This needs to hurry up and come out. That art looks amazing. Looks like Storm might be hanging around. Also looks like Armor is still here, which is good.

[Kaos]

The art does look BOOM.
Dunno bout Ellis though...I'm still like 50/50 bout im.

[Trey]

Too much shading Bianchi!!! Don't do it like your "Wolverine" arc, please?

[HellFrost]

Yay. I can't wait for Ellis to take over:D

I love Scott and Kurt's costume designs.

I believe Kitty Phases the "bullet" through earth (which is the only concievable way to save the planet) and is still trapped inside after passing through it and is lost "forever."

[Kid Icarus]

OH man
I thought that was Polaris and I didn't like the idea.
I still wonder why he keeps producing group shots
if they keep telling us that they are not
going to tell us the roster yet.
tease tease

I feel like I would love Cyclop's costume if he still had a belt
to at least break it apart a little bit.
But looks like the belt is out

[Hi-Fi]

Not a big fan of the redesigns. Though they do look better on that cover/poster thing. Anyway, I'm really excited about Ellis writing Astonishing.

[Optic Rage!]

Im farily sure that the final team is the one shown in the poster.

Cyclops, Emma, Storm, Beast, Wolverine, Armor.

The redesigns are ok...they look better in the group shot.

[Imraith Nimphais]

Okies...I'm seriously loving those sketches and my interest is Definitely piqued...but I ABSOLUTELY refuse to get myself all hyped up until that first issue comes out...having said that, the next 4 months will seem like 4 decades...sigh.

[Omega Alpha]

I like the redesigns for the most part. I hope Kurt makes this team.

[Toboe]

I like most of the redesigns so far, Bianchi's art is amazing.

Why must he keep teasing us with group shots when they refuse to confirm the line-up?

[frog]

I think Bianchi needs to recount Kurt's fingers . . .


However, I'm all for Beast losing the dreadful diaper pants.

[Chino]

Cool. So can we get a new issue every month?...Please :o oh, and trade Beast for Nightcrawler :P

[frog]

I somewhat suspect Ellis is more sympathetic to the scientific Beast than he is to the priest.
