All New X-Men interiors/exteriors (spoilers)

Well I don't think anyone is saying they want all the art to be exactly the same, but Marvel has seemingly thrown away anything regarding continuity of looks in recent years. Where in one comic Storm can suddenly have a mohawk cause the artist wants it while all others are her long hair, or Beast is Ape Beast in one comic and cat beast in others. It's not that people are calling for all art to be the same but for there to be consistency when it comes to a character model, and then artists can have their differing takes on a few things. It'd be like if suddenly a new artist comes into Spider-Man and for one arc for no reason he's wearing the black suit just cause the artist likes that suit. It would be jarring and wouldn't make sense if there was no in story reason for it.

Thank god!!!

At least we have some sort of confirmation. And now I don't care if they shamelessly pit All New Jean vs. Emma or make Wolverine the father of all mutants and the person who restarts mutant births, I am just happy to get this team still.

I think I feel the opposite. the whole ordeal with spiderman bringing out the black suit in "back in black" to show he was angry was kinda lame. He's not a gov't worker or George Jetson, why can't he decide to wear one of his many different spider themed costumes when he feels like it. like wise for Storm, why can't she shave her head, throw on a wig, or add some extensions every other mission?

I can understand The whole ape / cat beast conundrum needing a little consistency since its a little harder to reconcile changes in genetic makeup. Also, his appearance has some effect on his powers as I don't think a cat can hang upside down the same way an ape can. But to play devils advocate, the way some artists draw cat beast...I am fine with them choosing to do the ape version instead lol.

Again, it comes back to interpretation. Though I don't have a problem with Storm having a different hair style every other mission, throwing on wigs etc. I think the Mohawk was taking it too far. The whole point of the mohawk during the 80s was to show a change in Ororo's attitude. Not to mention reflecting the punk DIY fashion influence in the 80s. Throwing it back on the "Queen" Ororo nowadays seemed a little off to me. That being said, I absolutely love the punk Storm look but unfortunately that is not where the character is. But different outfits, costume variations are totally fine, especially for characters that are known to be "fashionistas" or concerned with what they're wearing like Emma.

My initial reaction on the cover: YES THEY LIVE!!

Two seconds later.... it's still only a cover. There can still be a possibility either (or both) Emma and Scott die. But good to get some sort of indication that they might be around. Hrm, artist interpretation again perhaps?

edit: They wouldn't kill off Colossus again, would they!? Wouldn't he be like "Can someone else sacrifice themselves for mutantkind, I sorta already this". Plus, he's already given up the Phoenix force. Maybe there will be some sort of mutation of the Cyttorok powers after this phoenix ordeal and he will become a villain?

I'm genuinely shocked to see all of this artwork featuring Emma Frost.

agreed...

If Iron Man can switchup armors for certain situations, superheroes should be able to say eff it and wear other costumes.

The fact that Colossus isn't shown annoys me.  Cain comes back as Juggernaut and he's leaving the other X-men team soonish.  Would they really kill him...again?

Originally posted by InsipidLust I doubt they're killing him. SPOILERY I'm pretty sure one of the Editor's indicated that Colossus would be a character to watch for in 2013.

Oh?  I don't suppose you have the link to the article, hmm?  As long as Emma, Scott and Piotr are still safe I'm good.

Originally posted by InsipidLust Wigs and extensions are fly so I'm backing this as well, especially for people like Emma Frost, and Storm, who've caught flak for their inconsistent looks throughout the years. Both women are wealthy and in the public eye to some degree; surely they change their appearance from time to time.

If Beyonce can do it, why not Storm?

I have a hard time making a real life parallel for Emma Frost...she's like an amalgam of different people...

I say a mix of Nicole Kidman in looks and Cher in plastic surgery.

I won't say Madonna because that's just mean.

And ooo to that cover.

SPOILERS

So Scott AND Emma are alive. Yup Xavier's dead, haha. How unexciting and unoriginal. If had any role in the X-Men in the last five to ten years it would have much more of an impact but he's been MIA for so long. I sort of wanted Cyke to die, it just felt like that's where his character arc should go, unless his new character arc has him on the outskirts of the mutant hierarchy, now that would be interesting and honestly I'd sign with him sooner then I'd sign with Wolverine...but either way Emma lives! EMMA LIVES!! WOOOO!
