Preview of the Journey into Mystery and New Mutants crossover

[icon_uk]

aka - EXILED!

From Newsarama's preview

• It’s NEW MUTANTS. It’s JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY. It’s NEW MUTANTS *and* JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY. It’s the New Journey Into Mutant Mystery! (With a left over “s”.)

• A forgotten hero returns, mightier than Thor himself, but will the truth behind his exile consume them all?


And for starters a MUCH healthier looking Cypher in the intro page! :) THIS is closer to what a grown up Doug should look like IMHO



And the mystery starts with the odd guy living across the road first seen in New Mutants 34





HELL-PUP!!!!

.... how does he know so much about the Asgardians? how does he know that is an incarnation of Hela... and why does he have to be all sexy and slightly douchey-stalker-ish?

[alexanderlucard]

Heimdall I'm guessing. The all-seeing, all-watching Norse God.

[shadowpsykie]

isn't Heimdall still alive? i mean wasn't aware he had an earthly aspect... (i lost track of who Thor pulled out of the different "hosts"

[bruinsfan]

Heimdall was the first Asgardian Thor pulled out of a human host - that guy in New Orleans who was ranting about Katrina. He was still around as of the last Thor comic I picked up.

A forgotten hero returns, mightier than Thor himself, but will the truth behind his exile consume them all?

Please Yahweh, Odin, and Flying Spaghetti Monster, do not let this mean the Sentry is coming back yet again.

[espanolbot]

Yeah, at this or any point I wouldn't describe Sentry as either Mighty or Heroic. More Armageddon in Yellow, impersonal and kind of stupid.

[salinea]

Heimdall was one of the first (if not the?) that Thor pulled out of his host in JMS' run (he was in the recently destroyed New Orleans) - so the character shouldn't be missing.

[shadowpsykie]

oh, still though, this shouldn't be him right?

[salinea]

shouldn't be, no.

[sherkahn]

I'm guessing he is a son of Bor, half-brother to Odin and Cul.

[shadowpsykie]

hmmm i am curious. have they ever used Vili and Vé

[salinea]

they show up in a flashback in Simonson's run.

[shadowpsykie]

heh, fun :D how many brothers DOES he have?

[cainofdreaming]

It depends on which part of his anatomy is telling the tale.

[bruinsfan]

In mythology just the two, Vili and Ve. Of course now that they've retconned another brother in, who knows?

[cainofdreaming]

Vali Halfling?

[salinea]

Given Vali's recent actions in X Factor, unlikely.

[cainofdreaming]

Well, that's kinda all dark matter to me so him resurfacing there is news. Off to uncannyxmen.net to see the specifics.

Thanks for the heads-up, also, I do like to keep tabs on the less used characters.

[salinea]

He was also in Age of Heroes - Prince of Power before that! :)

[cainofdreaming]

Oh, I actually heard of that but totally forgot. Thanks again.

Hm, it's not on comixology yet. Well, have to wait a bit I guess.

[salinea]

... then again the stuff in X-Factor involved a wolf pup, and now we start with a wolf pup too. Hmmmmmmm.

[cainofdreaming]

And he'd need a new 'face' after that.

...sorry, feeling a bit punnish.

[sinisterlink]

I am amused by this guy and his issues with territory. I can just imagine him breaking up with the girl later.

"Honey, I really like you and we've had a really great time together, but you left a toothbrush in the bathroom, so you need to GTFO"

I also love how everyone was decieved by Leah's crappy Hela costume.

[shadowpsykie]

"Honey, I really like you and we've had a really great time together, but you left a toothbrush in the bathroom, so you need to GTFO"

i mean, i can get how some people would be freaked out about something like that. I would get freaked out if a guy left his tooth brush, or hung clothes in my closet (there is barely enough room for ME in there:) without talknig first...

but he came off kinda douchey

[crabby_lioness]

It's not the crappy costume so much as the splinter of Hela's essence that does it.

[angelophile]

Aegis, maybe?

[okkult3000]

Aegis is dead as hell. Or hades. Because that's where he went. After he died.

[angelophile]

Which would probably explain why he'd be worried to see Hela turn up in his neighborhood, yes?

[icon_uk]

To be fair, I think Hela turning up in the neighbourhood would make ANYONE worried.

[crabby_lioness]

You didn't show that utterly completely awesome double page that is made of everything good? For shame.



Do you know what that is? That is the promise of a comic book crossover done right. None of this AvX crud, this is the stuff that legends are made of.

[cainofdreaming]

You know what would make it even better? Three kid Lokis.

Wait, no, they've got that covered. Do go on.

[crabby_lioness]

And two Danis and a hell-puppy! Don't forget the hell-puppy.

[grazzt]

And the one in the middle is looking at the reader, as if to say, "Yeah, I know there's three of me. What are you going to do about it?"

[crabby_lioness]

While smirking.

The three Lokis

[eaglet_auditore]

XD What I saw was:
-I didn't do it! I didn't do it!
-Ok, MAYBE I DID!! :D
-Uh, yeah, about that...

Re: The three Lokis

[crabby_lioness]

- It's about those pesky "consequences" again, isn't it?

[icon_uk]

The two skinny ones balance out the fat one

[bjornwilde]

Is that Volstagg looking all ZZ Top in the middle with the fringe coat?!?!?

[crabby_lioness]

EVERYTHING good. ;)

[icon_uk]

I posted that one AGES ago sweetie! :) (You think I'd miss out a pic of Doug being all brave and heroic with his... baseball bat?! :)

Not that it's not lovely to see again!

[crabby_lioness]

Wrong link. Nice link, but wrong link. :)

[icon_uk]

Oops! ;)

Here it is

And mine is bigger! ;P

[eaglet_auditore]

This picture rebooted my mind into a state of constant amazement.

[crabby_lioness]

*nods*

"Everything good."

[kamino_neko]

What's 'Thor' from Adventures in Babysitting doing there?

[crabby_lioness]

Adding in Power Pack would make it more awesome than this world could stand.

[his_spiffynesss]

Could it be Beta Ray Bill? That could be his human form seen in Omega Flight.

[crabby_lioness]

BRB has a girlfriend and is not a douche. They were still together as of the last issue of S.W.O.R.D.

[turtlefu]

So I see they are now intent to take something like Journey, which is so good I would say it is the Sandman of superhero comics, and mash it up with New Mutants, which is by no means bad but the tones DO NOT match.

[crabby_lioness]

New Mutants has been changing in tone, becoming more like the mortal parts of JiM.

[akodo_rokku]

My question is, is that Viking Magneto on the last part of the gatefold?

[crabby_lioness]

It's a red-head, not silver.

Huh. Could be "Eric the Red". We never have had a satisfactory explanation for all his appearances.

[icon_uk]

Making the X-Men's various "Erik the Red" an actual Norse character would only make things MORE confusing IMHO.

[cainofdreaming]

Erik the Red Norvell...

It's Xorn all over again.

[eaglet_auditore]

Getting more and more and more interested in reading New Mutants. Where should I start (without going too far back and nuking my budget)?

This is the one crossover I'm eagerly awaiting for.
Lol Leah, that suit!
Hell Pups make everything better.

[bruinsfan]

I'd definitely recommend Amara's "Date with the Devil" issue.

[eyz]

A fun crossover, if there is one!
