I haven't heard too much discussion about this new ongoing, so I wanted to know: are fans of Hank McCoy excited for a series staring Beast? If not, why?

Me personaly, I'll pick up the first issue to get the feel of the comic. Agent Brand is interesting character, and even though I'm not a Beast fan I'd like to see him doing thing our than being the science expert or moral compass on Uncanny.

edit: the poll? aw dang it!

[Fatguy]

Oh, that cover. It looks so Igor Kordey.

[Puunk]

I'm hyped for SWORD because Karolina appears in it.

:)

Beast is cool too.

[psycwave]

Beast appears to be losing weight.

[Zero Hunter]

Beast looks like muppet on that cover.

[Talisman]

Beast appears to be losing weight.

He's trying to become emo, and get in with the cool kids.

[Personamanx]

I'll be picking it up.

[frog]

I think it's a great concept with characters that should make for some very entertaining personality clashes.

However, I don't know that this book will interest enough readers to have long lasting potential.

[coveredinbees]

Beast appears to be losing weight.
It's all that fur he shed recently.

It's going to the top of my pull list.

[Kid Icarus]

I'm hyped for SWORD because Karolina appears in it.

Beast is cool too.

Karolina isn't in it, I don't think. The solicitation was just listing E.T.s

[Puunk]

One can hope.

[Personamanx]

Karolina Appearing or not Im still gonna check this out.

[Filthy Mutie]

I wonder if Brand turns into her true form when she humps the big blue muppet.

[Siena Blaze]

Polaris looks silly in that new getup.

[Azure]

Hepzibah and Gosamyr.

[Zero Hunter]

Why does Brand have green hair anyway? Was a reason ever given or did they jsut think it looked cool to make her look like Polaris.

[Personamanx]

She inherited from her Space-Faring Father.

[coveredinbees]

Hepzibah and Gosamyr.
Are they appearing?

[Azure]

Are they appearing?

Isn't that the main hook of the series? Everyone loves Hepzibah and Gosamyr.

[Talisman]

Hullo, Siena. You were my favorite Upstart...After Shinobi and Andrea and Andreas.

[Prodigy55]

I love Gosamyr but not Hepzibah.

[Azure]

I love Gosamyr but not Hepzibah.

Wind Dancer is called Renascence now.

[Prodigy55]

Wind Dancer is called Renascence now.

Darkstar is dead and the new one is a ginger.

[Azure]

Darkstar is dead and the new one is a ginger.

Stature. That is all.

[Prodigy55]

Shut up right now! (http://i34.tinypic.com/2hquv46.jpg)

[Home made ectoplasm]

Hmm that cover is below par for JC. Brand's body proportions look strange.

Agreed,it's definitely not his best work.....It just looks a little off,as you say.

[Fatguy]

It looks a LOT off. He must have had swine flu or something when he drew this.

[Talisman]

Which is totally appropriate because I hope the entire cast gets the swine-flu.

[Fatguy]

Inappropriate and offensive.

[Talisman]

Inappropriate and offensive.
They should have washed their hands more often.

[The Black Guardian]

I'm a Beast fan, but I'm not really interested in SWORD or Brand.

[sneggz]

Picking it up more for Brand.
