We’ve already seen the confirmation of one new Marvel NOW! series in Cullen Bunn and Will Sliney’s “Fearless Defenders” and now Chris Bachalo has given more details about the teased “Uncanny” relaunch in a blog post.
The image, shown above, is purportedly a detail of the cover of the first issue of the relaunch, showing a redesigned Cyclops, Magneto and Magick as well as two undetermined, “new” mutants cropped out on either side. In the blog post, Bachalo talked about the difficulties of the relaucnh.
Its a tough learning curve that typically takes a few issues to figure out and grow comfortable with. We’re still very early into the creative part so hard for me to comment on exactly what to expect. The daring part is that the tone of the book–feels like, its early–will be a little darker. Characters powers have been ‘adjusted” as a result of the Phoenix five fall out and I was asked to redesign costumes for the entire cast. Everyone. Plus, as of today, there are two “new” mutants. Its a big jump that I’m sure will turn a few off but, we’re betting on, that most will welcome and enjoy.
It seems that the “Uncanny” relaunch will have a very different feel than Bendis’ other X-Men title, “All New X-Men”, with one focusing on the actual X-Men team and the other focusing on Cyclops’s all new Brotherhood.
All together, now: CYCLOPS WAS RIGHT!
