Bishop and a FEMALE Fantomex? Whaaaaa? With Bishop on the team anyone see a clash with Cable's X-Force coming?
Not a huge fan of some of the designs especially for Puck and his claim to fame was a bouncer in Canada? haha what?
Bishop's the enemy rather than on the team.
And yeah, a clash with Cable's X-Force is planned.
Oh must have missed that part of the interview
It's mentioned in http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...ticle&id=41085
Wow - they ditched the goatee. It's the only minus in the design (re-design) even though Puck was sans goatee in AF vol 2.
I'm really looking forward to this - it's a very radical take on the concept, and if you think about it, he's the only dude in a team comprised solely of women (I don't even know if such a combo could have existed, say 15-20 years ago).
Only question is - will he be able to do his funky acrobatics in that costume? :-)
haha this was posted on another board...
"Four chicks and Puck? That's not X-Force. That's Eugine's Angels. http://images.killermovies.com/forum...rtoon/cool.gif"
I hope they treat Puck as the hero he should be, badass or whatever.
The outfit doesn't look bad, but it looks more like something he should be wearing in his downtime, not in a fight. I second the concern that acrobatics just wouldn't look right with a 'costume' that looks like it would limit mobility.
'is not a down' What does that phrase mean? I'm glad the writer is excited about Puck being a bad ass who's size doesn't inhibit his ability to rase hell (lol) but I do hope the guy 'gets' the rest. You know? At least they aren't trying to make him handsom, even if the writer does aparently have an issue with the hairy man thighs. lol
I think thats "Clown" rather than "Down"
I thought about whether or not to post for a bit. I've decided i won't post anything. Oh, wait...hmm...
Well, since i'm here anyways, I'm not a fan of the re-design of Puck. Only way I am picking up this series, is if they do such an amazing job with Puck that I HAVE to pick it up; and I really hope they DO...but they will have to make me a fan, dragging me kicking and screaming into it. I'm having trouble envisioning Puck on a team that isn't Alpha Flight without feeling sick to my stomach.
The redesign does look cool, but it doesn't look much like a superhero costume. It is, as they say, street wear.
It's like we can't have superhero costumes anymore because somebody somewhere said they look silly, or unrealistic. Because nobody would ever dress like that in real life.
(Insert picture of cyclists here.)
I was about to compare it to an X-Force costume, thinking of Leifeld, but then I remembered what the series was.
And I second (third, fourth, whateverth) the idea that it doesn't look useful for acrobatics. I think that's because they're going more for a brawler (bouncer) than an acrobat, which is a part of the character.
Still, I'll be reading it -for a while at least. They seem to care about the character and all.

As long as they have Puck as a positive hero, fine. He's the one character I always liked and have liked more over time.
Well, yeah to that.Quote:

I still don't get it, Puck isn't a mutant, but there he is in an X-costume...And Toronto, Ontario is the middle of no where, Canada?...Sigh.

You don't have to be a mutant to be an X-Man though; look at Longshot.
True, I didn't get it then either. Spiral isn't a mutant too, so I guess its a mish-mash team.
Juggernaut wasn't a mutant and he breifly was on the team.

Yeah it's sort of like Uncanny Avengers, which is a joint Avengers/X-Men team now
Geez, Storm looks like a freakin' Kardashian. As for Puck, he's gonna get the snot kicked out of him every time he's in a fight because the bad guys aren't going to stand and wait while he takes off his "x-jacket".
Well, if he can't fight in it, he can always dance 'Thriller'.Quote:

If it's his ex-jacket I don't see why he'd ever even wear it, kind of defeats the purpose.....
Well if it is his ex-jacket maybe he is just sentimental and misses her.
Maybe it's now a pair of pants?
I find any outfit that doesn't have a big, orange "P" on the front of it a step up for Puck. I agree that as long as he's written well (i.e.: not a punching bag, not the one constantly screwing up/needing saving) I'm good with pretty much any kind of redesign for Judd.

Unfortunately for me, the only character associated with this book that i give one fig about is Eugene Judd. That leaves me 'unsure' if i will bother to pick this up; why read about so many characters that I don't care about? That is the 'problem', if you will, with team books; and with so very many comics out there to choose from, that makes it tougher to make that sort of a choice.
Completely disagree with your opinion on this one. The big orange P is VITAL to Puck's costume, it is a very part of what makes him unique.Quote:

I love Sam's enthusiasm. Hopefully it'll transfer over well.
And I'm with Legerd on the P issue - I don't think anyone should be defined by a costume rather than their personality. That just makes a pretty weak, poorly-written character IMO.
One of those Puck images and the solicited cover was published on 10/31/12 in the Marvel Preview Magazine.
Also, some news: the cover is now solicited as a poster!!!! It's supposed to be out 11/14/12 according to the magazine. It had been previously solicited as "Marvel Now December Poster Tba"
Also it's now showing on TFAW: http://www.tfaw.com/Posters/Profile/...oster___413144
Love,

Yeah, I've got the poster listed in the Jan Solicits article.
Great! Everything matches up then. The Jan solicits didn't show an image so I wasn't 100% which image that solicit was referring to. But now we know. Uh, again.
