 NOT 13.

Well, I stand corr-

Wait a minute, when did I say anything about her being any age?

Regardless, Cat Pryde is jailbait.

[Rattlehead]

That's certainly the best artwork the Exiles book has ever seen.

Hey, Betsy is showing off her navel. This gets a double thumbs-up from me.

Tummy buttons are sexy ;)
