Magma v. Illyana

It's not New Mutants without cat fights.

I am glad Empath is not being forgotten.

Finally

Confirmation Illyana is back permanently and with her abilites seemingly intact if that art work is anything to go by.

THANK F*DGE

It’s great that I can look at Empath’s capture in recent "Uncanny X-Men" issues and think, “Oh, what would Magma think about that? She’s had a complex relationship with Empath, what’s her take?”

*swoons*

i expect a full examination into this development in their relationship.

oh, god. can you imagine? how awkward....especially when you consider that magma was forced to be selene's slave while manny willingly gave himself to maddie.

I hope we get to see Warlock make an appearance sooner or later.

At the risk of invoking the wrath of Etta James...


AT LAST!

I grew up reading these characters starting with issue 16 of the original series. Warlock, Cloak and Dagger, Legion with art by Bill S. These were classic and often overlooked, magical stories. It all ended, for me as a fan, with the fantastic Asgard stories drawn by Art Adams.No other "nextgen" mutant team has ever managed to recreate the awesome-ness of the original New Mutants.

legion too! OMG he's going in my army of worms. i think....i think i actually love him more than empath.

Magik looked better with the hooves

I agree. And I think it's awesome that they are keeping the purity of the original team. None of this "mentorship"/substitute teacher crap we've been getting.

Karma is at the center of the first arc of the series, and she’s really the emotional heart of it. By the end of it we’ll have a better idea of who she is and why her character is so strong. I’m actually really into her right now, and excited about where we can take her.

I have been waiting for this for a long time.

That shocks me!

I really think that is my favorite part of the interview.

Double Post, sorry

[Zero Hunter]

So basically Wells never read one issue of X-force where the team you know already graduated into adults and their own team? The way he sounds in the intereview that the way it comes off. Sam was already one of the best leaders of any X-team, and led X-Force pretty damn well for a long time on their own and doing their own thing away from the rest of the X-men.

This series has a very high suck factor hanging over it if he acts like none of the X-Force stuff ever happened. Their was really great character devoplemnt in that series after Liefeld left the book with guys like Nicieza, Loeb, and John Franics Moore taking the helm.

Looks like Cannonball will be the leader of the team.
