Interlude: Pointing Out Something Better To Read On Another Website

OR more specifically an interview with Zeb Wells, writer of the brilliant New Mutants ongoing over at Comic Book Resources.

Pointing it out is pretty redundant but the man is of great interest to me, handling characters like Cannonball and Legion with the sort of respect you don't get from other writers.

If you want to have a good idea of what he has planned and to see some exclusive artwork follow the link to X-Position (comicbookresources) NOW!

Things of interest in the interview:

• Wells has no plans to address Cannonball's status as an immortal X-ternal. Good.
• Dani and Cannonball's relationship will take a strange turn in issue 5 (bets: they're gonna GET IT ON!)
• If we saw anything other than fluffy unicorns in Legion's head we may all be insane (OH SH-)
• Wells would love to see Cassandra Nova appear in his book?
• Empath blah blah blah NEW TEAM WHA?
• I probably missed clues about how Legion returned from the dead in issue 3. That's gonna bug me.
• Sunspot's powers... Not what they seem? I don't get it. He used to fly and such but I just figured that changed for no reason.

OHOHOHOHO! SOMEONE SPOTTED THE CONTINUITY ALERT I JUST BROUGHT UP IN THE QUICK-FIRE REVIEWS! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA:

Continuity alert! Officer Patricio Oliver is reporting for duty and needs to know where Sunspot was on the night in question:

How come Sunspot was portrayed as part of the Hellions team in “Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia”? And will the team have a role in the “Dark Reign” crossover?

The X-Men/Avengers crossover takes place between issues #4 and 5 of “New Mutants,” so while the team does have a role in “Utopia,” it won’t be playing out in our book. Believe me though, Fraction has some big things going on with a few of the characters, and we’ll grab the football without missing a beat come issue #5.

OH THANK GOD! It all makes more sense now! Back to the bullet points:

• Zeb Wells is a jackass who fucked up with Sunspot saying "madre de dios" (self-confessed)
• The title "New Mutants" will take on a whole new meaning come issue 9... WILL THERE BE SOME ACTUAL NEW MUTANTS POST M-DAY?!

Awesome.
