So is Cyclops the new Hal Jordan/Parallax?

 

[Acid08]

What a weird thing to take out. There's barely any color on the covers to begin with, just the purple but it's really what makes the covers 'pop'.

Yeah, I wish I was able to get first printings of 1 and 2 but I jumped on board too late. The covers are still cool looking though.

Here's #2

Only with no alien parasite to blame. Only poor moral character.

Da fuq? The 'how-to' illustrations are so awesome. The cover of #2 alone sold me forever and ever on Hawkguy.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Lol at those shitty Image baby variants.get Skottie Young to draw Uncanny Avengers, he needs his big break.

 

[Hero]

And what the hell, has Magneto been using roids or something? Was he always that jacked?

Everyone in comics are jacked at all times. The level of jacked may fluctuate though.

 

[Parallax]

Yup. Bad guy book confirmed.


Mags looks like Joe Mad redesigned him.

those muscles.... i cant stop laughing. is this supposed to be some 90s styled variant costume?

Indeed. Which is funny since in the All New X-Men cover, you can see that Scott as a kid was skinny while his older self is huge. Granted, it's a neat way of showing that he did hit a growth spurt and grew into his height.

Maybe Sabrerooth killed Mags and is wearing his skin?

 

[Parallax]

....that does look like something creed would wear.

It looks like his Joe Mad togs.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Looking good. Emma back in black is the best part. Can't wait for Uncanny X-Men, even if Bendis is writing.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Who's beside Rachel to the left in that Uncanny X-men cover?

Better not be Oya. :/

I hope it's somebody lame, like Frenzy or Cecilia.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Oh shit is that Rachel?? COnfirmed???

 

[krypt0nian]

Oh shit is that Rachel?? COnfirmed???

Why would Rachel agree to follow him? Character flip again.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Nah, it's not Rachel. Those are 2 new mutants who are also seen in the All New X-Men cover. It was confirmed not to be Rachel a while ago.

 

[krypt0nian]

Praise Odin.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

noone knows what to do with rachel. at least they admit it with nate grey

Frenzy and Cece Reyes are NOT lame!!!

I'm used to her being ignored, but better that than being used incorrectly. One of my fave characters, and she's terminally fucked.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Cy-bro, Bro-neto, and the Sisterhood of Sassy Mutant Bitches. Lovely Bachalo art, but will be same ol' Bendis.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Aaron will hopefully get around to her again. His Rachel issue in WXM was really great.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Fuck the haters, Avengers Arena looks like pure awesomeness. Exactly what we needed after Gage's after school special take on teen characters.

Can't go there with ya but enjoy. Gage is way too hit/miss, but this is just a bad idea for a monthly.

Maybe a mini would have made more sense.

I look at it as a combo with Young Avengers. They are everything you could ask for from teen books. Just wish Titans would stop being a Tim Drake solo title.

 

[LiQuid!]

Sleeveless Magneto, rawr! Beefcake! Seriously isn't he like 100 years old?

Ed: Oh and I would be much more accepting of Avengers Arena if it wasn't such a cheap ploy to chase Hunger Games popularity. Also tossing an unknown writer on it doesn't help.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Here's the full image.

Isn't that Magik on the bottom right?

Wait...wut? LMAO at Mags! Wait...is that Idie?! NoOOoOooOOOoOoOoO!

edit: Not Rachel...good! Fuckin Bendis man, I swear Emma looks nothing like...Emma but rather looks like Magik 2. Magik looks like Warbird >.>

 

[Auron_Kale]

Sleeveless Magneto, rawr! Beefcake! Seriously isn't he like 100 years old?

He's had like white hair since like forever... And yeah, if he was old enough to survive the concentration camps, he shouldn't be cheesecake status at this point...

The damn helmet is even more annoying... same with Cyke's visor: can anyone legitimately see through that crap or is this a play on the 'myopic vision' thing?

 

[kswiston]

Magneto costume looks like a mash-up of his AoA suit and the costume he wore briefly after joining the X-Men in Claremont's run. The one on the left of this cover.

Also the age of apocalypse costume for comparison:

Same costume by Bachelo:

 

[Owzers]

That uncanny x-men image looks like they pasted a weird magneto head over Logan.

Just add the magneto helmet Xo

I'm probably buying the first issue too....it's going to be Bendis Bad

What's with Logan's head? Jeez... he might as well be wearing a helmet with those proportions... I like stylized but this is kinda wtf...

Still not as bad a Ramos.

Wolverine's head looks like two side profile shots of wolverine looking at himself.

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

I'm borrowing Uncanny X-Force trades from a friend. Read straight through Apocalypse Solution. I'm in awe. Got some wonderful weekend reading to do.

I plan on buying the Omnibus, when it gets announced.

ramos wolvie[IMG][/QUOTE]

And yet I like Ramos, but mostly on specific items, which I listed before as Impulse, Crimson & Out There.

His Impulse is iconic to me really.

This would be interesting if instead of X-men Cyclops gathered them and called themselves the Brotherhood of Mutants. They really need to just drag Cyclops down this shithole he's created until he finally wakes up surrounded by and leading the very villains he's fought so long against and finally feel some real remorse for killing basically his father.

I wonder what Bendis overall plan is for the X-verse.

Dark Cyclops Saga?

I think/hope this is the intent. The only question is, will Cyke fans cry loud enough for them to not follow through.

Gotta crawl through a river of mud before you come out clean again...

I'll stick around to follow, but man... the payoff better be worth it. If he does become a villain, he'd better be amazing otherwise, meh.

See this I don't get. I don't think there is alot of actual Cyke fans out there and i'm one of them and would love for this to happen. It would really give him some much needed depth besides being a sought after genepool by women and Sinister.

I hope they go straight "Magneto at his darkest dark" with Cyclops.

It's not about the amount of Cyke fans, but rather how loud they cry. It's pretty damn loud. I agree it will definitely give his character more depth, because I really feel like he's not that deep. One thing I am happy about though is that writers never sunk to the level of "He's just as powerful as his brother/mother/sister/etc" shtick that many writers do when they can't think of shit to do with their character.

 

[Auron_Kale]

I want that too. I mean, merging with Apocalypse is bound to f you up good, so going big bad and awesome would be cool.

That said, with All New X-Men, I'll laugh if Teen Scott realizes that never getting with Jean = not creating the mess the current world is in = good thing. Considering all the women who have wanted to get with him, he'll be okay.

 

[Angelus Errare]

I don't see why all these chicks want to get with Cyke...hell Wolverine either. Poor Peter

 

[Nesotenso]

Pretty laughable to suggest that Cyclops has been going on a villain path like Magneto. It's like people fail to read and comprehend

I honestly don't think he's really becoming one, just more like if they did, I want him to be an awesome bad guy.

He's more like tragic anti-hero at this point or just tragic hero. Granted I love the character, but I hate how some writers have him overly moody/angsty.
