He's BACK baby!!

Preview for two X-titles at Newsarama here, including New Mutant #9 (Which we've seen unlettered pages for before). (The other preview is Nation X, and it's PAD penned, so is a no-no here)

Just in case though - Spoilers under the cut

Doug and Warlock are being checked out post Necrosha and it would appear that Doug has managed to recover completely from being A) dead and B) a Necroshan zombie thing.

Doug is fine, but Warlock is operating at low power and will take a long time to regenerate since he appears to have switched to a vegan diet... or the T-O equivalent thereof.

Danger is fascinated by Warlock, but as Doug quickly notices....



Doug appears to have aged whilst he was dead since he was only about 16 then and seems older here. He's a cute li'l dickens just the same though.

Well what about the rest of the x-men ? what are they supposed to be mid-twenties by now ?? Oh' Marvel time, why do some characters age but never Franklin..

[icon_uk]

The original X-Men should be in their 30's IMHO, the New Mutants in their early to mid 20's (unless they were dead for much of that time), since they had a wide age range (Sam was 18 or 19 whilst Bobby was only 14)

And Franklin just had a birthday, which I'm sure will have just as much of an impact on his age as OYL did on all the DCU kid heroes, eg, none whatsoever.

Wow, I bet they got Magik off a torrent tracker or something. Those darn kids and their piracy!

[autumn_lily]

What's this about sexual tension? Screw what Nemesis says, please go on Douglas!

[autumn_lily]

Limewire!

[savitar]

Warlock looks so pissed when he says pirated copy.

For some reason that amuses me.

[iskander]

I thought "marveltime" said the amount of time from the fantastic four's origin to "now" was always 10 years that just kept pushing ahead (?) or has this been chucked ? How old is Peter Parker then ???

[mullon]

All the robots are doing the HK-47 voice now.

[cmdr_zoom]

Aww, Warlock is still woobie.

[kainnived.livejournal.com]

Well he is looking "At the camera" as he says it.

I love how much the worm has turned for Doug.

It used to be that everyone was all LANGUAGE POWERS PFFT WHAT GOOD ARE THOSE, but now, in the information age, Doug's language powers basically give him God Mode abilities over everyone else, and that smug smirk on his face says that he knows it.

[foxhack]

KAZAA!

[foxhack]

Warlock promotes the DMCA!

[foxhack]

No, I think the worms actually left Doug.

Will they every upgrade Warlock's appearance? I'm not saying that he looks bad, but he is influence by 80s artwork right? What's keeping the creators from giving him a today's "edgy" look

[simiansyndicate]

Who knew the forces of darkness would be so tech-savvy?

And you know they didn't seed their Magik file, those jerks.

[hybrid2]

did the writer compately ignore Nova?

not surprising when the writer could'nt keep up with what was hapening between Nova and the Conquest Mini serie.
:-/

I'm a bit disappointed that Cypher didn't get to make a rather more pointed comment to Emma, considering their history, but maybe later in the issue...

[foxhack]

WAIT A SEC.

That scientist in the first pages? That's MARTY FELDMAN!



(One of the pictures actually looks like it was traced from a photo of him, and I know it's not - the resemblance is uncanny!)

[perletwo]

It may be a function of his operating on extremely low power, as they say on these pages - when he's stronger he "polishes" his appearance? I can't find it now, but I'm thinking particularly of that endless chase between Warlock and the Impossible Man that was posted here awhile ago.

[nezchan]

So...you're recommending they change a good design to crap, then?

[auggie18]

I always assumed most of the original X-men were in their mid-thirties. I remember hearing from some official source that they were supposed to be in their early to mid-twenties, though, which makes no sense to me. In the New X-men, Kid Omega held up a newspaper clipping that came out early in first run of X-men and said it came out the day he was born. I figured he was about 15 and the X-men were around 16-17 when the clipping came out. Ergo, the early X-men must be around 32. Apparently that was nixed, though.

[silverzeo]

No, I just saying that so far, to my knowledge, Warlock's appearance seems to be the only constant in comics for years.

[terrykun]

Oh hell no, they BETTER not have Maddy eying someone else up behind his wife's back. >:(

[long_silence]

We already pretty much knew that the current Magik was some sort of replica of Illyana and not the real one.

Belasco made a soulless demon with her appearance and her memories, and then said demon stole the soul sword.

Isn't Jeffries married to Diamond Lil?
