Feb. 29th, 2004 12:59 pmBought a whole host of stuff at the comic shop yesterday. Treated myself. Yay. :)
Good thing to pick up was Marvel Previews for May. We like. Had a snippet from the script of Joss Weedon's first X-men issue. Amusing enough - looks like the final lineup for his issues has been confirmed. Pretty happy that he's holding onto Scott, Emma, Hank, Logan (big surprise there) and Kitty. Guess he had to wrestle Claremont to get Kitty. Actually I've always thought Kitty was one of Claremont's strongest characters but there you go.
The script gives a couple of hints as to the direction of the new book. Back to spandex for one, justified by the fact they want to look like heroes and the black leather is scaring people off. Bit of a weird justification in my opinion considering it's only Wolverine out of the characters in the book who's had any major costume change. Also Kitty's the team's poster child as the rest of them are too freaky (Emma's freaky? Give me freaky any time then.)
