I am all for equal opportunity fanservice, so here’s Richard Rider in his pants.

Meanwhile, Angel is waiting by her father’s hospital bed.

Also meanwhile, Alvin is mulling things over with Dwayne.

It's a nice moment and all, but pretty sure that counts as littering.


Meanwhile:
This series really is just a gallery of Rich's terrible fashion choices, huh.
(Maybe it's something about being a superhero named Richard...)

What is our position on fanservice anyway?

[iamrman]

I have no problem with it. I wouldn’t read comics if I had a problem with scantily clad people. Then again, it all depends on the artist I suppose.

Well, we used to have a porn week. Mostly just XXXenophile, though.

I don't comment often, and saying that here will make me look like I'm in "only" for the fan service, but thank you for your NW posts. They made me want to re-read the series.
I remember not liking the direction (both artistic and storywise) after Bagley left, but Robertson's art is better than in my memories and there are still nice character moments. (Still puzzled at Rage pulling out a new EXTREME costume like five minute after his grandma got killed, though.)

I still have to finish the first New Mutants omnibus, and then the second and maybe third one, but I'm very tempted to go back to NW when I'll have time, especially considering the french edition I own may be missing pages.

I am glad to hear you have been enjoying these posts. Robertson's faces are a bit off sometimes, but is overall a decent replacement for Bagley.

I have the New Mutants as Epic Collections. I wouldn’t recommend continuing on after Claremont leaves though. Unless you know what you are in for.

[onsokumaru]

Oh, I've read it back in the days and I have some love/hate for it. I actually enjoyed some parts with the characters having fun being teenagers, but what happened to Doug and Amara... Ugh...
Breet Blevins is an artist I didn't appreciate enough when I was younger, so that's another reason to re-read some issues.

[iamrman]

I have started posting New Mutants as well. I think I will stop after the Claremont issues though.

[scorntx]

Be hard to keep going when we all know New Mutants stopped after Claremont left.
