Time for some fun - New Mutants Annual #2

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:36:35 GMT

Posted by: icon_uk

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...

( Why do we do these things we do? )

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! )

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?

( Two pages under the cut )

New Mutants #41

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:08:12 GMT

Posted by: stolisomancer

After the team almost all got killed horribly in the last arc, New Mutants #41 is a downtime issue. Blink shows up, sees everyone's acting glum, and teleports everyone to Madripoor to party down at their local, somewhat-later-than-everyone-else celebration of the Chinese New Year.

This, for some reason, involves David Lopez deciding to go a little exaggerated and cartoony from time to time. I will warn you now that Roberto has gone out for the evening and decided, "You know what? I'm going to do my best Donkey Kong impression. Ladies love that!"

Then Doug facepalms. It's great.

( Roberto screws up )

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

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:52:58 GMT

Posted by: icon_uk

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! )

Newsarama has a few X-title previews, including Uncanny X-Men #4

I need a balance from announcing deaths...

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 15:13:07 GMT

Posted by: icon_uk

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 )

Just to remind us that random acts of kindess should be appreciated!

It has been noted that since Cypher's return, certain artists have drawn our favourite little mutant linguist as looking a little emaciated, approaching the cadaverous at times.

This is partly to rectify this, and partly to remind us that there are nice people in the world.

( Looking GOOD there Dougie boy! )

And for legality, I'm indebted to alphaflightcollector's blogspot for a delightfully naughty little reveal about Mr Douglas "Potty Mouth" Ramsey...

( When he says he speaks EVERY language, that does include 'bad' I suppose )
