P:R Approved: Nick Bradshaw’s Future X-Men in “Wolverine & The X-Men”

Note: I don’t know about you, but the recently launched Wolverine And The X-Men has been a breath of fresh air in Marvel’s mutant comics — and that was only doubled when artist Nick Bradshaw took over. Following after Chris Bachalo is a challenge unto itself, but Bradshaw excelled and also introduced us to a future team of X-Men featuring some of today’s teen mutants all grown up — and some merged with other concepts. Quintin Quire as Phoenix, with a tinge of Charles Xavier? A Brood as X-Man? Lapsed X-men fans might not know who any of these are, but you can’t help but enjoy the decisions and maybe — just maybe — want to give this title a look. Here’s sketches Bradshaw did of the future team, taken from this Newsarama.com interview with writer Jason Aaron. Be sure to click on each image to blow it up — the small notes Bradshaw makes are worth reading! – Chris A.

P:R Redesign: Kevin Wada’s X-Men Couture!

Note: While the main thrust of our site is to re-imagine super-hero wardrobe to replace what they have now, we’re also in love with fashion in general. Artist Kevin Wada has read our minds and come up with a series of illustrations putting some of the X-women in some high-class couture. Maybe the new Jean Grey School for Higher Learning has a fashion class Kevin can teach? – Chris A.
