New Mutants #50 - Unfinished business, finished?

And a sort of drive-by victim of the whole AvX, Marvel NOW! thingies is the New Mutants, which reaches it's conclusion with #50

( Four pages and a bit of a ramble )

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!

Time for some fun - New Mutants Annual #2

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:36:35 GMT

It's been a long and rather trying week for this little Robin fan as so much has changed... but rather than wallow in what has been lost (I'll still do that, but on my own time) it's time for this old codger to "Accentuate the Positive" again, and reach for the comic equivalent of comfort food... and for me, that's a little classic Alan Davis.... I was going to go for his Detective Comics run, but I think I'll use bits of that for my next Robin posting, so instead, it's off to another reliable source of entertainment; The New Mutants, with added Alan Davis.... (These 16 or so (of 48) pages are scanned form my original, 26 year old copy of this, so there are liable to be some less than CG perfect colouring issues etc)

As my favourite mutant asks...

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

( So of course, they've cancelled the title... sigh )

The New Mutants discuss religion - Guest starring an actual god (or not)

Sat, 19 May 2012 23:36:51 GMT

Posted by: icon_uk

Another of my "Accentuate the Positive" posts, where I cease whining about current comics, and dig out old ones I enjoyed... I'm not sure, does that make me offically an old fogey?

After the events of New Mutants #60, I didn't buy the comic regularly again, I hadn't much liked Louise Simonson's run, and that was the final straw. I didn't feel like I missed much.

Then a couple of years later, I saw New Mutants #81 on the shelves, a done-in-one story by Chris Claremont and guest penciller Louise Williams. I wonder if it was an inventory story, as it's also mostly a flashback and features neither the regular artist nor writer.

Comic books rarely deal with religion, and perhaps that's just as well, since it's incredibly easy to offend someone be they theist, polytheist or atheist. But it can be done...

( It's all about faith )

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

Mon, 07 May 2012 18:20:15 GMT

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)

( Enemies? Sometimes. Rivals? ALWAYS! )

New Mutants #39 - Body horror that even Claremont would be proud of

Another good issue of this title IMHO, as the team finds out who is behind the problems on the island called "Paradise".

( And it's not quite who we expected (given this is an X-Title )

Marvel's "Next Big Thing" Journey into Mystery and the New Mutants cross over!

From Newsarama

The New Mutants in Asgard was one of the best stories the classic series ever had.

So it's hardly surprising that Marvel want to revisit the concept....

( But not the way you might assume! )

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 )

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.

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

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 22:54:31 GMT

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.

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 22:31:33 GMT

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...?"

( ...all things are possible )

Why Doug Ramsey Was Awesome Pt 2

Sun, 03 May 2009 15:57:55 GMT

Posted by: icon_uk.insanejournal.com

Since proteus_lives is planning to post NM Annual #2 as part of his Cypher posts before too long, I'd better pre-emptively post NM Annual #1, because of it's particular relevance to Doug! :)

When last we left Doug Ramsey, he'd just been woken up in the middle of the night by Cannonball flying in through his bedroom window to be told that he was a mutant, and taken to the X-Mansion to help the New Mutants establish meaningful dialogue with a disoriented and dangerous Warlock, which he did, which is impressive.

( What could he do to top that, you ask? )
