There's a little blurb on the miniseries on Comics Continuum. Looks like ugly art to me...

Hmmm I actually kind of like the art.I like the backgrounds,good detail.Hes good with facial exspressions.And Kurts costume looks like it actually fits.I hear this guy is supposed to be a good story-teller too.
Ok what I dont like-good with facial exspressions aside Kurt doest look as handsome as he should.A little too much like Jay Leno for my tastes.Plus Im sure its just the shading but he looks like he has some grey hairs,lol. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I like it. Reminds me of Chris Bachalo's Nightcrawler, with his Jay Leno chin. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Thanks for the info, Elwing!

Bachalo came to my mind too. And that's okay, I mean, you have to admire Bachalo! He did a very charming Nightcrawler with a great sense of humor.
...so if that's any indication...

ewww....I don't like it!
I like it. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
I see the Bachelo connection, but it also makes me think of Ron Garney. If anyone saw his issues of Cap Am. or the Hulk, you know what I mean. If Garney's elf looks like this I will be pleased.
xfan says he has a better image here http://www.cinescape.com/x-men/edito...d=279&sub_id=0
I'm still not keen on how he's drawn but it looks very nice otherwise. I'm very curious to find out what he's up to here. It looks like his sense of humor hasn't been forgotten.
I LOVE the idea of a mini series - I do!
But... I definately hate how the Elf looks, and I even more hate the suit! I want his old one back. Not that strange, whoopy, non fashion, out-of-date, horrible and black suit.
Look at the face! It shows and blue dude - NOT the Kurt Wagner I know! -- I really hope the story is good.

jay leno?? hahahah you're right!
i don't mind at all, i agree with rex and elwing, it remaninds me Bachalo's art, the only thing i complain about, is the priest collar
------------------
give a kiss tall and dark bamfsome!!!
Woooo....Jay Leno all the way! Yikes! I like
the little sparklies in his bamf signature
though. He's using that image inducer too. I
hope one of those panels where he seems to
be looking at his own (non-holographic)
reflection explains why well. I hate that
thing, and usually he does too.
The costume is growing on me, and the priest
thing, while annoying, has ceased to bother
as long as it's done okay. I still don't see
it lasting. He's still a trainee to give the
writer a back door out.
He looks pretty happy in those panels, and
I'd like to see him that way since he's all
pissy in Uncanny right now.
He does look like he's got some hella gray
hair. Need some Just for Men, hon?

yeah I'm glad to see his joi de vivre back. (forgive me if I spelt that wrong) I was very upset to see him characterized as such a sourpuss in Uncanny. Even if he does look, well, kinda homely, I like to see him smile. Whatever he's up to, it looks interesting.
I'll give the story a go. May be it will be good enough to help me forget the art...
The priest thing sucks. Why? Cuz a priest is not allowed to fight. Where are his parishoners? The story no matter how well written will not work the moment "Father Wagner" throws a punch. He should be defrocked for his behavior. Gee, may be that will happen!

"What was that smell?"

Ok, the first thing that I thought when I saw the pic was: "Mein Gott, what happened to his FEET?!". I mean, first impression was that the art just did not go...but then something happened. Every time I looked at it, all of a sudden, the way that Kurt looked didn't really bother me. I mean, look! he's smiling, he has been drawn in a very charismatic and humorous way (or maybe it's the Jay Leno look!). Here he is, jumping, bamfing, being optimistic and at the same time recognizing his true self and hating the inducer...it is the elf! (or at least the creators are trying to capture him). So no matter how strange the drawing of him is, comparing it to other versions of our elf, ladies and gent, every time I look at the pic again, I'm starting to like what I see even more.
And by the way, what would happen (hypothetically of course) if Jay Leno's studios got hold of a sample of this pic and Jay decided to feature it in the show ... I'm thinking selfless-promotion here! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
Then, again, don't mind me, my brains have been fried from the calculus II final exam this morning... :P
