2012: Thirty Years of New Mutants

Next year will mark thirty years since the first appearance of the 3rd generation of X-Men, a.k.a. the New Mutants or "Muties." Thirty. The big 3-0. This year is to the NMs what 1991 was to the FF, or 1992 to Spider-Man. LOL To fans who were kids buying the first New Mutants comics, that's a difficult thing to mentally sort out! By now they should all have been X-Men, right? But whatever, it's 2011 now and I'm looking for fun ways to mark the event. Suggestions are welcome.

Happy Rahne

From Emilio way over Spain comes this jazzy fanart of Rahne and friends:


Thanks Emilio!

New Mutants Forever - Wolfsbane Almost Never

As ever, excerpted from an interview by Newsarama:

"Claremont shares that the main characters throughout the five issues will be Cannonball, Magik, Magma, Sunspot and Warlock."

Five issues, New Mutants circa 1987 pre-Simonson...but Rahne is not a main character.

Someone clue me in, is she still pregnant? Is she carrying the mutant messiah or whatever the latest crossover was about? I've not spent a dime on comics for at least a year now. :)

What I'd Give for Just A Little Rahne

Excerpted from Newsarama's interview with Leonard Kirk, the new artist for New Mutants:

Kirk: The appealing thing about this project for me is that I will be drawing most of the characters I enjoyed in the original graphic novel by Claremont and McLeod in the 1980’s.

Nrama: Can you name a few of the characters you'll be drawing and explain what your approach will be for each character?

Kirk: I'll be drawing the regular line up: Cannonball, Mirage, Karma, Magma, Sunspot, Magik, Cypher and Warlock.

Sounds like if Rahne is going to any regular series, it still isn't this one.

Patches

Here's something I never knew they made until recently:



Here are a couple of others:

Sooner Than You Think

From an interview with Zeb Wells at ComicBookResources.com :

We want to have Rahne peek in on her friends as soon as possible, and anyone who follows the great “X-Force” knows they have a lot to talk about. Our path and X-Force’s may be crossing sooner than you think.

Sweet and Sour

It's official. New Mutants Reunion.

Interview with writer Zeb Wells here, in which Wells says:

"Wolfsbane won’t be playing a large role in New Mutants, as she’s being used (and used incredibly well) by Craig Kyle and Chris Yost in "X-Force." If she ever becomes available we’ll see how she fits into the team, but I’ll admit that I’m in no hurry to see that happen."

New Mutants Saga, Rumorpedia, & Found Image

By now you likely have seen the announcement for New Mutants Saga. If not, look here: http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=11465 . What concerns me though is that "April 1" release date, if you know what I mean.

Wikipedia claims it'll be an ongoing series, but whether that's insight or speculation is anyone's guess. Read further and you'll see what sounds way too good to be true -- a New Mutants movie, allegedly in pre-production.

Lastly, a found image, I honestly can't remember where I got it. If it's not someone just fooling around, then I hope they adjust the style about 15 years back.
