UNCANNY X-MEN #412
Cover by Steve Uy
Chuck Austen (w)/Ron Garney (p)/Mark Morales (i)
It's double the x-citement as Uncanny X-Men goes biweekly in September! In the finale of Chuck Austen and Ron Garney?s first story arc, can anything stop the Juggernaut?
32 pgs. with ads/FC/Marvel PG $2.25
woo-hoo! 2 solo Nighty covers in under 6 months, and he's on the cover of X-Treme!! our boy's become popular... [img]smile.gif[/img] looks like Ron gave him his curly hair, AND his nice uniform back, too [img]wink.gif[/img]
awfully convenient placement of his hand, huh?

Wow! Cool exposure! Weak art though, hate to say it, sorry. Shadows are just wrong, and it looks manga. And I hate manga. Oh, and that hand is just plain wrong from an anatomical point of view. Alan Davis where did you go?

no, no, i agree with you...it's a cool cover at first glance, but once you look at it with a critical eye towards anatomy, things start to fall apart.... [img]confused.gif[/img] maybe Juggy twisted his arm or something and that's the explanation for the funky arm [img]wink.gif[/img]
he certaibnly looks pissed tho, don't he? he doesn't often get that mad, i wonder what's up. if he's going up aginst Juggernaut by himself, this ought to be really something [img]smile.gif[/img] if he kicks Juggy's ass, (who prolly took down Archangel the issue before) no one will be able to call him a weak fighter again [img]wink.gif[/img] i mean we're talkin the Juggernaut here, a guy who could beat the living daylights outa Colossus.
but keep in mind it's not Ron, this guy is jsut doing the covers for Uncanny... maybe the interior art will be better. tho Rons cover for 410 wasn't exactly something to inspire awe either...

As long as I don't analyze it...that cover is fraggin' awesome!
But yeah, the one arm is twisted (but really only a LITTLE bitt too far.), he's missing toes, his fingers aren't long enough and his thumb is missing an entire joint (maybe Juggly Nuts bit it off? [img]wink.gif[/img] )...
But still...I'm off to my mom's house to abuse her color printer. [img]wink.gif[/img]

at least theyve stopped drawing him 30-somthing and creepy looking...... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I love the concept that Blue is getting this kind of exposure! As long as I don't look too close. I detest manga... Crawler is right he is missing a joint in his thumb and where are his fingernails? [img]mad.gif[/img]
Oooo Nocturn, you are forgetting his X-Factor cover! Three covers! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
BamfKat,
Who decides he is going to wander off and not post until he is in a less negative mood. [img]wink.gif[/img] maybe I need more [img]graemlins/coffee.gif[/img]
-
that's true... no 40 something (or older)looking crawler here! glad we're otua that unfortunate phase...
and Bamfkat, you're right!!! he goes for HOW LONG without a cover to himself?? (mini doesn't count for obvious reasons...) and now 3 solo covers within the span of a few months!
you know, in September he comes damn close to usurping Wolverine in dominating the X-Books. Wolverine is in his own series, 1 or two issues of New (the other apparently being a Storm/xavier thing) i am assuming atleast one issue of Uncanny... so 3, maybe 4 books. Nightcrawler is in Unlimited, X-Treme, atleast one (but probably 2) issue of Uncanny... so 3 maybe 4 books... Uncanny will be the deciding factor, if Wolvie isn't in it, then Nightcrawler is the X-Man to do the unthinkable and beat Wolverine for appearances for atleast one month... [img]smile.gif[/img]

NOCTURNE after reading that i'm smiling so hard right now it almost hurts! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img] !!
And ya know what? I think that the closer we get to the release of X2, the more we're going to see X-creators using NIGHTCRAWLER as a way to draw attention to their books. (I can't believe I just said that!)
Amazing what becoming arguably the break out star of a hit Saturday morning cartoon will do for your popularity!
(Or am I making too much of a connection between this unbelievable 'Nightcrawler-Renaissance', and the impact of him being a stand out member of the EVO cast?)
Almost 30 years of Uncanny with only one solo cover, and suddenly he has two in under 6 months. WOW!
BAMF!

Nocturne, Bamfkat! I so agree! Ive been waiting for most of my life to see him have a solo cover,
and now, 3 in lesss then 6 months! I feel faint!
This is so incredible that I almost forgot to complain about the incorrect anatomy in the pic!
He sure looks mad, huh?
-
i know, it's great isn't it? [img]smile.gif[/img]
who'dof thunk he'd be getting this level of exposure so suddenly?

If this exposure is due to his small screen presence in X-Men: Evolution imagine what things will be like twelve months from now with a big screen presence behind him...
Despite its failings...this is still a kick-arse cover...

indeed, can't wait to see!!! *jumping from her seat*
