hey!
thats pretty neaT(excepy wolvie, pth)
you'd think w/ all that hanging upside down ......
!!!!!!^^^^
wow
that doesnt make any sense!
lil mental burp
excuse me
..sorry
thanks for shareing 'o fearless leader.
Hmmm.. there it looks like everyone's dressed like X-Man.
Kurt's smiling pretty big for someone who practically has his face up Wolvie's butt. The costume leaves something to be desired... oh yes, shoes. *looks again* ... *stares* What the hell is wrong with his hand?! It's all warty or something! Ew!
And this: "WIN! Design the next X-MAN!" Oh please no. Like we really need more X-Men.
After reading the responses I'm afraid to click that link. Is it really that bad??
Nah, he's not that close to violating his Christian beliefs on homosexuality...
Look at the hand! ARGH, WHAT IS IT?! Whatever it is, it's more repulsive than the hint of bad breath we're all so worried about in Ultimate.
Thanks, KC!
Finally, Logan's wearing a shirt!
Ya know, it looks like Churchill isn't going to be half-bad!
About that hand: Churchill likes to exaggerate anatomy. He just insisted on drawing every single hand muscle as though he were illustrating some kind of mutant dictionary of anatomy.
I like this image!
How was the magazine itself? Any interesting info?

It wasn't all that great, although the Alex Ross designs are pretty friggin' cool. The "Design the Next X-Man" contest is actually a "Design the new charcter for Th Brotherhood book"
Here's the Alex Ross Nightcrawler and Angel designs: http://www.geocities.com/lasrach/xspecial3.html
While Ross's uniform for Kurt looks like some kind of absurd synchronized swimming costume, that close-up of his face is absolutely fantastic. He looks like a mad scientist!

Ya know, I kinda like this image! Thanks oh-fearless-leader! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
Not being as critical as the rest, I'm just happy to see he isn't severely warped in any significant aspect. (Hands hardly apply to a cover, methinks! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif )

Okay, I'm going to be different from everyone else, and say AWESOME! I don't know about anyone else, but I've always liked Churchill. Wolverine looks the best, and Iceman reminds me of something out of the Matrix. And what's the deal with everyone pointing out Nightcrawler's hand, has nobody noticed that you don't see the priest collar on his costume? And Alex Ross definitely rules! I'll agree that the costume does look like a wetsuit, but I always thought Kurt would look good in violet. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

Actually the priest collar is there, it is a coloring mistake so it blends into the costume.
Look below (or rather in this position above) his chin and to the left. See the little blue rectangle. Thats the priest collar, it just got painted blue.
The regular wizard special has all the new X-men's costumes on display. If you get a chance to see it, it is worth a look. The issue has a better visual on NC's costume.

Oh. OK... I keep seeing and hearing about all these icky things that are showing up and going to show up (skinless man anyone?) and I'm already in a constant state of panic because of... something I shouldn't mention until I know for sure. Three possible decisions, I don't get to pick, and none of them are really good.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif It still looks warped to me, though.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>He looks like a mad scientist!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif! Maybe he'll get some of his lust for life, er, I mean enthusiasm back.
Yeah, I thought that's what it was about the collar. But I just can't do it, I can't nitpick something about the art/artists that have taught me so much about drawing these seemingly few years I've been reading comics. In fact I have trouble nitpicking anything! Let's face it, these guys have a lot of pressure on them and they do the best they can. So what if it's a little exagerrated? That's his style. I think we shouldn't put down what we don't like, and celebrate the simple fact that Kurt is back, and here to stay!
I like the new costumes. It's a shame he's got purple instead of red, but he could've gotten...I don't know...periwinkle or something.
Just a note, guys: the Alex Ross designs aren't being used. They'll be dressed like they are on the cover. Or am I completely wrong, KC?

I'm saving the champagne for when the priest thing ends. He won't really be back for me until it's over, and maybe not even then. He just isn't the same! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif

The Alex Ross designs aren't being used, they're just cool looking. Although, Ross said that he might use them sometime down the road sometime if he ever gets the chance to work on an X-Men project.
And I kinda agree that Ross's NC costume is a bit funny lookin'....I think it's because of how he's posed and where the purple comes down to...if you extend the purple to below his knees it looks a helluva lot better. I'd personally like to see NC in a suit more like Ross's Cyclops.
Oh, and BC, wouldja do us all a favor and scan some of the reg. Wizard stuff in for us??
Well I finally got the nerve to click those links! I really like the new costume by Ross. As great as the red and black looked, it was getting old. Its good to see some thinking-outside-the-box. I hope they use it. Great that Kurt's curly hair is back, I missed it! As for his hands. He's been drawn in the past with thick, muscular hands. Keep in mind he runs on them sometimes. I think I'll give the priest thing another chance.
As for the cover, I still think Iceman looks like evo Scott. That's not a bad thing though. Now if they would just stop shoving that damned Wolverine in my face....

... I like the hair. Kinky, curly, crazy! Heh. *scrolls page so only head of pic is visible, uses thumb to cover unsettling coloring error, commences drooling*

(finally giving in to the appeal of denial)
No joke Sheemie! Cover collar, drool away! I really, really like the Churchill. His hand doesn't look bad! And I like their costumes. It's kinda a business casual superhero look. However, the Ross's scare me. Kurt looks like he's on hell's swim team and Warren just looks...goofy. I dunno, I ordinarily love his stuff, but these don't do anything for me.
Danke Knightie!

Wolvie: "My pupils are gone! I'M BLIND!!
Kurt: "Umm..Logan. Some of us can see just fine without them."
Wolvie: "Oh, sorry."
He he excuse zhe brain fart here. I just thought it fit zhe cover. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
Kurt looks perfectly ok to me...
And Iceman...ooh yeah, lookin' good http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
Besides the usual Wolverine hogging all the spot-lite I like the cover over all.Im really curious to what this new creative team has in store for the fuzzball.

Just because he's crawling walls doesn't mean that they aren't just as dirty. Ever noticed the crap that sticks to some high cielings? I dunno, just a thought.
Anyway, his feet probably would get pretty sore, but then you never know... he might inexplicably start walking in one issue with foot pads that "magically" appeared and have always been there. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif Although that would be kinda cool, it's a bit to much of a stretch on the ol' artistic license.

Ditto about the cover DRAGS! For once could we PUH LEEEEZE have an X-cover without Wolverine taking up the whole friggin' page?
That would have been a really cool Churchill Nightcrawler to scan if not for LOGANS' ARM TAKING UP MOST OF KURT's IMAGE!! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/mad.gif
I've gotta agree with the consensus.. I really like the way his new outfit looks! But barefoot? hhmmn it looks cool, but wouldnt it hurt the crap out of his feet after a while? And the DIRT he'd accumulate on the soles of his feet.....yuck!

Is this a vote for starry violet Kurt? http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/eek.gif
Really, if you think about it, him being barefoot isn't that big of a change, since he essentially just wore gloves on his feet before. Granted, that's SOMETHING between skin and ground, but it's not like he's been wearing anything with a sole, so he's probably got some natural foot pads...callouses.
Awww does widdle fuzzy elfs feet hurt?
Here Drags will work those magic fingers for--*WUAGHH*pew* Your feet stink worse than your teleports sulphur and brimstone stench!Sorry your on your own pal.I dont care how hot you look in that skimpy warlord out fit.....
