Brand <3s Beast

Hello everybody. This is my first post on this incarnation of S_D, and I wanted to bring some Beast/Brand to you all. Checked Agent Brand's tag and did not find this, so I hope it's not an untagged repeat.

How it began... (and perhaps how it ends since SWORD was cancelled :( )

3/4 page from Giant Size Astonishing X-Men #1

char: agent abigail brand

group: x-men

I'm so glad SWORD was cancelled. I couldn't get past the ugly art, especially the way Beast was drawn.

They could have switched out the artist and kept the awesome story.

I think that would have helped a lot.

agreed. I hope it's brought back as a mini, like Agents of Atlas. :(

Amen. I hope Gyrich gets some screwing over/special treatment from Osborn before it's over though. Injected with an alien bacteria or something.

Nah.....Norman should alter his genetics so that he has no powers but still reads as a mutant to things like the Sentinels. And then put him in a place surrounded by Sentinels. With a slingshot without a stone. Given how screwy Comic Book science is that would be Karmic Justice of an epic sort.

I'm not glad S.W.O.R.D. was cancelled because it was awesome. Rather bad sport to celebrate the cancellation of something some of us were enjoying immensely.

Bad sport to enjoy something some of us were loathing entirely!

I'm not glad it's cancelled because I was enjoying Lockheed being a drunken badass. Fraction better pull off some kind of epic reunion between him and Kitty in Uncanny, or I will be pissed.

That's an incredibly disingenuous thing to say. Hank might've looked weird himself, but the rest of the art's fantastic!
That and it's a really great, fun book. I'll miss it when it's gone.

What don't you like about the way he's drawn? (Not being snarky. Just genuinely curious.)

Not a huge Whedon-head or anything, but this snippet looks pretty okay to me.

The commenter isn't referring to the pages in the post here, but the series S.W.O.R.D., a sample of which you can see here. That's the preview to tomorrow's issue. The fifth page features Steve Saunders' much maligned but not all that bad Beast.

Ah, Thanks. :)

He just doesn't look much like Beast. If he weren't blue then I would have never known.

Hmm. I guess it's more feline than I remember, but it doesn't seem any more absurd or weird than some other modern character redesigns that I've seen.
