Some more classic New Mutant and X-Men fun - X-Men Annual #10

I got a happy posting the Alan Davis New Mutants Annual from 1986 a few days ago, so here goes with the companion piece X-Men Annual #10, this time with none other than Art Adams on art!

This is all icon_uk's fault. If you don't enjoy this, blame him for posting New Mutants stuff. He started it.

A number of people point to this mini-series as one of the worst of all time. Personally, I find it cracky and fun, so that's why I'm sharing. Feel free to disagree. While most of this issue was setup, later issues will take a turn for the entertaining.

( Remember that time Roberto and Warlock ran off to Manhattan and lived on the streets? )

We need more of this sort of thing in comic books. Especially a title like the New Mutants

How to introduce a rival team - The New Mutants meet the Hellions

2012-05-07T18:20:15Z

Posted by: icon_uk

Firstly please excuse the quality of the scans, the comics themselves are 28 years old and have been much read! :)

So this is another of my "Accentuate the Positive" posts, a glimpse into the past at some story or concept I thought was well presented, to prevent me making another angry post about current comics (Though I'll still post about the good ones of those I find too of course)

I need a balance from announcing deaths...

And so to that end, I'm going to spend the next couple of posts to showcase a couple of artists who are not only well and truly alive, but who have a vibrancy to them that re-energises me just looking at them.

Here's the first, a chap by the name of Patricio Oliver, an Argentinian artist who has a blog here and who is a regular contributor to the always worth a wander through Project: Rooftop.

He has a very stylised style which could annoy the hell out of me, and in lesser hands probably would, but these are beautiful, with a very Erté feel to it.

( The Guardians of the Galaxy )

( A purely notional (alas) New X-Men cartoon )

And a fun assortment of 1920's style New Mutants, for no reason other than the 20's were fun

( So why not... )

( And because I like the use of contrast - Northstar )

But this is how I first cam across Patricio's work, as he shares my abiding affection for Saint Seiya (Which was HUGE in South America, amongst other places, back in the day)

( The Bronze Saints of Saint Seiya )

Age of X Chapters 1 and 2

Posted by: long_silence

So in previous posts I've tried to explain the plot of the current X-Event, Age of X.

Well last week the first two chapters both came out on the same day, due to that odd tendency where every month all of Marvel's major titles are all shipped out on the same week and here are some pages from each.

Since multiple posters reported Imageshack trying to force spyware on them, I changed the host of the pictures to Photobucket, which means that they are now not under thumbnails. So people with slow connections, beware. Here are some text links for you.

New Mutants Forever 1-3 (And a preview of 4)

2010-11-09T22:54:31Z

Posted by: icon_uk

There's not been a lot of attention for the New Mutants here lately, either the current run, or the "New Mutants Forever", and it's maybe time to do something about that.

Now, for those not familiar with the concept of "a curates egg" it dates back to an old Punch cartoon in 1895, where a parson is seen having breakfast whilst visiting his bishop, and the bishop notes, "I'm afraid you've got a bad egg, Mr Jones.", to which the very nervous curate replies, desperate not to seem ungrateful or rude, "Oh, no, my Lord, I assure you that parts of it are excellent!"

Now a bad egg is, of course, bad all through, so the original meaning was something which may appear to have good and bad bits, but overall is spoiled, and nowadays generally means something which is a mixed bag of good and bad...

And why do I mention this when starting a review of the first three issues of New Mutants Forever.. Go on... guess!

First one of the good parts... an Art Adams Warlock cover from issue 2!

A LOT of images under the cut (Around 7 pages from issues 1, 2 and 3, and 2 pages of a preview of 4)

30 Days of Scans: Day 11 - Favourite Elseworlds/Multiverse/Etc.

2010-08-26T22:31:33Z

Posted by: icon_uk

I've already used the X-Men's "Asgardian War" storyarc as an example of best friendship between Warlock and Cypher. And here it is again, as a springboard for perhaps my favourite "What it...?" world.

The cover alone convinced me! :D

At the end of the Asgardian Wars Loki gave the X-Men and New Mutants a choice, stay in Asgard and keep all that they had achieved there, all the new lives and new loves they had found, and in the case of Storm, powers returned to her, or return to Earth as they had been before they arrived; Storm would be powerless, Magma would be human instead of the elf-form the elven folk had curssed her with, and so on (The only exception he made, out of ~~narrative necessity~~ courtesy, was that Karma would NOT be returned to the grotesquely obese form her time under the control of the Shadow King had given her). The choice HAD to be unanimous though

Of course, in the mainstream MU, the choice to return to was made, but this IS a "What if...?"

One Perfect Moment - Danielle Moonstar's Showdown

2010-07-26T09:17:29Z

Posted by: perletwo

Six and a third pages plus preview image from a 22 page story found in New Mutants v1 #18, "Death Hunt." This sums up all the reasons I loved Dani Moonstar back in the day, even though those same qualities lead to disaster in this 3-issue story.

Dani's been having psychic nightmares about the demon bear that killed her parents, and hiding it from the rest of the team.

So she works herself to exhaustion in the Danger Room fighting bears, and blows off Illyana's concerns after a sim.
( Illyana didn't believe a word I said... )
love the OPM comm header, guys!

Death Week - The Death of Cypher

2010-06-08T23:09:55Z

Posted by: icon_uk

I'm indebted to proteus_lives whose scans of these from a posting way back were easier to find on my hard disc and edit than digging out my copy of New Mutants #60. There are just over 5 pages from a 40 page issue here.

Summation of events to date... Sunspot and Warlock had left the team after Bobby had run away from school after accidentally nearly crippling Sam, and Warlock had left with him to make sure he was okay (Why Warlock would leave Doug and co like that is never adequately explained, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LIKE Louise Simonson's writing on other titles, her Power Pack was awesome, but her New Mutants issues just plain never worked for me). They end up joining the Fallen Angels gang for a while, but eventually leave to come back home.

Meanwhile, bereft of his selfsoulfriend (and also his protection in battle situations), Doug is on something of a downer, his inferiority complex kicks into high gear, and even his somewhat unexpected relationship with Rahne is suffering because she is spending all her time fussing around a new friend "Birdbrain", humanoid bird creature who they helped release from captivity. He's basically having a REALLY shitty few months..

( But it's still better than what it so come )

char: cypher.doug ramsey, char: warlock, char; cannonball/sam guthrie, char: sunspot/roberto dacosta, char: wolfsbane/rahne sinclair, char: mirage/dani moonstar, title: new mutants, creator: louise simonson, creator: brett blevins, event: death week

Wolverine is tired of you eating his eggs

2010-05-19T11:38:03Z

Posted by: angelophile

Faith Erin Hicks, who was on art duties for Zombies Calling, has got a story in the upcoming issue of Girl Comics. But, apparently, before that story was approved, she drew an 11 page story about the day-to-day trials and tribulations of shared living in the X-men mansion. Which Marvel rejected. Presumably because it's cute, funny, no-one dies and the only angst in it is from Wolverine complaining that someone ate his special Canadian eggs.

Luckily, she's made the whole story available for free on her website: www.faitherinhicks.com/wolverine/index.html

And it is glorious.

( 2 pages of 11 under the cut. )

After Punisher Week, Ruins, and the ending of the recent New Mutants (on top of the general misery that the 616 has become in the last 6 years), it was time for cracky S-D fun. Icon_u.k. made me think of this (so he/she is to blame), the most Epic Battle ever to grace the pages of Marvel Comics.
